According to health professionals, a drone strike in a town in Ethiopia's Amhara region resulted in the deaths of at least 26 civilians. The attack happened on Sunday in the Amhara region of Ethiopia's West Gojam Zone's centre town of Finote Selam. Amhara militia known as Fano fought alongside federal troops against Tigrayan forces during the two-year war that ended last November in the Tigray region. The commission also said that civilians were subject to beatings and killings in many areas of Bahir Dar, the capital city of the Amhara region. The Ethiopian government announced the arrest of 23 individuals in relation to what it called illegal activities last Friday, 10 days after declaring a state of emergency in Amhara, VOA reported.
