Residents report that more than 25 people, including women and children, were killed in an attack in Nono district, West Shewa Zone of the #Oromia region, on 19 October, 2025. Locals have attributed the violence to Fano militants, who have confirmed their presence in the area.
Ibsa Jamal (name changed for security reasons), a resident of Nono district, told Addis Standard that the attackers came from the #Gurage_Zone in the Central Ethiopia region and carried out the raid in Allo Dinki village of the district.
Ibsa said the attack took place on 19 October, describing it as “indiscriminate.” According to him, the militants “crossed from Abishgee district in Gurage Zone on the night of 19 October, moving from house to house and killing elders, children, and pregnant women without sparing anyone.”
The residents told Addis Standard that the area had previously been peaceful and that local security forces were unable to prevent the attack due to the heavily armed nature of the assailants.
Both residents said all those killed were buried on 20 October, 2025, at Muslim cemeteries and the Orthodox Church in Halo Dinki village, Nono district.
Previously, following the July attack, the Fano armed group — which has been fighting federal and regional forces in the Amhara region for the past two years — denied any involvement in the Kondala killings. However, the group acknowledged that its fighters remain active in several parts of Oromia, including West Shewa, where the latest attack took place.

Ethiopian soldiers have begun posting videos of themselves crying on social media as part of a campaign expressing their desire to end the country’s civil wars. Previously, some soldiers openly called for peace online, which led to a harsh crackdown, including executions. Now, many have resorted to silently filming themselves in tears as a more subtle form of protest.

The limits of politics of form (totally devoid of content) is in full display in the contemporary political practice(s) of Ethiopia. Contentless form may be good for the optics of it, but only a robust engagement with the (substantive) content of political issues of the country can bring about meaningful change.

When a village is massacred, humanity weeps. 🕊️ Over 20 innocent lives were taken by Abiy Ahmed’s Fano-backed forces, leaving families shattered. Raise your voice. Demand accountability. @CNN@hrw https://t.co/5IovRHeIGG #EndOromoGenocide
