Despite the gravity of the situation, his speech revealed a profound bias and a troubling dismissal of the Amhara Fanos. Contrastingly, his reference to the Amhara Fanos was starkly dismissive, labeling them merely as “those fighting in Amhara, those that call themselves the Fano.” Such a characterization not only undermines the legitimacy of the Amhara Fanos but also trivializes their cause and the sacrifices they have made. Ambassador Massinga must understand that this narrative falsely portraying the Amhara Fanos as instigators rather than victims perpetuates a grave injustice. By diminishing the significance of the Amhara Fanos, who represent a robust resistance movement with substantial support from the Amhara people, Ambassador Massinga commits a severe oversight. To truly engage with Amhara Fano, we must start by addressing them appropriately as the Amhara Fanos.
