Speaking of Ethiopia

I noticed today in my weekly email update from Voice of the Martyrs:

  • JIMMA – On March 22, two Bible school students were imprisoned on the accusation of attempting to kill an imam. They were released one week later with after paying a fine. A court hearing was scheduled for April 2, 2007.
  • BAMBASSE – April 2, the home of evangelist Tolosa Megersa was raided by local Muslims. Six of his cattle and sheep were killed. Five days later, the home of Full Gospel Church leader Lemmu Abdissa, was also raided. All of his property was destroyed, including 4,000 kilograms of grain.

As I’m posting this blog, I’m trying to figure out how to use Platial’s map making service. Erghh… It’s not as easy as say, Google Maps Mashups. Maybe WordPress will eventually feature them as a widget.
