Let’s examine what it truly takes to make FANO UNITE.

Historical Background and Context

Origins of the Fano Movement

The origins of the Fano movement can be traced deep into Ethiopia’s past, where the Fano began not as an official organization, but as a symbol of resistance. Early accounts, such as those detailed by Martin Plaut, show that the Fano started around 1896 as decentralized, local militias who bravely defended their lands against foreign incursions. The term ‘Fano’ itself, according to The Africa Report, is often translated as “freedom fighter.” Over time, it grew into a broader cultural identity, celebrated for representing youth resistance against oppression and injustice. By the 1930s, with the Italian invasion of Ethiopia, the Fano label was cemented as a badge of fierce patriotism and communal self-defense—especially in the Amhara heartland. As Modern Diplomacy and historical journals note, Fano’s roots are not just military, but also cultural, rooted in longstanding traditions of communal defense and the legendary spirit of Amhara warriors.

Anti-Fascist Resistance: Precursors to Fano

The anti-fascist resistance in Ethiopia, especially during the 1930s and 1940s, is a key precursor to the modern Fano. When Mussolini’s fascist Italy invaded Ethiopia in 1935, resistance surged across the country, but the Amhara region became a major stronghold. During this time, groups like the Arbegnoch (patriots) led guerilla campaigns, giving birth to the label “Fano” for those local fighters who took up arms against fascists. Articles from Borkena and research shared on Martin Plaut’s site emphasize a clear line from those early antifascist guerillas to today’s movement. These forerunners to Fano organized secret networks, mobilized civilians, and became symbols for later generations. The anti-Italian campaigns didn’t just influence Fano’s armed tactics—they also inspired the passionate sense of justice and sacrifice that is still celebrated by Amhara communities today.

Evolution of the Amhara Struggle

The evolution of the Amhara struggle is a journey from traditional resistance to modern grassroots militancy. According to sources like The Conversation and ACLED, what began as sporadic clashes—rooted in local grievances and pride—has transformed since the 20th century into a larger nationalist movement. The Amhara have faced exclusion and marginalization throughout Ethiopia’s turbulent political shifts, including during the Derg era and the dominance of other ethnic-based parties. In recent years, especially after 2018, Fano’s role has shifted from cultural defender to militant group, confronting what it sees as existential threats to Amhara identity. Today, the struggle is both about defending the community from violence and fighting for fair political representation. The transformation is not just a story of conflict, but one of resilience, identity, and a never-ending quest for justice within Ethiopia’s complex landscape.

Bottom-Up Organization vs. Traditional Top-Down Rebel Groups

The contemporary structure of Fano is most famous for its bottom-up organization. Unlike traditional rebel movements that are run by a strict hierarchy or a central command, Fano operates as a patchwork of local groups, each with its own leaders. This bottom-up structure allows Fano to stay nimble and locally responsive but also means that there is no single chain of command. Many analysts, including recent research from Rift Valley Institute and Zehabesha, highlight that this lack of centralized direction makes Fano both flexible and unpredictable. In contrast, traditional top-down rebel groups usually enforce unity, discipline, and quickly relay orders from leaders to fighters. Fano, however, relies on a culture of local decision-making. Fighters are strongly connected to their home communities and can shift tactics quickly. While this gives Fano substantial grassroots power, it also makes long-term unification and coordinated strategy much harder.

Regional Fragmentation and Local Leadership

Regional fragmentation is a key feature of Fano today. Each region—for example, Gojjam, Gondar, Wollo, or Shewa—often has its own command, priorities, and style. Local leadership is central because Fano units draw deep trust from their own neighborhoods. Many sources, such as DNE Africa and Borkena, point out that decisions are not handed down from a leader above but made after discussions among local commanders. These leaders are close to the people and directly feel the effects of government action or community needs. But this very closeness also means that different parts of the Amhara region sometimes compete or disagree with each other. Fragmentation often leads to parallel commands and even occasional rivalry among Fano groups in different locations. This regional focus can be a strength when defending local communities, but it also becomes a serious challenge for any united military or political effort.

