AMHARA REGION — Breaking reports from humanitarian observers and local advocacy groups on February 9, 2026, detail a major government offensive aimed at neutralizing Fano resistance strongholds. The 11th Command of the federal forces, alongside the Republican Guard, has reportedly launched high-intensity operations in the Wogedi District and South Wollo Zone. Witnesses report the use of BM rocket launchers and drone strikes, with unconfirmed reports of over 100 civilian fatalities in the past week. Concurrently, a total telecommunications and internet shutdown has been enforced in North Shewa and East Gojjam, hindering the flow of information and aid. The Amhara Fano National Movement (AFNM) has condemned the actions as 'state-sponsored ethnic cleansing,' while the federal government maintains its operations are necessary to restore constitutional order and stop 'armed bandits' from disrupting regional stability. The international community, including the African Union, has been urged to intervene as the humanitarian crisis deepens and displaced populations grow.
