Des combats font rage depuis mercredi matin entre miliciens et forces f\u00e9d\u00e9rales dans la ville sainte \u00e9thiopienne de Lalibela (nord), situ\u00e9e dans la r\u00e9gion d’Amhara en proie au conflit et c\u00e9l\u00e8bre pour ses \u00e9glises taill\u00e9es dans le roc, selon plusieurs habitants.<\/p>\n
Les milices d’\u00ab autod\u00e9fense \u00bb Amhara Fano ont soutenu l’arm\u00e9e \u00e9thiopienne pendant deux ans de conflit l’opposant aux autorit\u00e9s rebelles de la r\u00e9gion voisine du Tigr\u00e9, qui s’est sold\u00e9 par un accord sign\u00e9 en novembre 2022 \u00e0 Pretoria.<\/p>\n
Cet accord, per\u00e7u comme un renversement d’alliance, a exacerb\u00e9 les tensions en Amhara, qui ont d\u00e9g\u00e9n\u00e9r\u00e9 en conflit ouvert lorsque le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral a tent\u00e9 en avril de d\u00e9sarmer les forces r\u00e9gionales.<\/p>\n
\u00ab\u00a0Les combats ont commenc\u00e9 ce matin vers 08h00 (05h00 GMT) et des coups de feu se font encore entendre. Il semble que les Fano contr\u00f4lent certaines parties de la ville, j’aper\u00e7ois des petits groupes sur la route principale\u00a0\u00bb, \u00bb a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 par t\u00e9l\u00e9phone \u00e0 l’AFP un diacre de la ville, qui a requis l’anonymat pour des raisons de s\u00e9curit\u00e9.<\/p>\n
Il n’a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 possible de v\u00e9rifier ces affirmations de mani\u00e8re ind\u00e9pendante, car les autorit\u00e9s f\u00e9d\u00e9rales restreignent l’acc\u00e8s \u00e0 Amhara.<\/p>\n
Ni le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral ni l’arm\u00e9e \u00e9thiopienne n’ont r\u00e9pondu dans l’imm\u00e9diat aux messages de l’AFP.<\/p>\n
Un autre habitant contact\u00e9 par l’AFP, qui a souhait\u00e9 garder l’anonymat, a \u00e9galement indiqu\u00e9 que les combats, qui ont d\u00e9but\u00e9 vers 8 heures du matin, se poursuivaient et que des Fano \u00e9taient visibles dans la ville. Il a assur\u00e9 qu’aucun combat n’avait eu lieu mercredi \u00e0 proximit\u00e9 des \u00e9glises rupestres, class\u00e9es au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO.<\/p>\n
Un troisi\u00e8me habitant de Lalibela a confirm\u00e9 que la ville \u00e9tait le th\u00e9\u00e2tre de combats, sans donner plus de d\u00e9tails.<\/p>\n
Le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 l’\u00e9tat d’urgence \u00e0 Amhara en ao\u00fbt. L’arm\u00e9e f\u00e9d\u00e9rale contr\u00f4le les principales villes et les grands axes routiers, mais la situation est tr\u00e8s volatile et les Fano multiplient leurs attaques dans les zones rurales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