The Formation of the Amhara Fano National Force (AFANF)

The formation of the Amhara Fano National Force (AFANF) in 2025 is a major turn in Fano’s evolution. After years of calls for unity and outcry over constant fragmentation, leading figures within the movement pushed for a new umbrella structure. The AFANF aims to bring together the scattered Fano factions under one operational and political command. Several recent reports on Zehabesha and Shafaqna describe AFANF as a response to urgent needs on the ground—especially when government forces threatened to defeat locally isolated Fano factions one by one. The AFANF is still young, and its leadership describes the operation as “collective”, emphasizing shared decision-making instead of a single, top-down boss. This collective leadership model tries to balance Fano’s tradition of local autonomy with the need for organized national command. While not all sub-groups have yet joined AFANF, its creation marks a serious step toward unification and a new chapter for the movement.

Key Figures in Unified Command

Key figures in the unified command of AFANF are now recognized across the Amhara region. Zemene Kassie, for example, is one of the most trusted and well-known Fano leaders, particularly from Gojjam. He is famous for his charisma and front-line leadership, with a reputation for literary and community involvement as well. Other influential figures reportedly include Asres Mare and regional commanders from Gondar and Wollo. The first 13-person executive committee is said to blend experienced fighters with politically savvy leaders. Together, these individuals represent the first real attempt to coordinate strategy, public messaging, and defense for all Fano factions. While the command is still developing, having widely respected leaders at the table is expected to help bridge old divisions and inspire confidence among rank-and-file members. If these key figures succeed, it could mark the beginning of a much stronger and more united Amhara defense force.

Calls for Cohesive Leadership

Calls for cohesive leadership in the Fano movement have grown louder as disunity continues to hamper the effectiveness and impact of the struggle. Many community elders, activists, and Amhara Fano supporters stress that minor disputes and lack of coordination only weaken the movement. Without clear, united leadership, the Fano often struggles to send a unified message to the world and their own people, making it hard to gain international support or local trust. Articles from leading platforms regularly remind Fano that forming a central command or council is not just about discipline, but about building credibility and capacity to defend the Amhara community during these challenging times.

The Role of Zemene Kassie and Influential Leaders

The role of Zemene Kassie and other influential leaders is central to the unification efforts in the Amhara Fano movement. As the most prominent Fano commander in Gojjam, Zemene Kassie has consistently called for unity among Fano factions, urging them to set aside their differences for the greater Amhara cause. His leadership style, marked by strategic thinking, resilience, and public advocacy, makes him a rallying figure. However, other notable leaders such as Desalegn Siyasbshewa (Shewa) and Habte Wolde (Gondar) also hold significant regional influence and followers. The cooperation and joint vision of these leaders are seen as a crucial step toward establishing a strong, unified command that can steer the movement more effectively.

Addressing Internal Divisions and Power Struggles

Addressing internal divisions and power struggles is a key challenge facing the Amhara Fano movement. Various reports highlight that the decentralized nature of Fano has allowed for local autonomy, but this has fueled rivalry and disagreements over leadership and strategy. Attempts to hold internal “elections” or select leaders without broad consensus have risked further splitting the resistance. Some factions even compete for resources or territory, weakening their stance against common adversaries. Discussions in Fano-supporting communities and among intellectuals repeatedly point out that only by actively managing these internal disputes—through dialogue, compromise, and shared goals—can Fano avoid deepening confusion and decreased effectiveness.

Risks of Zone-Based Fragmentation

Risks of zone-based fragmentation within the Fano movement are substantial. When Fano groups stay loyal only to their local or zonal commanders, unity across the broader Amhara struggle is lost. These divisions can lead to duplicate efforts, resource wastage, and even clashes among Fano themselves. Human rights observers and analysts warn that zone-based fragmentation weakens the movement’s bargaining power with the federal government and reduces their ability to protect civilians. There are also risks of increased banditry, extortion, and lawlessness when there is no respected central authority. Ultimately, such fragmentation endangers the core goal of Amhara self-preservation and undermines any hope for coordinated defense or political negotiation.

Unity under one leadership is the first step for Fano to move from local resistance to regional impact, and everyone in the movement must see it as a shared, urgent mission.

Benefits of a Unified Leadership Structure

Strengthened Defense and Security Operations

Strengthened defense and security operations are one of the most important results of having a unified leadership structure within Fano. When all groups work under a single command, strategies can be planned in a coordinated and organized way. Unified leadership helps to avoid confusion and mixed signals during conflicts or emergencies. Instead of scattered responses, Fano forces can act as a single, strong unit. For example, sharing intelligence, planning joint operations, and setting up clear communication lines become much easier. This can seriously boost their defense against external threats and improve the safety of the Amhara region. With a clear chain of command, mistakes are reduced and decisions can be made faster, which is crucial during critical moments.

