Toronto – Fano forces allege that government forces killed and mutilated a breast of a fallen Fano combatant in the Amhara region of Ethiopia.
She is identified as Fanit Balem, and was a member of Amhara Fano National Force (AFNF) West Zone, Ras Bitwoded Mengesha Antikem Division, and Arenzaw Damot Brigade.
According to sources, she was a member of the commando unit of the Fano forces operating in the Gojjam area.
AFPF alleges that “government forces naked the body of Fanit Balem, pulled a knife, mutilated her breast, skinned her and three her breast on the Asphalt road.”
The Fano forces cited conventions about war. “Let alone a dead body, captured soldiers should be treated humanely and handed over to humanitarian organizations like the Red Cross,” it said.
Notably, Fano forces handed over about 16 wounded soldiers, from the operations in North Wollo, to ICRC.
The image of Fanit Alem has been trending on social media platforms among Ethiopian users. The story had stirred more anger against the defense force and the ruling prosperity party.
The Ethiopian Defense Force has not remarked about that incident. Human Rights organizations operating in the country have not yet remarked about it too.
There had been recurring incidents of verified egregious human rights violations including extrajudicial killings by the Ethiopian Defense Forces in the Amhara region of Ethiopia over the past two years.
There were instances when bodies like the United Nations Human Rights, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch issued a statement in connection with the killings of non-combatants due to the conflict in the Amhara region of Ethiopia.
The Fano forces operating in the region have reportedly launched what is said to be a retaliatory offensive targeting several locations in the Gojjam area.

Another earthquake just hit the same area it hit a few days ago about 33 miles from Mekele. The area is inhabited mainly by the Afar people and it was measured at 4.3 on the Richter scale. It happened just a few minutes ago. The previous ones recently have displaced thousands already. Awash/Fentale, look out!!!
The ruthless brutality of Abiy Ahmed’s Prosperity Party’s military forces has long been evident through their barbaric massacres of Tigrayans during a two-year genocidal war. This barbarism must be brought to an immediate end. It is imperative to pursue peaceful dialogue aimed at halting these relentless crimes, many of which go unreported due to media suppression within the war-ravaged towns and villages. The deliberate slaughter of the young lady, already given up the ghost, in such a savage manner exposes the complete moral collapse of those involved, revealing a level of depravity that surpasses mere chaos or madness. Such actions are a stark testament to the utter loss of human decency and should be met with the strongest possible condemnation by all Ethiopians.
“—— The Prosperity Party army systematically turned into ungovernable savages, and yet this produced in them no tendency whatever to rebel against the discipline of the obnoxious Prosperity Party.
1). Jawar’s Anölé 2.0 (!?): Why would the army or any Pro-Abiy do that? How does ‘killing & mutilating’ Amara female help Abiy’s government? Unless it is the Amara Anölé Version, better err on the side of caution and let justice take its course.
2). Misinformation/Disinformation [MD] | Trading in Amara’s Agony [TAG]: MD & TAG are Hallmarks of Amara Diaspora [AD] →70% are beneficiaries of former Self-Appointed Tyrant Regimes. They only want to return to power & rule with impunity.
(i). Had the AD cared about Amaras, why hadn’t they airdropped 100g [10¢] bread for the famine/drought-stricken Amaras ever since the 1970s? Isn’t it their Ineptitude & Greed that made Ethiopia “The World’s Poster Child of Poverty & Famine”?
(ii). Anti-Ethiopia/Anti-Amaras/Anti-Oromos try to pit Amaras against Oromos [or vice-versa] for self-serving motives. If Oromos were as anti-Amara as they spew, why would ≥15 million Amaras live in Oromia [ youtu.be/IXBVqbOe9uY?t=2320 ]?
(iii). As we speak, these Amaras [mostly from Gojjam & Gonder (G&G)] reap social benefits in Oromia [education/jobs/health care/etc.]. Well, no Oromo invited them to Oromia or prevented them from leaving either. Cf.: I have never met any Oromo in G&G.
3). Abiy’s Government | Amara/Oromo Extremism | Domestic Terrorism [DT]:
i). Abiy’s Party/Government was elected under on-site scrutiny by AU/UN/EU/US/etc. Any armed insurrection to topple elected governments is DT anywhere in the world!
ii). Fanno [Misnomer] & OLF-IFLO [Misnomer] are waging armed insurrection with support from Egypt, EPLF/Eritrea, etc. They are Mercenary Domestic Terrorists [DTs].
iii). Double Standard: When ‘Fannos’ kill soldiers, it is Amara Heroism/Patriotism. When Ethiopian soldiers kill ‘Fannos’, it’s ‘Human Rights Violation’. How convenient!
iv). NO Safe Haven for DT & DTs: ‘OLF-IFLO’ also swears by same Playbook! Both ‘Fanno’ & ‘OLF-IFLO’ serve the same masters: Egypt, EPLF/Eritrea. No Safe Haven!
No body care the nonsense you are spreading. The savage act of this Oromumaa army commands by sub human Abiy since the Tigray war is recorded by national and international human rights organizations.
Addendum:
4). Only Ethiopia’s Enemies [Egypt, EPLF/Eritrea, etc.], their Proxies [‘Amara Fanno’/TPLF/OLF-IFLO/etc.], and agents of former tyrant regimes [እኔ ከሞትኩ – ሰርዶ አይብቀል] mutilate Amaras/Oromos/etc. to wreak havoc & tarnish Ethiopia’s image!
5). When the Amaras in the Amara Zone [AZ] went to the polls and elected Amaras as their representatives/leaders, they NEVER elected the Self-Appointed “Amara Fannos.”
6). Why didn’t the Self-Appointed Fannos run in the last AZ election? Why don’t they respect the last election’s results & run in the upcoming if Amaras love them as they say?
7). Look at examples of the Self-Appointed Amara Fanno’s Economic Warfare & Terrorism on Amaras/Oromos/Ethiopia:
i). No sooner had Amaras received more tractors [for guaranteed Amara Food Security] than the Self-Appointed ‘Amara Fanno’ intensified its war in/on Gojjam [Abbay/Tana] to preserve Egypt’s Nile Water Quota: youtu.be/_ejBczkTHlA?t=299
ii). Burning Down Truck Loads of Amara/Ethiopia Export: youtu.be/nHgFZYel-ck
iii). Destroying 5 Businesses & putting ≈1000 Amaras out of work: youtu.be/xvv-gCotkVo
iv). Oromo Massacre/Displacement: (a) youtu.be/mj0_41cu5tM?t=7 || (b). youtu.be/07zObPwWPrA?t=293
