US Imposes Visa Curbs on TPLF Members and Families Over Ethiopia Conflict
3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 19
Summary
Several TPLF members and their immediate family members were hit with US visa restrictions, with Washington saying they threaten peace and stability in Ethiopia.
Marco Rubio ordered the steps against what the State Department called hardline TPLF figures responsible for or complicit in undermining efforts to resolve the Tigray crisis.
The US did not identify the targeted individuals, but said the policy is aimed at those obstructing a settlement in the Horn of Africa nation.
The move adds diplomatic pressure on Tigray leaders as Washington frames the conflict as a broader regional stability risk.
