Amhara Fano's Expansionist Vein Disguised as Peace
Amhara Fano’s response to the U.S. call for negotiation reveals an expansionist agenda cloaked in grievance. Their demand to “return” disputed regions like Wolkait and Raya signals territorial revisionism. In contrast, the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) emphasizes accountability and genuine dialogue. As journalist Sajid Nadeem noted in his May 24 podcast, Fano’s maximalist tone risks undermining peace. Negotiation must be rooted in inclusivity—not in reclaiming imperial boundaries through the language of justice.