Enhanced Negotiating Power and Political Representation

Enhanced negotiating power and political representation are also major advantages of a unified Fano movement under one leadership. When Fano speaks with one voice, its demands hold more weight both nationally and internationally. Authorities and mediators are more likely to take them seriously, which increases their chance of securing political concessions. Unified leadership can also help the group gain more seats in dialogues or peace talks, ensuring that the interests of the Amhara people are better protected. This kind of political unity makes it difficult for opponents to divide the group or play different factions against each other. As a result, the movement has a much stronger influence in shaping policies and decisions that affect their region.

Improved Resource Allocation and Coordination

Improved resource allocation and coordination come naturally with a single leadership structure. If Fano is united, there is less risk of wasting resources or having groups compete for supplies and donations. Centralized planning allows all teams to get what they need, when they need it. Medicines, food, and equipment can be sent to areas that are most in need, making operations smooth and efficient. Joint training sessions, logistics support, and financial management become much simpler when everyone is part of the same system. This helps reduce corruption, prevents duplication of efforts, and maximizes the impact of every contribution—whether it comes from within Ethiopia or from the diaspora.

Greater Community Trust and Morale

Greater community trust and morale are built more easily when Fano presents itself as a united movement with strong and focused leadership. The Amhara people are more likely to support and participate in an organization that shows clear purpose and stability. Community members can feel more confident about volunteering, donating, or cooperating with Fano if they see that everyone is on the same page. Unity also brings hope and pride, boosting morale among fighters and civilians alike. Stories of success and progress are much more likely to inspire and motivate when they come from a reliable, well-organized group. With trustworthy leadership in place, rumors, fear, and confusion can be reduced, making the social fabric stronger and more resilient.

Challenges and Risks in Achieving Unity

Ideological and Strategic Differences Between Factions

Ideological and strategic differences between Fano factions are a serious challenge on the path toward unity. Different groups within Fano often have unique perspectives on the future of the Amhara region and Ethiopia as a whole. Some prioritize local autonomy and ethnic rights, while others focus on a broader national political agenda. These diverging goals can make joint decision-making difficult and sometimes lead to disputes over tactics, targets, and negotiation strategies. Creating a common vision and finding middle ground between these varying views is essential, but it takes time, patience, and open dialogue. Without real collaboration, splits can deepen, weakening the overall effectiveness of the Amhara Fano National Force (AFANF).

External Political Pressures and Alliances

External political pressures and alliances create another set of risks that can undermine Fano unity. The Amhara Fano movement operates in an environment shaped by national politics, shifting military alliances, and the interests of neighboring regions. External actors—such as political parties, the federal government, and even international entities—sometimes attempt to influence or manipulate Fano leaders for their own agendas. These outside influences can encourage division by offering support to specific factions or leaders, which may lead to further fragmentation. Navigating these alliances carefully is crucial to prevent outside forces from driving wedges within the movement.

Managing Historical Grievances and Mistrust

Managing historical grievances and mistrust among various Fano factions is one of the toughest obstacles for long-term unity. Many fighters and leaders have personal stories of betrayal or accusations of unfairness from previous collaborations. Distrust can linger over issues such as resource control, acknowledgment of sacrifices, or leadership roles in past campaigns. Some factions, remembering earlier disputes or failed mergers, fear repeating the past. Healing these old wounds requires honest communication, fair representation, and public gestures of reconciliation. If old grievances are ignored, they can quickly resurface and disrupt any unity efforts.

Potential for Renewed Internal Conflict

Potential for renewed internal conflict is a real danger in Fano’s struggle for unity. If disagreements about ideology, leadership, or strategy spin out of control, they can result in open clashes between factions. Infighting has already hurt similar movements in Ethiopia’s history, leading to lost momentum and opening vulnerabilities to external enemies. To prevent this, AFANF needs clear conflict resolution procedures and strong leadership that listens to the base. Otherwise, small disputes may escalate, damaging the movement’s reputation among the Amhara people and undermining its fight for rights and protection. For unity to last, differences must be settled peacefully and inclusively.

