Intense clashes between Fano militias and the Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF) occurred on the outskirts of Gondar on March 2, 2026. The use of heavy weaponry in residential zones forced an estimated 10,000 people to flee to neighboring rural districts. Local NGOs reported that the displacement was sudden, with many families leaving behind their belongings as the frontline shifted through several farming communities, as documented by Addis Standard.
