Ethiopian Government's Move to Disarm Regional Forces Sparks Deadly Clashes

Protests erupted in Ethiopia's Amhara region in response to the federal government's order to disband and integrate regional special forces.
Clashes between federal and Amhara forces left at least four people dead, including two aid workers.
The order to dissolve regional forces has stoked ethnic tensions and threatened to destabilize Africa's second most populous nation.
Amhara leaders accuse the federal government of failing to protect ethnic Amharas and surrendering territory to their rivals, fueling demands for more autonomy.
