In a separate incident following the killing of Balam, a Fano member named Tigest Wedajo was reportedly captured by ENDF forces during a clash between regime forces and Fano in Wollo, Chobi Ber, Amhara Region. After her capture, ENDF troops are accused of severing Tigest's breasts before killing her.

Emperor Haile Selassie's vision of uniting Africa was not a racial project. He sought to unite all Africans—every race—as a free and productive coalition capable of competing and cooperating with Europe, Asia, and the Americas. To reduce the vision to a race-based ideology isn't only a betrayal of Africa's diversity but also an agenda of the continent's disunity and peril, for Africa is not a racial monolith. The substitution of real pan-African values for black nationalism, a racialist ideology like white nationalism, was/is an antithesis of the unity of Africa's nations—north, east, west, and south—as a diverse continent.