Building a Common Manifesto and Political Agenda

Building a common manifesto and political agenda is a top priority for the Fano movement’s unification. A unified manifesto lays out the vision, mission, and clear direction the group wants to take. This helps establish trust with the public and other groups, ensuring everyone knows the cause and what the Fano movement stands for. Recent discussions highlight the need for a political agenda that addresses the security and rights of the Amhara people, as well as broader democratic reforms in Ethiopia.

To develop this manifesto, leaders and members should come together to define core values, outline short and long-term goals, and create a plan of action. The process must involve input from all major Fano factions, local community representatives, elders, and intellectuals. The manifesto should not only focus on resistance but also offer hope for reconstruction, safe governance, and social justice. Open forums, committees, and feedback sessions are great ways to collect suggestions and secure buy-in from all stakeholders. A strong, clear manifesto gives the movement direction and energy.

Fostering Inclusive and Transparent Leadership

Fostering inclusive and transparent leadership is essential for the Fano movement to build legitimacy and internal stability. Inclusive leadership means all subgroups within Fano have a voice and role in decision-making. Leadership should reflect the diversity of the Amhara region and should not be dominated by one clique or zone. Making leadership roles accessible encourages broad participation, which reduces resentment and builds collective confidence.

Transparent leadership builds trust between leaders and followers. Important decisions need open discussions and clear explanations. Regular updates on strategies, resources, and potential alliances should be shared openly. This transparency helps prevent rumors and suspicion. Joint leadership councils, advisory boards with regional representatives, and public town-hall meetings can promote openness and inclusion. When members see their ideas and concerns reflected in Fano’s direction, unity becomes much stronger.

Conflict Resolution Mechanisms Among Factions

Conflict resolution mechanisms are crucial to prevent splits and infighting among different Fano factions. Disagreements are normal, but without good systems to manage them, divisions can worsen and threaten the whole cause. There are proven ways to handle internal disputes:

• Establish clear channels for communication where grievances can be voiced safely.
• Create a neutral mediation or conflict resolution committee that includes respected elders or impartial outsiders.
• Develop protocols for power-sharing and rotating leadership between zones and groups.
• Use negotiation and compromise to resolve issues, rather than letting winners take all.

Learning from other resistance movements, regular peace-building workshops, team-building exercises, and even formal written agreements between groups help maintain focus and reduce harmful rivalry. The movement should promote a culture of dialogue, where every faction feels heard and valued, even when they disagree.

Engaging Regional and International Partners

Engaging regional and international partners is vital for the Fano movement’s survival and success. Recognition and support from neighbors, the African Union, UN agencies, and other global bodies bring needed attention to Amhara grievances and the legitimacy of Fano’s claims. International partners can offer training, humanitarian aid, diplomatic backing, or help to mediate future negotiations with the Ethiopian government.

To do this well, Fano needs skilled spokespersons who can clearly explain their cause, goals, and code of conduct to the world. Building alliances with rights groups, diaspora communities, and neutral mediators strengthens Fano’s position. Transparency in engagement is critical so regional partners see Fano as a responsible actor and not just another militia. This can also open doors for negotiations and future political inclusion.

By working on these strategic recommendations, the Fano movement can move closer to unity, greater influence, and long-term success for the Amhara people 🌟.

The Impact on Amhara Civil Society and Economy

The impact of Fano unity on Amhara civil society is felt deeply, with many people expressing strong support for the movement. Fano unity energizes local communities, making them feel a renewed sense of identity and purpose. Many view Fano as protectors who defend the rights, security, and very existence of the Amhara people. This shared vision helps create solidarity among Amhara youth, elders, and civil society organizations.

Economically, the ongoing instability linked to Fano activities poses both challenges and hopes for positive change. Frequent clashes with government forces and competing factions have disrupted farming, trading, and daily work. Markets are sometimes shut, transport is dangerous, and families are forced to move. Local businesses often face extra costs or see their earnings drop in tense areas. However, if Fano becomes unified and brings stability, many believe it could help rebuild broken infrastructure and revive the economy. With unity, Fano could negotiate for better regional support and investment, improving education, health, and job creation in Amhara.

Representation in National Politics

Representation in national politics is one of the main goals for a unified Fano force. A strong, united Fano gives the Amhara people a real voice in the country’s decisions. When divided, the movement struggles to influence the government or national policy. But a single leadership can develop clear political messages and push Amhara interests in parliament and national dialogues.

