US Removes Sanctions on Eritrea's Ruling Party and Military Amid Regional Security Concerns
The United States has lifted sanctions imposed in 2021 on Eritrea's ruling party, military, and associated individuals due to humanitarian and human rights concerns during the Tigray conflict in northern Ethiopia. Eritrean forces supported Ethiopian troops against Tigray fighters in the conflict that ended with a peace accord in November 2022. Eritrean officials welcomed the removal, calling the sanctions unwarranted. The delisting occurs amid rising security concerns in the Red Sea, particularly near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a strategic shipping route.
