Historical Context of the Amhara Militias
The primary militia fighting Abiy Ahmed’s forces is the Fano militia. Stemming back to the 1930s, Fano, also known as ‘volunteer fighters,’ opposed Mussolini’s Italy during the 1935 invasion and occupation of Ethiopia until its liberation in 1941.
The Fano would become a symbolic means of resistance against occupiers and seeing the Tigray People’s Liberation Front and Abiy’s government as another oppressor, the militia would become vital to the perseverance of the Amhara people once again.
