The Habesha | Addis Ababa / Amhara Region — The Amhara Fano National Movement has announced the formal completion of its organizational formation, unveiling a new leadership and command structure following months of internal dialogue, political consultation, and institutional preparation. In a statement released this week, the movement said its formation is grounded in the principle of building independent internal capacity while safeguarding the collective rights, security, and political existence of the Amhara people within a national democratic framework. The movement described the process as deliberate and structured, aimed at establishing a durable institutional framework rather than ad hoc or personality-driven leadership. Analysts note that the durability of the new structure will depend on its implementation under ongoing political and security pressures in the Amhara region and beyond. The Habesha will continue to monitor developments related to the Amhara Fano National Movement and report on their political and security implications.
