Ethiopia and Eritrea condemn US sanctions against Asmara

Ethiopia and Eritrea on Saturday condemned the US’ imposition of new sanctions on the latter, against the backdrop of the bloody conflict in Ethiopia, and Asmara described Washington’s move as “illegal or immoral.”
The Ministry of Information said in a statement: “These unilateral sanctions, which hold Asmara responsible and make it a scapegoat based on false accusations, contradict international law, and constitute a flagrant violation of sovereignty.”
It added that the aim behind these sanctions “is to inflict suffering and starvation on the Eritrean people to provoke political unrest.”
While the Ethiopian Foreign Ministry considered that the US “failed to understand several facts, including that the Tigray Front fired several missiles, targeting the sovereignty of Asmara.”
