WASHINGTON, June 18 (Reuters) – The U.S. State Department announced visa restrictions targeting people it said were undermining \u200bpeace in Ethiopia on Thursday, focused on \u200chardliners in the Tigray People\u2019s Liberation Front and their immediate family members.<\/div>\n
“Rising tensions between Tigray People\u2019s Liberation Front (TPLF) hardliners and \u200bthe Ethiopian government have threatened to reignite \u200bthe conflict in northern Ethiopia and undermine peace \u2060and security across the entire region,” the State \u200bDepartment said in a statement.<\/div>\n
The State Department cited clashes \u200bbetween TPLF forces and Ethiopian government forces earlier this year.<\/div>\n
“This visa restriction policy targets individuals who are responsible for, or complicit \u200bin, undermining resolution to the crisis in the \u200bTigray region,” it said.<\/div>\n
Tigray’s main political party reasserted control over the \u200cnorthern \u2060Ethiopian region’s political administration in May, following through on a threat to violate a key provision of the deal that ended a civil war with the \u200bfederal government.<\/div>\n
The TPLF \u200bsaid it \u2060had restored the legislative council that existed before the 2020-2022 civil war and \u200bthat the council had elected TPLF chair \u200bDebretsion \u2060Gebremichael as regional president.<\/div>\n
The conflict in Tigray, which drew in forces from neighbouring Eritrea, was one of the \u2060century’s \u200bdeadliest, killing hundreds of thousands \u200bof people through direct violence, the collapse of healthcare and famine, according \u200bto researchers.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
