Ethiopian Air Force engagement plan includes the use of fighter helicopters

Toronto – The Abiy Ahmed administration seems to be resorting to airstrikes as the latest massive mobilization and plan to eliminate Fano forces by mid September fails.
According to an Ethiopian Media Service (EMS) report the government is planning to undertake drone strikes and airstrikes in the Amhara region against Fano forces as the latter are now in control of a considerably large portion of the Amhara region running district level administrations.
The series of mobilizations and massive military campaigns in the region appears to have rather helped the Fano force to arm themselves more by engaging Ethiopian troops through a combination of ambush attacks and conventional battles.
The support the Fano group enjoys from the people also made the Defense Force military campaign an complicated one. Apart from logistical and intelligence support from the public, tens of thousands of new recruits joined the ranks of Fanos, From video regularly circulating on social media, an open air graduation ceremony for new recruits has become very common in many small towns and districts in the region.
Earlier this week, EMS reported that there has been an evaluation within the defense force and that some military commanders (whose names are unspecified) are reportedly facing possible arrest in connection with the repeated failures of the military campaigns.
The government is planning to deploy fighter helicopters and drones targeting Fano forces. Soon after the government declared the military operation in the region, drone strikes were regularly used in the Amhara region. However, the victims were mostly civilians including civilians and children, as was documented by human rights organizations in the country and abroad.
If EMS report about planning airstrike is true, this is happening at a time when Egypt is exploiting Ethiopia’s tension with Somalia following the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding to undertake a military campaign under the guise of bilateral military agreement with the government in Mogadishu. Confirmed reports from Somalia indicate that Egypt sent heavy weaponry – including anti-aircraft missiles – to Hassan Sheik’s government.
Meanwhile, fighting between Fano forces and the Defense force reportedly continued in many parts of the Amhara region. Ethio News on Sunday reported that there have been battles in Armachiho, Amhara Saynt in Wollo, Lasta and Tegede, among other areas.

A governmet is doing this attacks to its own innocent citizents, towns and cities this? If this really destructive policy and desperate move on the part of the sinking ship of Abiy’s regime I don’t know what it is.
Folks, I just returned from a trip to the old country. When I was there, I spent the whole time in Amhara and Oromia regions doing extensive investigations. This is what I found out. Remember my findings are not to be questioned and must be taken as facts.
1) Amhara Region: I was able to get the list of names of the government’s soldiers who are fighting the rebels there. They are all pure, 100% Oromos. There is not a single soldier of Tigre, Afar, Amhara, Somali, Sidama or any other ethnicity. I also got the names of officials who rule that region. The chief administrator, Arega Kebede, is 100% Oromo born and raised in Western Hararghe at the village where I was born. He and everyone under him are all 100% Oromos from my Itu clan.
2) Oromo Region: To start off, I discovered that the president of the region, Shimelis Abdisa, is 100% pure Amhara. Even his last name is not actually Abdisa. I found out he was born in Gondar and his father’s name was Abebe. So his real name is Shimelis Abebe. I was also able to get the list of names of soldiers who are fighting the rebels in Oromia. They are 100% pure Amharas. There are no Tigres, Afar, Somali or of any other ethnicity among those government soldiers. Every official under Shimelis ruling Oromia is 100% pure Amhara. I have already told you about Abiy and Jula. Abiy was born to a Filipina mother and a Maori father in Manila, the Philippines. Jula was born to Tutsi parents in Kigali, Rwanda in 1991.
There you have it. I have presented the results of my investigative trip to the old country to the connivers and bigots in Minnesota, Toronto, Tennessee, Michigan, Oslo and Down Under and they were all ecstatically satisfied with it. You can see my reports on every website of the bigots and connivers. They all told me they will make sure that I will be awarded with a Pulitzer’s Prize. Am I so good or what?!!!
What does the so called fano doing in amhara region ???
Yes it is seen black and white that killing the innocent Amharas in front of camera !!!
I am happy be born in addis to be ethiopian rather than my ethnic proud oromo but not with out my country Ethiopia !!!
Taking EMS as a refference is realy shame !! what they talking stays only 12:00 hours the next day what they are reporting is identified as fack news !!!
Any way !!
It is my prayer God blesse my country Ethiopia !!!
The Oromo Apartheid regime lead by Abiy Ahmed has been indiscriminately slaughtering n raping and looting ethnic Amhara for 6 years.
Fascist Abiy and his murderous soldiers must be removed from Amhara region and brought to ICC.
