Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church Registers Sacred Musical Instruments and Holy Books as Intellectual Property

YOUK Network, London, April 11, 2025

The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church (EOTC) has officially registered its sacred religious musical instruments and more than ten holy books as intellectual property with the Ethiopian Intellectual Property Authority. The registration, confirmed on 11 April 2025, recognizes these cultural and spiritual items under copyright and related rights.

According to a statement from the Church, the acknowledgment letter from the Ethiopian Intellectual Property Authority confirms the registration of traditional liturgical instruments—such as drums and cymbals—alongside a number of significant religious texts as the intellectual property of the EOTC.

Melake Selam Dawit Yared, Head of the EOTC Public Relations Department, noted that the Church, as an active member of the Heritage Conservation Library and Museum Committee, has worked diligently to safeguard its cultural assets. He emphasized that the registration represents an important step in preserving and protecting the Church’s spiritual heritage through the efforts of the Intellectual Property Committee.

Church Administrator and Two Militiamen Killed During Epiphany Celebration in Oromia Region

YOUK Network, London – January 20, 2025

A tragic incident occurred during the Epiphany celebrations in the town of Derba, located near the Derba Cement area about 20 kilometers from Chancho town in Ethiopia's Oromia region. According to Meseret Media, the local administrator of Derba Michael Church and two militiamen were killed, while several others were abducted by militants.

A local resident expressed shock at the incident, saying, "The one who was killed is the administrator of Derba Michael Church." The event has left the community deeply shaken.

A regional official, speaking anonymously, confirmed the attack and identified the perpetrators as members of the Shene militant group. "Shene carried out the act, killing three individuals and abducting eight others, who were taken into the forest," the official stated.
The Shene group has been blamed for numerous violent attacks in the Sheger town and North Shewa (Salale) areas near Addis Ababa, targeting both civilians and officials. These repeated assaults have caused significant loss of life and instability in the region.

Reports also suggest that state media outlets have been directed to avoid covering such militant attacks, particularly those targeting government leaders, according to Meseret Media sources.

Thousands Celebrate "Melody of Myriads" with Enthusiasm in Ethiopia

YOUK Network, London | January 8, 2025

Thousands of Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church members gathered at Bole Debre Salem Medhanealem Church on January 6, 2025, to celebrate the second annual "Melody of Myriads" event. Organized by the Ethiopian Jandereba Generation, the event drew large crowds, filling the church grounds and even causing temporary road closures around Bole leading to Bole International Airport.

The celebration was graced by the presence of His Holiness Abune Mathias, Patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, who was joined by several esteemed church leaders, including His Holiness Abune Dioscorus (Archbishop of the Tigray Metropolitanate), His Holiness Abune Henok (Archbishop of Addis Ababa Diocese), His Holiness Abune Mekarios (Archbishop of the Western Canada Diocese), His Holiness Abune Thomas (Archbishop of Awi Zone Diocese), His Holiness Abune Elisha (Archbishop of the Somali Diocese), and others. Leaders from sister churches, as well as prominent singers and religious figures, were also in attendance.

The event began at 1:00 PM with a prayer for national peace and relief from natural disasters, hosted by Teacher Paulos Melka Selassie. This was followed by Gospel readings and covenant prayers led by His Holiness the Patriarch. His Holiness Abune Henok, Archbishop of Addis Ababa Diocese, welcomed attendees with a message of unity and hope. The official opening of the gathering was marked by teaching from His Holiness Abune Mathias, who blessed the event and extended his wishes for a meaningful celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ before returning to his office.

This year’s "Melody of Myriads" featured significant enhancements compared to the previous gathering. The stage was adorned with ancient Ethiopian artwork, with the Ark of Zion and the Chariot of Janderbaw displayed prominently, symbolizing Ethiopia's role as a keeper of the two covenants. Despite the overwhelming number of attendees, the event’s head of security, Jan Agafari, commended the participants for their patience and cooperation during inspections. “Although the turnout exceeded expectations, everyone showed remarkable discipline, making the celebration a success. We are committed to preparing an even better event next year,” he said.

The celebration reached millions, both in person and through online broadcasts, and concluded with a mass. Many participants stayed at Bole Debre Salem to attend the mass in person, while others followed the service via large screens. Reflecting on the success of the event, Haile Yesus, the host of the Ejat Jan Mass, announced plans for a "Liturgy Talent Course" on Janderabaw Media in 2026. “This course will help transition into the Melody of Myriads. We encourage everyone to join and learn,” he said.
The event garnered coverage from numerous national and international media outlets, highlighting its significance as a celebration of faith, unity, and cultural heritage.

Marry Ethiopian Christmas- Gena 2017

YOUK Network, London, January 6, 2025

Enkwan Aderesen, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men of goodwill. Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to those whom He loves” (Luke 2:14).

No one can explain the mystery of his birth, nor is it possible to explain how his corporeal birth occurred in time, but his divine Sonship occurred before time. The one was from a virgin mother, the other from God the Father.

The virgin held in her womb what the whole world could not contain—accepted being called the son of David to make you the Son of God! He allowed a slave to become His father, to make you who is a slave having the Lord as your father! He was born in the flesh to give you birth according to the spirit! He was born of a woman so you would no longer be a son to a woman!
May our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, born in the flesh to restore man from slavery to freedom in His perfect love, bring us safely to the two thousand and seventeenth year of His mercy.

Wish you a happy Ethiopian Christmas!

Patriarch Abune Mathias I Calls for Greater Efforts to Stabilize the World Amid Human Conflicts

By YOUK Network, London, December 31, 2024

His Holiness Abune Mathias I, Patriarch and Archbishop of Ethiopia, delivered a message On December 31, 2024, urging the global community to make greater efforts to restore stability to a world troubled by human conflicts.