Fano’s presence signals that Amhara will not accept being ignored in political matters. Their organization has already challenged powerful groups and demanded changes in Ethiopia’s constitution, identity politics, and power-sharing arrangements. If Fano speaks as one, politicians must listen or face strong resistance. Many Amhara citizens hope that Fano unity will bring justice and equal rights—not just for fighters, but for all Amhara people in Ethiopia.

Effects on Regional Stability and Security

Effects of Fano unity on regional stability and security are complex and far-reaching. Unified command can prevent internal violence between Amhara factions and discourage lawlessness in the region. This stability could allow people to return to normal life, travel safely, and rebuild their communities.

Yet, a united Fano can also alarm neighboring regions and the central government. Some fear that stronger Fano forces might lead to new ethnic rivalries or border clashes, especially with groups in Tigray or Oromia. Fano’s mobilization has already increased tensions in these areas, highlighting the need for careful and peaceful strategies.

Despite risks, a disciplined, united Fano can be a force for peace if it prioritizes negotiation and works with other ethnic groups. Many believe that unity is needed not just for winning battles, but for winning lasting peace and security. Amhara’s stability is linked tightly with the future of Ethiopia—what happens with Fano will shape the whole country’s path forward.

Coalition Experiences in Ethiopian History

Coalition experiences in Ethiopian history are full of dramatic alliances and shifting partnerships. During the long Ethiopian Civil War, the Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) stood out as a successful coalition. It was a front made up of several powerful rebel groups, such as the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), Amhara Democratic Party (ADP), and Oromo Democratic Party (ODP), along with partners from the south. These groups were often rivals, but they managed to unite against a common enemy: the Derg regime, which was known for its harsh military rule.

Unity among Ethiopian rebel groups usually happened out of necessity. Whenever a government or strong regime oppressed many groups, different regions and identities found common ground. This was also seen in the cooperation between the TPLF and the Eritrean People’s Liberation Front (EPLF) during their fight against the Derg. Even with big differences in their long-term goals—Eritrean independence vs. a reformed Ethiopia—they worked together for survival and victory.

Other alliances, like short-term pacts between Amhara and Tigrayan forces against shared adversaries, remind us that alliances are sometimes less about deep friendship and more about convenience and mutual goals. Yet, after victory, differences often returned and led to new divides.

These coalition experiences teach an important lesson. Temporary unity is possible, and sometimes crucial, for overcoming a powerful opponent. However, lasting unity requires shared vision, agreed strategies, and trust-building—without these, a coalition quickly falls apart once external threats are reduced.

Comparative Insights from Other National Movements

Comparing Ethiopian coalitions to other national movements around the world gives great insight into what works. Big lessons come from places like South Africa, Palestine, India, and Latin American liberation fronts.

One of the major principles is the power of unity. Successful movements, such as the African National Congress (ANC) against apartheid in South Africa, built broad alliances across ethnic and political lines. The ANC, for example, included communists, nationalists, trade unions, and church groups. This inclusivity gave it strength and legitimacy, both at home and abroad.

Another key lesson from global resistance is discipline and planning. Movements that succeeded, like the Viet Minh in Vietnam or the Sandinistas in Nicaragua, balanced military action with political organization and social support. They set clear goals, kept discipline, and created strong communication channels among different branches of their struggle.

Some movements also show the dangers of internal division. Palestinian liberation is often weakened by splits between groups like Fatah and Hamas. The Zimbabwean anti-colonial struggle, which had ZANU and ZAPU, also suffered from infighting. These examples warn that division can destroy even a just cause if not managed with negotiation and inclusive leadership.

Finally, the idea of a shared manifesto or vision is powerful. Many successful movements insist on agreement about major aims and basic principles. This keeps different factions together, at least until victory is in hand.

In summary: Lessons from both Ethiopian history and other resistance movements around the world prove that unity—built on shared interest, clear goals, inclusivity, and good internal discipline—can overcome enormous odds. But unity must be actively maintained, or it can fall apart at the worst moment. This is a key lesson for contemporary movements like Fano as they seek a future built on common struggle.

