Addis Ababa: Ethiopia will hold three days of national mourning for the Ethiopian Christians killed by Islamic State militants in Libya, the government said on Monday. The mourning period will begin tomorrow after its official launch by parliament, Communications Minster Redwan Hussein told AFP. State television said flags would fly at half mast. Addis Ababa has condemned the killings, and said its embassy in Egypt was trying to confirm exactly how many died and their identities. “Many of them were Ethiopians, even though we don’t know the exact number yet,” Redwan said, adding that it remained unclear if it would be possible to recover the bodies.      — AFP
