Addis Abeba — The East Showa zone administration stated that an ambulance vehicle was burnt down by 'extremist Amhara forces' calling themselves 'Fano'. The ambulance with a total of four passengers was en route from Gursum woreda of the East Hararghe zone to Adama on the 19th of April, 2022, the East Showa zone communications bureau said. The bureau also mentioned that these 'extremist forces' armed with 'large weaponry' are responsible for the killings, and robberies that have been occurring over time. This comes in the backdrop of continued accusations against 'Amhara extremist groups' over the last several weeks. The same armed groups were also implicated in a recent incident where seven trucks allegedly carrying minerals from Tututi kebele in Fentalle woreda of the East Showa zone were seized on their way to the Afar region.
