Zooming into Ethiopia

The United States (US) of America‘s patience has snapped with Ethiopia, an important ally in Africa. Washington imposed visa restrictions this week on as yet-unnamed Ethiopian and Eritrean officials, saying they had “taken no meaningful steps to end hostilities” in a brutal six-month war in the Tigray region. The US also put curbs on economic and security assistance, though humanitarian aid which accounts for most of the $1 billion it spends in Ethiopia each year will continue. Jane Rabothata spoke to William Davison from the International Crisis Group about the latest developments.
