The armed conflict in the Amhara region of Ethiopia has intensified in recent months. The immediate cause of the conflict was the Ethiopian government’s decision to dissolve regional special police forces. Since then, the Amhara region has been engulfed in conflict and violence, with regular clashes between government forces and the Fano militias. The conflict has claimed the lives of many civilians, and there have been reports of human rights abuses.
