ETHIOPIA — 🔥 In a one-day battle near Rebu-Gebeya town in Sinan District, Amhara Fano
…originally a youth group/vigilante militia that became active in the 2010s for rampaging against ethnic neighbours on the way to fighting against the then-ruling Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), which had ruled Ethiopia until the previous election, then were very unhappy they were no longer in charge. So they revolted, and for a while it looked like they would win...
fighters clashed with forces loyal to the Abiy Ahmed government.

The fighting reportedly resulted in heavy losses for government forces, with significant weapons and ammunition seized. Dozens of government soldiers were killed and many more surrendered.
