Ethiopa Tigray: Tentions Rise Over US Restrictions

The spokesperson for the Ethiopian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Wednesday criticised the United States’ decision to impose restrictions on economic and security assistance over the conflict in the Tigray region.

Dina Mufti says “sanctions are not necessary for the US to send its message across the country” and that it is Ethiopia that has to “deal with its internal affairs.” Tensions between Ethiopia and the United States still at an all-time high after Washington imposed restrictions due to the conflict in the Tigray region, which has killed thousands and seen more than two million flee the area. The UN said this week 91% of people in Tigray need emergency food aid.
