Toronto – The Second Police Division of Woldia city – in the locality of Gondar Ber – was reportedly attached overnight. At least five government forces were killed, seven others seriously wounded and even government forces were taken captive by the armed group.
Ethio News cited sources from the area to report that there was an exchange of fire in the area of the police station between 1:30 a.m. and 3:30 a.m.
Seven of the Wounded police are reportedly admitted to hospital in the two and many of them are said to be life-threatening.
Hand grenades, individual assault rifles and group assault rifles, like machine guns, were used in the operation.
Arsenal in the second police station was broken and dozens of rifles were taken.
North Wollo is one of the areas of the Amhara region where Fano forces are extensively operating.
According to an Ethio News report, Professor Asrat Woldeyes Division the Amhara Fano took responsibility for the attack. It vowed that it will continue to target military and political institutions in the area.
The Fano forces also confirmed that they seized assault rifles including group assault rifles.
There have been recurring similar attacks in Wolida city in the past ten or so months. In November 2023, Fano forces targeted the prison facility in the city and reportedly freed over 600 inmates. And last month, the Fano forces attacked the residences and offices of top political officials in the city.
The Ethiopian Defense Force or the Federal government Ministry of Communications Services did not remark about the latest attack in Woldia city at the time of this writing.
In a similar development, there was a reported heavy fighting in the central Gondar area of Ethiopia , near Chorka locality. As many as 31 government forces are reportedly killed in Fano’s guerrilla operations in the region and 11 of them captured. 27 group and individual assault rifles were seized.
Government recurring mobilizations and massive deployment of forces to the Amhara region of Ethiopia with the intent to quash Fano forces is evidently failing. It has been nearly one year since the government launched a military operation in the Amhara region with a state objective of Fano Forces.
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed made two trips to the region in the past two months to inaugurate projects. The latest one of Gorgora resort which the Prime Minister attempted to use to demonstrate that his government’s objective is “development” and that his government has been misunderstood.
Ethnic Amharas have been subjected to worsening massacres and abductions in many parts of the country, particularly in the Oromia region of Ethiopia, since Abiy Ahmed came to power in 2018. Fano movement describes itself as a movement to reverse existential threat against the Amhara people.

This is Af-Mishaar speaking, the only expert in foreign policy for the Horn of Africa.
Ethiopia, you’re toast! The plan of attack to wipe you clean of the map is ready hot off the print room in Al-Qahirah. 500 brigade strong mechanized corps of Piccolo Roma will start the assault on your northern front today at 18.00MMT(Mogadishu Mean Time). The almighty combined air forces of Somalia and Piccolo Roma will start flying 3,000 sorties to destroy your garrisons scattered all over the country. Then these opening raids both from the north and south will be followed by sweep up operation by a 250,000 man strong Somali and 200,00 strong Egyptian armies backed by special forces from Turkey. The liberation of Ethiopia from the clutches of Oromos and Amharas has begun(Boy, I hate these two people with fervor). At the end of this operation there will be no Amharas and Oromos left alive in the country. Then Somalia will regain the territories it lost to the invading army of Menelik, Haile, Milton Obote and Britain in 1948. I will be there in person to raise the flag of my beloved Somalia both at eastern and western banks of the Awash River. Then the new Ethiopia now devoid of Amharas and Oromos will be made to pay the 250 billion in US dollars it owes Piccolo Roma for its invasion at Keren in 1941. The invasion was well documented by historian Mackenzie in which he wrote in detail how Menelik and Halie’s troops massacred 3,456,876 men and women of Piccolo Roma in 1941. That is more than 3 million people.
Ethiopia, you’re toast! You’re done! Kaput!! Bye bye!!! We will never see your face only a mother loves!!! You’re dead lying 6 meters under! You are so hated that even the undertaker refuses to bury you. Good riddance!!!
This is Af-Mishaar the P-o-t-t-y mouthed, your mentor and the only expert in the foreign affairs for the Horn of Africa educating you once again.
Those who refused to use my foreign policy manual have gone belly up. My cousin Hassan Sheikh Mohamud chose to use the manual I gave him and you can see the results now. Somalia is so peaceful and stable that you can hear a pin drop. It took him only a week to wipe out Al-Shabaab after using the handbook I gave him. Btw, do you know that Somalia was the most constitutional democratic country in the world from 1650 all the way to 1991? Who do you think that mediated a peaceful resolution between Khrushchev and President George W Bush during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962? It was my uncle the immortal Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke. Who do you think stopped the war between Morocco and Algeria in 1979? Of course it was my uncle the irreplaceable 5-star General Mohammed Siad Barre. You see there is a lot that you don’t know about my beloved Somalia.
For now, your Ethiopia is toast!!! Boy, I hate Oromos and Amharas with passion.
He Af-Mishaar! Why do you hate Amharas and Oromos so much? They are black folks just like you.
Don’t you dare call or classify me and my Somalis as blacks. We are not blacks. We are Arabs. Look at our genealogy.
