Worries are mounting over the preservation of the historic churches of Lalibela in Ethiopia. These structures, listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites, stand as icons of the country’s architecture and spirituality. However, recent reports suggest they could be at risk due to unregulated development activities.
The concerns primarily revolve around ongoing construction work in the area, which could potentially harm the historic sites. Local authorities have been urged to intervene and safeguard this precious cultural heritage.
Calls are also being made for better regulation of development projects to preserve the integrity of the Lalibela churches. Both national and international appeals for action emphasize the importance of protecting these architectural and spiritual treasures for future generations.
