Ethiopia news: The African country of Ethiopia said on Friday that its soldiers killed more than 300 fighters of the Phano Armed Group in a two -day clash in the North Amhara area. After this incident, the possibility of massive war in the area has increased.
Fano Militia took part in the two -year civil war with Ethiopia and Irritria forces. In this conflict, Adis Ababa encountered the Tigre People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), which controls the northern Tigre region. Since then, differences between Ethiopia and Irritria have been deepening.
The possibility of war increased
Increasing violence in recent weeks has given rise to the possibility of a new war between Ethiopia and Irritria. In view of the current tension, Eritrea has allegedly ordered military mobilization across the country, while Ethiopia has also increased the deployment of soldiers on its border. The conflict between the Ethiopian Army and Fano Militia began in July 2023, inspired by a sense of mistrust prevailing in the Amhara community over the terms of the 2022 peace agreement.
Ethiopian army statement
The Ethiopian army said in a statement issued on Friday, “The extremist group, which called itself Fano, carried out attacks in various parts of Amhara area under the name of ‘Operation Unity’. Now this extremist group has been abolished. According to the army, 317 phano fighters were killed and 125 were injured in this campaign. The army also said that it will continue the attack against this extremist group and would not back down till its complete elimination.
Dominated claims
Amhara Fano spokesperson Abbey Fantahun rejected the claim of the Ethiopian army in Volo Beta-Amhara. He said late Friday that the Ethiopian army has not even been able to kill his 30 fighters. At the same time, Fano spokesperson Yohanes Nigusu claimed that 602 Ethiopian soldiers were killed, 430 injured and 98 soldiers were caught in the battle, while militia also seized large quantities of weapons.
Doubt on the number of dead
Abbey Fanthan called the National Army claim that Brigadier General Migbe Hale, a senior military officer associated with TPLF, supported the operation unity of Fano. He denied any kind of relationship with militia. However, the number of casualties in the fight could not be independently confirmed. Army spokesperson Gatenet Edane and federal government spokesman Legi Tulu did not comment on the issue.
