Post uses photo from Ethiopia’s Tigray war to claim rebels recently surrendered in AmharaMisinformation surrounding the ongoing armed conflict in Ethiopia's troubled Amhara region is rife, with supporters of both the government and rebels claiming victories over one another. A photo shared on Facebook allegedly shows Amhara rebels who surrendered to the Ethiopian army. However, this is misleading: the photo shows rebels surrendering, but in the Tigray region during the regional war that ended in 2022. Shewa is a zone in the Amhara region, while Asegid and Meketaw are Fano leaders from the area. However, the photo does not show rebels in the Amhara region who have surrendered to the army.
