Fano Resistance Update From The Amhara Region
Fano forces (file/SM)BorkenaToronto – No signs indicate an end to the fighting between Fano forces and government troops in the Amhara region of Ethiopia. In the Jawi area, Fano forces claim victory.

In a video released this week, Zemene Kassie, leader of Fano forces in Gojjam, is seen confirming the development. Activists based in the diaspora are expressing the strong view that negotiation at this point is not in the interest of the Fano/ Amhara cause.

How Ethiopia’s quarrel with Somalia could destabilise Horn of Africa
Spread the loveNAIROBI, – Ethiopia’s deal to lease a port in Somalia’s breakaway region of Somaliland has infuriated the government in Mogadishu and prompted concern it will further destabilise the Horn of Africa region. Somalia has responded by calling the deal an act of agression and says it will block it. Given chronic instability in Somalia, Ethiopia and Sudan as well as the Horn of Africa’s strategic location across the Red Sea from the Gulf, some analysts fear the dispute could draw in outside actors if it escalates. So far, no country has publicly backed the port deal. The Arab League, of which Somalia is a member, reaffirmed its support for Somalia’s sovereignty over Somaliland, as did the African Union, European Union and United States.

Son’s request for Star of David necklace a ‘changing moment’ for Mazi Pilip
People are very motivated, very much engaged and I’m getting a lot of the support from the community from the 3rd Congressional District,” Pilip told JNS. “People texting me, emailing me, messaging me on Instagram,” added Pilip, whom the Republican Jewish Coalition endorsed in December. A beautiful country,” Pilip told JNS. The district, N.Y.-3, includes a large Jewish population, and Pilip is finding the Jewish state is important for many non-Jews, too. “The vicious attack on Israel on Oct. 7 should really open our eyes, and we should be concerned because Hamas has supporters here in the United States,” Pilip said.
