According to eyewitnesses and sources, Mr. Fentaw Derbew was killed by the Abiy Ahmed regime’s forces.
Ethiopia regime had held Mr. Fentaw hostage for months, allegedly due to his son Fano Abebe Fentaw’s affiliation with the Amhara Fano National Force’s Eastern Command unit, where he serves as Head of Communications. During his captivity, Mr. Fentaw was reportedly subjected to physical abuse and torture.

In response to the murder, the regime has deployed a large number of troops to the city, reportedly out of fear that the assassination could spark a rebellion.
The murder of Mr. Fentaw Derbew has sparked widespread condemnation, and calls for justice and accountability are growing louder.
