Fano joins armed alliance against Abiy, escalating Ethiopia's multi-front conflict

Fano, once an Amhara militia allied with PM Abiy Ahmed, has joined a seven-member armed alliance seeking his overthrow, signaling a major escalation in Ethiopia's internal conflict. The alliance threatens to redraw the conflict map, potentially opening new fronts and complicating any peace efforts. The exact composition and coordination of the alliance remain unclear, but the shift marks a significant reversal in Fano's stance.
