US imposes visa restrictions on Ethiopia over Tigray conflict.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Sunday 23 May 2021that the actions by the United States are to press for the resolution of the crisis in the Tigray region of Ethiopia.

US visa restrictions were also placed on Ethiopian and Eritrean officials accused of contributing to the six-month-old war in Tigray.

Restrictions are targeted current or former Ethiopian or Eritrean government officials, members of the security forces, or other individuals to include Amhara regional and irregular forces and members of the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) responsible for or complicit in undermining resolution of the crisis in Tigray.
