US Seeks to Lift Sanctions on Eritrea

The US government is considering a reset of diplomatic ties with Eritrea, which could involve lifting sanctions. These sanctions were imposed in 2021 on Eritrea's ruling party and military due to serious abuses during the conflict in Ethiopia's Tigray region. The potential easing of sanctions has raised concerns about accountability for human rights violations. The US is not alone in exploring engagement with Eritrea, as the European Union and Canada are also cautiously considering it. Further details on this development are available from Human Rights Watch, which has been monitoring the situation in the region.
