The General Directorate of the State of Emergency, a structure put in place when the state of emergency was declared, confirmed last Thursday the recovery of peaceful conditions in Bahir Dar, Debre Markos, Debre Birhan, Lalibela, Gonder and Shewa Robit. The armed groups in Fano were offered the opportunity to surrender and hand over their weapons to the national security forces, however, they rejected the proposal and chose violence. According to the report, the population in general rejected the vandalism and insecurity last week and supported the government troops, the latter concentrated on capturing the members of the group described as extremist and restoring citizens’ peace. mh/abo/mem/nmr
