Fano Wogderes Tenaw gave an amazing speech to the 61 captured soldiers yesterday in Sinan District.

The Fano forces,
…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 Abiy Ahmed government was elected a few years ago. Now the Amhara Fano appear to be fighting against the current government…
