ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - Ethiopia's military has clashed with fighters from a militia in the Amhara region, residents said on Wednesday, in a sharp escalation of a simmering feud between the two former allies.

The Fano militia backed federal troops in a two-year civil war in the neighbouring Tigray region that ended last November, but the relationship has soured over what some in the region say is a disregard by the national government for Amhara's security.
