Ethiopia Fano TPLF alliance

Ethiopia's old enemies are now teaming up against Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. Amhara's Fano rebels are joining a wider anti-government alliance that includes the TPLF, a powerful group from northern Ethiopia's Tigray region, along with several other armed groups. That is a huge turnaround since Fano and Tigrayan forces fought each other during Ethiopia's brutal 2020-2022 war. Now they share one priority: putting pressure on Abiy's government. Fano has been gaining ground in Amhara while tensions in Tigray are heating up again. They still have serious disputes between themselves but for now Abiy is the bigger problem.