In his address marking the occasion of the 2025 Gregorian New Year and the celebration of Christmas, His Holiness extended his heartfelt wishes to all those observing the birth of Jesus Christ on December 25, 2024, as well as to those preparing to welcome the New Year.

Patriarch Abune Mathias I reflected on the many historical efforts to change the world and noted that while many individuals have tried to transform society, it is through God’s incarnation that the true transformation of human life occurred. He emphasized that the sacrifices we make, particularly by overcoming selfishness and helping others, should be the force driving change in the world.

The Patriarch also highlighted the destabilizing impact of ongoing conflicts such as the wars in Russia, Ukraine, and the Middle East, which have contributed to global instability. In his message, His Holiness called for a renewed commitment to peace, urging all people to forgive one another, collaborate for the common good, and take meaningful actions to restore peace and stability in the world.

As the world commemorates Christ’s birth and looks forward to 2025, Patriarch Abune Mathias I encouraged individuals to play their part in healing the divisions caused by human disagreements.

Priest Brutally Murdered in Gondar

YOUK Network, London, December 24, 2024

A priest named Kokeb Takele was brutally murdered yesterday in the Wukro area of Enfraz Sub-Woreda, Sahor Sar Wa Kebele, within Gondar Woreda. The tragic event was confirmed by Abba Yosef Desta, the General Manager of the Central Gondar Diocese, who shared details via his page.

In addition to the priest’s death, other Orthodox Christian members, including a deacon and several family members, were reportedly bound and tortured. Abba Yosef described the victims as being treated "like sheep" and enduring unimaginable suffering at the hands of their attackers.

"The plight of the Christians in Gondar is often overlooked and receives no attention from local authorities or the federal government," Abba Yosef said. He also pointed out that 11 Orthodox Christians—comprising one deacon and nine innocent farmers—are currently being held hostage and tortured by extremist groups, whom he claims are armed by the government.

The attack on the priest was especially horrific. "It wasn’t enough for the priest to be killed in such a brutal way—his neck twisted and torn apart. They desecrated his body, mocking the cross, spitting on it, and engaging in further acts of cruelty. The deacon was also mocked and tortured," he added.

Abba Yosef expressed his deep sorrow and frustration in his post, questioning the religious diversity of the country in the face of such violence. "If we cannot save him or even express our grief, what does this say about the state of religious diversity in the country?" he wrote. "Why does such violence keep happening in Gondar?" He further condemned the situation, stating, "Now, after all this, the perpetrators are blaming us for their crimes!"

The attack took place in the Enfranz area, where a total of 11 Orthodox Christians were targeted. The violence reportedly stemmed from a kidnapping incident earlier in the day, in which a child was abducted by bandits, as explained by Father Joseph.

The funeral for Priest Kokeb Takele, who was 52 years old and the father of seven daughters and three sons, took place on December 23, 2024.

Massacre of Orthodox Christians in Oromia Sparks Outrage Over Lack of Action

By YOUK Network, London – December 20, 2024

Reports from Shirka Woreda, Arsi Zone in Ethiopia's Oromia region indicate that more than 20 Orthodox Christians were killed in a violent attack on December 14 and 15, 2024. According to residents interviewed by Mahibere Kidusan Television, these brutal killings targeted members of the Eastern Arsi Diocese of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.

In addition to the deaths, local sources reported the abduction of an unknown number of individuals, including the head of the district church. Armed attackers also looted over 80 cattle belonging to Orthodox Christians. While some abductees, including the church leader and eight others, were eventually released after paying substantial ransom, many details about the incident remain unclear.

The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church's 43rd General Synod earlier reported that 271 Orthodox Christians had been killed in 2024 alone, highlighting a disturbing pattern of violence. These include attacks in various parts of Oromia, such as Arsi, Sheka, and Showa Zones, where killings, abductions, and displacement of believers have reportedly gone largely unaddressed by local, regional, and federal authorities.

In a particularly harrowing case on November 27 and 28, 2024, 11 individuals, including a 13-year-old child and an elderly person, were reportedly killed during a baptismal service. Six others remain missing. The Synod also documented attacks on churches, such as St. Mary’s Church in Burqa Guracha and St. George’s Church in Gure Debino, which resulted in the deaths of dozens of worshippers and the displacement of hundreds of families.

Despite these alarming trends, residents and commentators expressed frustration over the perceived silence of the federal government and the Patriarchate office. Local Orthodox Christians voiced their despair to Mahibere Kidusan Television, accusing authorities and media outlets of ignoring their plight.

“How can our suffering be overlooked while local media focus on trivial matters?” lamented one resident. Others have called for the Ethiopian government to urgently prioritize the safety and security of its citizens, emphasizing the need for accountability and justice for the victims of these atrocities.

This wave of violence against Orthodox Christians has underscored the challenges facing Ethiopia, where religious tensions and local conflicts continue to strain the social fabric. The international community and human rights organizations are now urged to monitor the situation and advocate for effective intervention.

Final Day of Tsirha Tsion Church Fundraising Campaign Nears Completion

By YOUK Network, London, 19 December 2024

The fundraising campaign for the London Tsirha Tsion Church building, themed "Attestation Before God", concludes today after six days of dedicated efforts.

For nearly 49 years, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church "Tsirha Tsion" has provided spiritual services from a rented house. With this campaign, the church aims to complete its long-awaited construction project. Over £700,000 has already been raised, thanks to generous contributions from the community and the active support of Donkey Tube.

The campaign has set a target of £1,000,000, and the organizer of Donke Tupe is hopeful that today's contributions will help bridge the remaining gap. Ethiopian Orthodox Christians and other church supporters worldwide have shown remarkable generosity over the past six days, significantly advancing the campaign’s progress.
