Fano Insurgency and Government Crackdown

Fano's decentralized insurgency disrupts 2026 elections. Government responds with extrajudicial killings (three men killed in Gurage zone under custody), media crackdown (Addis Standard), propaganda. Defendants in Amhara terrorism case reject conditional pardon—some accept guilt, others refuse, signaling state pressure. NAMA accuses National Dialogue commissioners of bias, deepening legitimacy crisis. OLA/OLF-Shane aligns with federal forces against Fano in Oromia.
