Ethiopian Security Forces on Friday claimed to have killed over 100 Fano militia fighters in two zones of the Amhara region.
Since 2023, Fano militias have been fighting the Ethiopian security forces in the Amhara region. The region is virtually under military control. One after the other several major military operations have been conducted in Amhara in the last 18 months.
The Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF), on Friday evening, shared details of the operation against Fano fighters.
“In Gojjam zones, the eastern command forces have destroyed more than 100 extremists and captured many weapons and logistical materials,” ENDF stated.
The operation by Eastern Command Corps was conducted in Ayu Gugusa woreda, Uhudt, Amanuel, Debre Elias woreda and other places.
Fano militias generally reject claims made by the Ethiopian security forces. No official statement has been issued by Gojjam Fano so far.
