\/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt has become necessary to declare a state of emergency as a situation has emerged where it has become difficult to control this unacceptable movement under current law,\u201d the office of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said in a statement posted on social media..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The statement did not make clear if the state of emergency applied nationwide or just to Amhara, which lies to the north of the capital Addis Ababa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abiy\u2019s government did not reply immediately to questions from AFP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clashes in Amhara between the national army and local fighters have escalated in recent weeks, prompting travel warnings from foreign governments and the cancellation of flights by the national carrier Ethiopian Airlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tensions have been rising since April when the federal government announced it was dismantling regional forces including in Amhara, where nationalists felt the move would weaken Ethiopia\u2019s second most populous region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Thursday, local authorities in Amhara asked the federal government for assistance managing security as the situation had become \u201cdifficult to control\u201d and was causing social and economic disruption in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The government said the violence \u201cendangered the constitutional order\u201d and the decision to invoke a state of emergency was \u201cunanimous\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amhara\u2019s regional forces and local militias backed the national army in their two-year war against rebels from the neighbouring region of Tigray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That conflict was resolved with a peace deal in November 2022 but Amhara \u201cspecial forces\u201d and fighters from the Fano militia group continue to control Western Tigray, a fertile expanse claimed by both Tigray and Amhara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The peace accord angered nationalist elements in Amhara and tensions escalated in April when Abiy announced the disbanding of regional forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The prime minister said integrating these fighters into the national army or regional police would bolster \u201cunity\u201d in multi-ethnic Ethiopia but the move sparked protests in Amhara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ethiopian army spokesman Getnet Adane told a press conference this week that fighters claiming to belong to Fano were responsible for the violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UK\u2019s Foreign Office has warned its citizens against travelling to certain parts of Amhara, citing \u201cincreased violence in these areas characterised by Fano taking control of these areas\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMost recently Lalibela Airport has been taken over by Fano militias,\u201d it said, referring to a tourist town famous for its UNESCO-listed 12th and 13th century rock-cut churches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Lalibela resident who spoke to AFP on the condition of anonymity also said the airport was under Fano\u2019s control and that clashes were continuing on the outskirts of town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Spanish Embassy in Addis Ababa on Tuesday also urged its nationals not to travel to Amhara, citing \u201cinstability\u201d in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ethiopian Airlines said Thursday it had suspended flights to Lalibela and Gondar, another city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Late Wednesday, Ethiopia\u2019s Deputy Prime Minister Demeke Mekonnen said that \u201cthe security problems that are seen in different areas of Amhara region are becoming worrisome\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are at a historical time where we should be mindful of the fact \u2018If you don\u2019t have peace you will lose everything\u2019,\u201d he posted on Facebook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethiopia\u2019s federal
