This Fano fighter had a relatively good life but all of a sudden decided to leave everything and joined Fano weeks before ENDF started its operation to disarm Fano and the regional special forces some 6 months ago. His family members had no contact for more than 6 months until he called them on Ethiopian new year.
He told them that he is very happy that he joined Fano and that he is excited as he is currently being trained as a DShK (ዲሽቃ) operator. He said they have captured thousands of DShKs (ዲሽቃ) and have also built a mechanized birgade. He also said that they have stopped counting the captured Kalashnikovs. Kalashnikovs are no longer collected and managed by proper Fano but are rather left to the many young people who follow every battle unarmed in the hope of grabbing weapons.
He is very confident that they will win the war and reach Addis. He told his family how they managed to capture so many weapons with little sacrifice and without human wave tactics. The Fano commanders have developed an extremely clever tactic to attack and inflict heavy losses and capture weapons from ENDF without wasting much ammunition and lives. I don't want to discuss the tactic here, but it is extremely intelligent. It seems war is a mind game and those who can employ a smart tactic can beat even the biggest army.
