The conflict in Ethiopia’s Amhara region between the government forces and a militia has taken a devastating toll on civilians, with reports emerging of multiple deaths and numerous injuries. Xavier Joubert, Save the Children's country director for Ethiopia, emphasized the pressing need for humanitarian intervention, saying the escalating conflict in the Amhara region is putting the lives of families and children at grave risk. As the violence continues to escalate, the situation remains dire for civilians in the Amhara region. The fighting in the Amhara region involves the Ethiopian National Defense Forces (ENDF) and the Fano militia. The order aimed to merge security forces from Ethiopia's 11 regions into the federal forces, but it resulted in violent protests in Amhara.
