The Ethiopian National Defense Forces (ENDF) have been accused of severe human rights abuses, including indiscriminate drone strikes that have killed thousands of civilians.
Fano, seen by many as a protector of the Amhara people, continues to resist federal forces. Humanitarian aid has been severely disrupted, with several aid workers killed. Fano, emerging from the 2016-2018 protests, is fighting to end the perceived "oppression" of the Amhara. The conflict has caused a humanitarian crisis in the region. While Fano grows, the situation remains unresolved and an end to the conflict is not in sight.
