In a military briefing issued on March 3, 2026, the Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF) East Command announced that 'coordinated operations' had been carried out across the border areas of North Gojjam, West Gojjam, Awi Zone, and Central Gonder. The military reported that 203 members of what it described as an 'extremist group' were neutralized, with 135 killed and 68 wounded. The army also claimed the seizure of dozens of firearms, including machine guns and grenades. This report follows a February 14, 2026, statement by the Amhara Fano National Movement (AFNM) which declared a 'victory in Gonder.' Analysts suggest that the scale of casualties and the spread of these engagements underscore a war that remains structurally intact despite previous government assurances of stabilization. Meanwhile, regional media reported devastating looting and infrastructure destruction in Delgi town following recent incursions.
