| Heavy fighting has flared up again in several parts of the Ethiopian region of Amhara, where government troops are battling local militia. | |
| Artillery has been used in the latest clashes between soldiers and the Fano militia. | |
| The Ethiopian authorities have banned any movement on a road linking two cities - Debre Birhan and Dese - potentially signalling a major offensive. The army says it cleared another route, south of the town of Merawi. | |
| Residents who spoke | |
| to the BBC have described Monday's clashes as “intense.” | |
| Earlier this month, Ethiopia's human rights watchdog, the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission, said troops had carried out dozens of extra-judicial killings in the town. The government denied that civilians had been targeted. | |
| It recently extended a state of emergency in the Amhara region. | |
| The unrest began last year when the government in Addis Ababa tried to disarm the militia in Amhara after the end of the war in the neighbouring Tigray region. | |
