The Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC) claimed on Tuesday that federal security forces have killed at least 45 civilians in Ethiopia’s Amhara region. The independent state body also alleged that the civilians had been killed for being supposedly affiliated with the ethnic Amhara armed group known as Fano. Fano emerged as a resistance group in 2015, claiming to fight against the alleged genocide happening against the Amhara people. After the end of the civil war with TPLF, the government headed by Ethiopian President Abiy Ahmed failed to continue their alliance with Fano. The US also called for an investigation into the alleged murder of civilians in the Amhara region on Friday.
