Do they know Tigreans had been singing about Fano for thousands of years prior to the era when Amharu creole was invented by commander Hadani of Axum around 11th century?
Tigreans still sing : Fano Ye Fano teXemXimkaya zeytiHadir Kem Shigemano!
It is Tigrean university students who, in the 60s or 70s, introduced the word Fano to the University Campuses in Addis in particular and to Addis/Ethiopia in general. According to the history books of Ethiopian student struggle by Dr Taddesse and Prof Gebru Tareke: "Fano tesemara bedur begedelu Hizbun enditmera" , the popular student fervor, was invented by Tigrean student leaders( specifically Meles Tekle and Sibhat wubneh) in Addis Abeba University.
