What is behind the latest fighting in Ethiopia? | Inside Story

Conflict once again in Ethiopia, this time in Amhara.
Many Amharas say they have been sidelined by the Addis Ababa government, dominated by the Oromo ethnic group.
Fano rebels in Amhara were government allies in neighbouring Tigray's two-year war.
Now they are fighting the army.
Others accuse the rebels of trying to overthrow the government.
What is driving this conflict? And how is the government addressing the region's long-simmering grievances?
