A video purporting to show the killing of Ethiopian Christians by Islamic State-affiliated militants in Libya has been released online.
The 29-minute video appears to show militants holding two groups of captives, one by an affiliate in eastern Libya known as Barka Province and the other by the Fazzan Province, an affiliate in the south.
A masked fighter wielding a pistol says Christians must convert to Islam or pay a special tax prescribed by the Quran, before the captives in the south are shown being shot dead and the captives in the east are beheaded on a beach.

And the most frustrating thing is that nobody is going to do a damned thing about it!
What's Ethiopia going to be able to do about it?
Obama?

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. This is not some rag-tag group of extremists trying to convert the world to their brand of Islam. Someone is putting up a lot of money and resources to keep these guys in business, and in the media. We need to find out who that is, and all will become clear.

But are they not selling the oil they've stolen, the ancient valuable artifacts they have stolen, and running banks now? I've read they have taken over towns' assets as they go. They are making millions, are they not?

This just goes to show, whoever these guys are, it's not who we think they are. Ethiopian Christians have a special place in Islam as they sheltered the prophet's followers during persecution, and are looked at in a "brotherly" manner.
Then you have the destruction of ancient wonders which have existed quite undisturbed through centuries of caliphates and such.
These guys are hired rabble rousers, meant to destabilize the region, to what ultimate end is anyone's guess. Their lack of aggression towards Israel is fishy too.
These guys just don't add up on analysis.

No need to go scampering to Obama's defense. Nobody expects HIM to do anything.

Try answering the question instead of making a stupid remark. Why should America do anything? These people are not American citizens nor did it happen in American waters so it is none of Americas business.
