Toronto – Despite continued claims from the Ethiopian Defense Force that it is gaining upper hand over Fano forces in the Amhara region of Ethiopia, the latter are claiming significant military gains in several areas in the Amhara region of Ethiopia. However, Fano forces also report that government forces are shelling residential areas killing non-combatant civilians.
According to Ethio News, a credible local news source with links to sources in the Amhara region of Ethiopia, reported intense several hours long battle between Amhara Fano National Force (AFNF) division and government forces in West Gojjam are of Amhara region. Government forces were reportedly moving from Bure to Kuche, in the direction of Wollega, when Fano forces launched an offensive.
