The year. US Executive Order 14046 states that in September 2021, two years ago, the sanctions imposed on the Ethiopian government in connection with the war in the Tigray region were extended for one year to address the threat presented to national security and foreign policy.
As of 2021, the government and authorities in Ethiopia usually refer to the limitations as “sanctions imposed by internal affairs.” There have been conversations about the potential effects that American sanctions may have on Ethiopia, such as the one that took place in Dire Dawa awa city.
The sanctions include travel bans for Ethiopian and Eritrean authorities, military personnel, and others as well as targeted sanctions against organisations and people accountable for the egregious human rights violations and ongoing violence in Ethiopia’s Tigray region.
Additionally, no defence services or equipment should be given to the police, intelligence, or other internal security agencies of Ethiopia or Eritrea under the African Development and Opportunity Act (AGOA), which permitted Ethiopia to earn up to $100 million yearly. The American market will no longer be accessible to Eritrea duty-free.
After been renewed twice, the sanctions are now in effect until September 2024.
