⚡️Around 50 civilian farmers forcibly arrested and conscripted in overnight regime sweep in Raya-Kobo Woreda (📍North Wollo Zone, Amhara Region, Ethiopia).

🔴 On the night of December 30th, extending into the early hours of December 31st, regime forces carried out mass arrests in the Zobel area, detaining approximately 50 civilians, most of them subsistence farmers.

🔴 Those arrested were reportedly registered local militia members but were not actively involved in combat or operations against Fano forces. Sources state the arrests were conducted under the pretext of forcing the detainees to align with the regime and participate in military operations against the Amhara population.

🔴 Following their arrest, the civilians were reportedly transferred to military training facilities for forced conscription, triggering widespread fear, anxiety, and social tension among families and the wider community.
