Government troops went door-to-door killing dozens of civilians in Merawi , residents say.
The bloodshed took place after clashes with militia in the country’s Amhara region.
It is one of the deadliest episodes in the region since a rebellion by Fano erupted last year over a disputed plan to disarm regional forces.
The Fano fought alongside Ethiopia 's federal military in the two-year civil war against the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF).
Aid workers say the insecurity is impeding the delivery of humanitarian food in the region, where the federal ombudsman says dozens of people have starved to death recently amid a heavy drought and the after-effects of the Tigray war, which spilled into Amhara . Hundreds more starvation deaths have been reported in Tigray . Regional Amhara forces including the Fano are themselves accused of waging a bloody ethnic cleansing campaign since November 2020 in western Tigray , an area they claim as their own and moved to annex during the war against the TPLF . The Ethiopian government could not be reached for comment..
