What is Fano
Fano is an ethno-nationalist Amhara militia and former protest movement.
They have engaged in violent clashes throughout Ethiopia against perceived threats to the Amhara people.
Why in news
Ethiopia’s government security forces killed at least 45 civilians in a massacre in Amhara state in late January, the independent state-affiliated Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC) said Tuesday.
A statement said the EHRC had confirmed “the identity of at least 45 civilians who were extrajudicially killed by government security forces” in the town of Merawi for allegedly supporting an ethnic Amhara militia known as Fano.