Short-Term and Long-Term Goals for AFANF

Short-term goals for the Amhara Fano National Force (AFANF) focus on immediate security and survival. These include defending Amhara civilians, reclaiming and protecting contested territories, responding quickly to attacks, and strengthening defensive capabilities. There is also a push to provide basic order and stabilize areas affected by violence (see Zehabesha.com and Borkena.com). In practice, this means setting up rapid response teams, information-sharing networks, and working closely with communities to build trust.

Long-term goals for AFANF look beyond immediate threats. The most important aim is to create a secure and prosperous Amhara region where people can live in peace. AFANF wants to establish a recognized and legitimate political and governance system for Amhara, seeking autonomy within a united Ethiopia. This includes building robust institutions for self-governance, maintaining the cultural and territorial integrity of the Amhara people, and gaining national and international recognition. AFANF’s vision also includes developing a sustainable defense force that operates under established codes and legal frameworks to ensure accountability.

Community Engagement and Grassroots Support

Community engagement is at the heart of Fano’s strength. The movement draws its legitimacy and energy from local people, making grassroots support a driving force. AFANF and Fano groups use community forums, local leadership structures, and village assemblies to gather feedback and mobilize resources. They encourage local involvement in logistical support, information sharing, and even volunteer defense.

Grassroots support also means responding to social and economic needs. This is done by helping families displaced by conflict, supporting education for children, and undertaking community projects. Fano groups rely heavily on local leaders, religious figures, youth associations, and women’s groups to build a united front. Promoting regular dialogue keeps the movement connected to the population, ensuring that strategies reflect the communities’ true priorities. Increased transparency about decisions is crucial for keeping community trust high.

Monitoring, Accountability, and Governance Structures

Monitoring and accountability mechanisms are essential for a sustainable and respected AFANF. All successful grassroots and rebel movements must have clear rules of conduct, transparent leadership, and ways to resolve internal conflicts. For Fano and AFANF, this means developing “accountability-first pacts,” as suggested in recent reports (Borkena.com), where leaders and fighters agree on strict codes of behavior and consequences for violations.

Establishing governance structures is also important. Effective committees for finance, logistics, security, and justice help run the force efficiently and ethically. There should be routine public reports on actions taken, funds raised and spent, and challenges faced. These efforts build trust both internally among members and externally with communities and allies.

Regular monitoring of actions and policies is key for learning, making improvements, and catching mistakes early. The creation of independent oversight bodies (including respected elders, religious leaders, and outside observers) further strengthens the legitimacy of AFANF. By building robust governance structures, AFANF ensures its future as a disciplined, transparent, and community-based force.

The Way Ahead for Fano and Amhara

Promoting Peace, Security, and Development

Promoting peace, security, and development is more important than ever for Fano and the wider Amhara community. Fano’s ongoing efforts should focus on reducing violence and encouraging dialogue among all groups within Amhara and in Ethiopia as a whole. Creating stronger communication channels with local residents will help identify security threats early and prevent conflict before it starts.

Development must go hand in hand with peace. When communities feel safe, they can focus on building schools, health centers, and local businesses. By working with non-governmental organizations and government agencies, Fano can help restore normal life, making daily living better for everyone. This approach will not only improve the quality of life but also reduce the risk of renewed violence.

Sustaining Unity Amid Changing Political Landscapes

Sustaining unity is a real challenge for Fano, especially as the political landscape of Ethiopia continues to shift. Leadership must stay clear and united, even when new problems arise. This can be done by maintaining strong internal communication channels and making decisions as a collective, not just a few at the top. It is crucial to make sure every region and local group within Fano feels included and heard.

Adapting to political changes also means working with new government leaders or other community forces in Ethiopia. By staying flexible but firm on core values, Fano can keep its members together through uncertain times. Regular meetings, clear communication, and joint action plans are essential to prevent fragmentation and strife within the group.

Vision for the Future: Stronger Together

The vision for Fano and Amhara is to build a future where unity drives progress. When Fano works together under a shared purpose, the community becomes stronger, more secure, and influential in Ethiopia’s national affairs. The focus should be on inclusive leadership that listens and respects every voice, big or small.

A united Fano means greater opportunities for economic growth, cultural pride, and improved education for young people. Working as one team, Fano can represent Amhara’s interests better, secure peace, and help the region develop. The hope is for a future where Fano is seen not just as a defender, but also as a builder—someone who lays the foundation for lasting harmony and prosperity. By holding onto unity and collaboration, Fano and Amhara can overcome any challenge and rise stronger together.
