Fano-ENDF Clashes in Gondar Lead to Urban Displacement
Renewed hostilities between Fano ethnic militias and the Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF) in Gondar city forced 8,500 people to flee their homes in the Azezo sub-city. Local reports indicate that the use of heavy weaponry in residential areas caused significant damage, prompting civilians to seek safety in the surrounding mountains and rural churches. The Ethiopian Human Rights Commission noted that this specific wave of displacement is the largest in the Amhara region since January 2026.
