Now Fano is fighting for weapons with a wrong belief in marching to 4kilo. I also warned PP not to dismantle the amhara special force without consensus of the people. As so Amhara special force had a huge role in stabilizing the amhara region. So while Abiy removed Liyus. Fano filled the vaccuum and nearly took over amhara region until ENDF was brought in
Without central leadership the Fano entity has become lawless and chaotic. Led by Zemene Kassie and Eskinder Nega both aspiring to copy TPLFs war tactics in hopes of repeating 1991. Have failed utterly.
Fano cannot just march to 4kilo. Today Ethiopia is an ethnic federation. And No Matter what the Oromo will not accept Fano taking power by force. Oromos in 1991 where asleep today they are awake
Fano cannot cause war just to control cities it is doing large damage to the regional infrastructure by attempting to copy TDF successes in the last war. Btw TDF lost the former war
Fano is nothing more then amhara extremism just like Shene is Oromo extremism. Fano now is in threat as many shiftas blend in with Fano this can cause major uproar in Amhara region against Fano! Amharas like Oromos will eventually join Militias to push off lawless shiftas
Bahir dar resident saying he enjoys the peace of PP and not the chaos of Fano. This means Fano is losing support in Amhara!'If I get kidnapped, who will take care of my son?': Crime is thriving in #Ethiopia's war-torn #Amhara region
Since the outbreak of conflict in April 2023 between the #Fano, an Amhara nationalist militia, and the Ethiopian army, kidnappings and abuses have become rampant, especially around #Bahir_Dar, the regional capital.
Every day, Dereje (names have been changed) drives the streets of Bahir Dar, the capital of the Amhara region in northwestern Ethiopia, in his blue and white "bajaj" – an iconic three-wheeled taxi found in every city across the country. The demanding job barely allows him to provide for his wife and two daughters. "But at least I can be sure of coming home at night," he confided.
While city traffic can be chaotic, it is far less dangerous than the regional roads, where the threat of being robbed by militia members is constant. In September 2024, while traveling with a colleague in a truck loaded with grain between #Metemma, a city on the Sudanese border, and Addis Ababa, the capital, Dereje was stopped by five men armed with Kalashnikovs, their faces covered with black scarves.
"One of them struck the right side of my face with the [deleted] of his weapon and forced me out of the truck. Another took the wheel and drove off with our truck and all its cargo. They blindfolded us and took us to a cornfield, a few hundred meters off the road," the driver recalled, anxiously fingering the beige cross he wore around his neck. The two captives, stripped of their phones and money, were eventually released.
