At least 800 people were reportedly killed in Ethiopia as worshippers and soldiers risked their lives to protect what Christians there say is the sacred Ark of the Covenant from local militia. Ethiopian Christians claim the Ark — the wooden chest built to hold the Ten Commandments of Moses — is being kept safe in a chapel in the holy northern city of Axum in the Tigray region.
The battle between Ethiopian soldiers and rebel fighters happened in the fall, The Sunday Times reported, but it is only being reported now.
“When people heard the shooting they ran to the church to give support to the priests and others who were there protecting the ark,” Getu Mak, a local university lecturer, told The Times.
“Certainly some of them were killed for doing that.”
Little was known about the deadly siege since Tigray is cut off from the world and journalists had been blocked from entering the region.

People in Texas are suffering horribly right now
They really weren't prepared at all for the snow
If you think Texas is bad, just wait until something happens to California
Way too many people are just completely clueless and unprepared for a natural disaster. Texas should be a wake up call to always have a plan to prepare for the worst. Stock up water above all else, amazing how civilization suddenly falls apart so fast when the faucets aren't working anymore.
Elon Musk just put $1.5 BILLION dollars into bitcoin, holy cow!
My God, $100k per bitcoin now seems to be a real possibility. It's already gone up $5k over the past hour.
Tesla announced Monday that it bought $1.5 billion worth of bitcoin, according to a filing with the SEC.
The company said it bought the bitcoin for "more flexibility to further diversify and maximize returns on our cash," according to the filing. In addition to the purchase, Tesla said it would start accepting payments in bitcoin in exchange for its products as well.
The move raised immediate questions around CEO Elon Musk's behavior on Twitter recent weeks, where he has been credited for increasing the prices of cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and dogecoin by posting messages about them and therefore encouraging more people to buy.
This is breaking news. Please check back for updates.
