750 Massacred last month in Eritrean church holding Ark of the Covenant
- copperwater69 6y agoThis has only just come to light as a lone Belgian journalist was able to get past the military to report on it.
- CharlesDodgson 6y agovery sad, so much cultural heritage at risk.
- ChrisGranger 6y agoWhen posting to HN, please use articles' actual titles. "Massacre at Tigray’s Mariam of Zion cathedral in Aksum" And that church is believed by some to hold the Ark, so your title is, in the very least, editorializing. The fact that people aren't allowed to see it makes the claim even flimsier.
- jfengel 6y agoWithout that editorializing, I suspect it's of little iterest to HN. It's not a technical topic. It's not even current events. It's an ongoing genocide, which is receiving little attention because reasons. The only reason to see it here at all is that it has a flimsy connection to a piece of fiction beloved of many people here. (The film, I mean, not the original source material.) That does violate the guidelines, though there seems to be some wiggle room when the rewritten headline clarifies the purpose of the submission.
