But the relationship has soured over what some in the region say is a disregard by the national government for Amhara's security. Spokespeople for Ethiopia's federal government and the Amhara regional administration did not respond to requests for comment on Wednesday. "The fighting continued today on the outskirts of town," the doctor said, adding the road into Debre Tabor was closed. There was also fighting outside the town of Kobo early Tuesday morning, but the situation was calm on Wednesday, two Kobo residents told Reuters. On Tuesday, the state-owned Ethiopian Broadcasting Corporation quoted ENDF spokesperson Colonel Getnet Adane as saying the military would take action against Fano for "disturbing the country’s peace".
