⚡️Regime joint forces abandon East and West Belessa (📍Central Gonder Zone, Amhara Region, Ethiopia) as Fano launches coordinated offensives and takes operational control of both woredas.
🔵 On September 24th, Fano units under the Begemidir, General Fanta Belay, Etege Taytu, Nisir-Belessa, and Mebreq Divisions (AFNM-BC) launched coordinated offensives against regime joint forces across East Dembiya, East Belessa, West Belessa, and surrounding areas.
🔵 In East Dembiya Woreda, Fano launched a morning offensive against a regime military encampment at Jangua Kebele, reportedly inflicting heavy personnel and materiel losses on the garrison. Concurrently, Fano attacked regime positions in Guhala Town, East Belessa, forcing troops to withdraw toward Arbaya Town in West Belessa.
🔵 Fano forces pursued the retreating units toward Gonder City, ambushing a military transport convoy at Qalay-Medhanealem Kebele, where a heavy military truck was destroyed and substantial casualties were reported. A subsequent attack on regime positions in Degoma Town reportedly inflicted further losses.
🔵 Following the offensives, regime troops, militia, police, and civil administrators reportedly abandoned both East Belessa and West Belessa Woredas and withdrew to Maksegnit Town. Fano subsequently established operational control over both woredas, according to reports from the area.

Journalists are not enemies of the state. They are pillars of democracy.
Free Gobeze Sisay, Meskerem Abera, Genet Asmamaw, Dawit Begashaw, and Abay Zewdu, detained for years for doing their jobs.
End the persecution. Release them now. A government that silences the press silences democracy itself.

URGENT: Seven of the 29 detainees that the regime continue to hold were removed from the detention center they were currently held (Kaliti Prision) to an unknown location. The seven that were taken out include: Dr. Tewodros Hailemariam, Asst. Prof. Sisay Awgichew, Dr. Wondossen Assefa, and Michael Melak and three others of whom names are not disclosed yet.
Recent reports on Amhara detainees (human rights defenders, humanitarian aid volunteers, journalists, and freedom advocates) under great risk of coercion in Ethiopia.

I AM DONE with the mainstream media reducing Ethiopia’s current crisis to “TPLF vs. Abiy Ahmed.”
STOP. THAT. NARRATIVE.
THIS IS NOT TPLF VS. ABIY.
The reality being described by many people is much broader: the whole of Ethiopia is against Abiy Ahmed’s “Oromuma Prosperity Gospel” regime.
Ethiopia is not a f🤬ing political chessboard where millions of dead, displaced, traumatized, and suffering people can be reduced to two names and a convenient headline.
PEOPLE ARE DYING.
While civilians are buried, families are destroyed, and communities are suffering, the international diplomatic and media establishment in Addis Ababa carries on with its comfortable, privileged existence parties, luxury, access, influence and business as usual.
And then they have the fucking nerve to tell the world that Ethiopia’s reality can be understood through one recycled political storyline.
NO.
What is happening in Addis Ababa concerning establishments connected to the Oromuma political circles and involving people associated with international institutions. Investigate them. Verify them. Report them. Don’t bury uncomfortable stories because they disrupt the image of a polished diplomatic capital city.
And stop pretending that questioning this narrative means ignoring abuses by anyone else. Every civilian life matters. Every atrocity deserves scrutiny. Every perpetrator should be accountable.
The media has a responsibility to tell the truth NOT to manufacture a neat narrative that makes Ethiopia easier for outsiders to digest.
THIS IS NOT ENTERTAINMENT.
THIS IS NOT DIPLOMATIC THEATER.
THIS IS NOT “TPLF VS. ABIY.”
PEOPLE ARE DYING.
Stop sanitizing it.
Stop reducing it.
Stop looking away.
REPORT THE FUCKING REALITY.
INVESTIGATE.
VERIFY.
EXPOSE.
AND TELL THE TRUTH.

Here we go again: @Reuters@CNN@AJEnglish@BBCWorld All peddle the same focus, same angles. You'd never know other peoples lived in Ethiopia.
When do Africans shout it once again?
No more biased media.
No more lies.
No more faraway white experts instead of Ethiopians
NO MORE.
@CitizenOfET@Keri_jud You guys were making fun when Amhara girls were being raped, Amhara mothers were suffering, and Amhara villages were being bombed by Abiy’s forces for the last 3 years. አስመሳይ አረመኔ ሁላ!!
@AJEnglish Why is al jazeera always belittling Amhara Fano's struggle? The video shows Fano forces ambushing and decimating the regime forces in Wollo front. Please do better!
BREAKING: A strategic ambush by the AFNM Asaminew 5th Command on the federal highway linking Addis Ababa to Mekelle, specifically along the Shewa Robit to Debre Sina route in the Amhara region has left a military transport vehicle completely destroyed.
The vital logistics corridor, heavily utilized by government forces, faced coordinated attacks, temporarily halting troop and supply movements in the area. Operations along the key route remain active.

This story is exactly why you need a media shaming campaign like the one used for coverage of Gaza.
It has only ONE damn line on fighting in Amhara
It blathers on about just the TPLF
It quotes only ONE actual Ethiopian
It fetches a white dude who's NOT EVEN THERE for comment!
⚡️At least 11 regime soldiers killed and 13 wounded in September 23rd clashes after a Fano counter-offensive repelled a two-pronged regime advance near Addis-Zemen Town, Libo-Kemkem Woreda (📍South Gonder Zone, Amhara Region, Ethiopia).
