Fano fighters have been moving to and from Sudan into Amhara through Qwara. Despite several operations, military has not been able to dislodge Fano fighters from Ethiopia Sudan border areas.
The second ambush attack was carried out by Amhara Fano People’s Organization (AFPO) in North Shewa zone of the Amhara region. Several government soldiers aboard two military vehicles were killed as Fano forces ambushed units of the 101st Airborne Commando Division traveling from Rema to Alem-Ketema, Merhabete Woreda, ( North Shewa Zone, Amhara Region, Ethiopia) on November 11. Two Fano groups called Amhara Fano National Force (AFNF) and Amhara Fano People’s Organization (AFPO) are operating in the North Shewa zone of Amhara region.
