- Tensions between TPLF and the Ethiopian government undermine peace, said the State Department
The US State Department announced visa restrictions targeting people it said were undermining peace in Ethiopia on Thursday, focused on hard-liners in the Tigray People’s Liberation Front and their immediate family members.
“Rising tensions between Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) hard-liners and the Ethiopian government have threatened to reignite the conflict in northern Ethiopia and undermine peace and security across the entire region,” the State Department said in a statement.
“This visa restriction policy targets individuals who are responsible for, or complicit in, undermining resolution to the crisis in the Tigray region,” it said.
