Two young civilians were killed in a sudden armed clash between the Ethiopian National Defense Forces and Fano militants in Northern Wollo, Raya Kobo, specifically on Gobeye Street. The unexpected shootout broke out without warning, once again putting ordinary lives at risk amid an escalating conflict.
This tragic incident is part of a growing pattern in which clashes between federal forces and armed groups are leading to civilian deaths and widespread fear. The violence is disrupting daily life, displacing families, and deepening mistrust in affected areas.
Ambassador Media blames both sides for failing to protect civilians and allowing armed conflict to spill into residential neighborhoods. Civilians are not combatants — yet they continue to bear the brunt of a struggle they did not choose.
As clashes intensify, so does the suffering of ordinary people — especially youth — who are being caught in the crossfire of a conflict they never signed up for. Entire communities are being destabilized while political and military actors pursue confrontation instead of dialogue.
Ambassador Media calls on all armed actors to stop targeting or endangering civilians and instead work toward peaceful solutions. Every life lost in this conflict is a reminder of the urgent need for accountability, restraint, and a return to dialogue.
