Ethiopia

WORLD Magazine reports in last week's issue of a "new jihad" as attacks on Christians in Ethiopia -- the Horn of Africa -- may mean a new African conflict.
Here are some quick facts about Ethiopia to think about:

Population

77,431,000

Capital
Addis Ababa; 2,723,000

Area
1,133,380 square kilometers
(437,600 square miles)

Language
Amharic, Tigrinya, Orominga, Guaraginga, Somali, Arabic

Religion
Muslim, Ethiopian Orthodox, animist

In addition to the jihad, the CDC writes if present trends continue, that by 2008, 1.8 million in Ethiopia will be lost to AIDS. 1.8 million people... that's 1.8 million souls between heaven and hell. When will we wake up to see that all that matters is sharing Jesus with others? Oh, that He would be high and exalted in Ethiopia. Even now.
