The Trump administration’s decision to impose visa restrictions on leaders of the #Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) is unfortunate.

Those who genuinely seek peace in #Ethiopia should work with all parties to the conflict to reach reconciliation and peace.

#Ethiopia | Deafening silence: no accountability for the killing of three MSF staff in #Tigray

Five years after three Médecins Sans Frontières (#MSF) staff members were brutally killed in central Tigray, Ethiopia, the Government of Ethiopia has shown no sign of concluding and sharing the outcomes of a credible and impartial investigation, despite our continuous engagement efforts.

On 24 June 2021, María Hernández Matas, Tedros Gebremariam Gebremichael, and Yohannes Halefom Reda were shot while they were in the area looking for people in need of medical assistance, after reports of heavy fighting.

One year on since MSF published its internal review into the brutal killing, the families of #María, #Tedros, and #Yohannes have still not received any official communication or substantiated findings regarding what happened that day, and we urge the Government of Ethiopia to fulfil its obligation in finishing and releasing the investigation.

The findings of an MSF review published one year ago confirmed that the attack was an intentional and targeted killing of three clearly identified aid workers. They also established that a convoy of Ethiopian National Defence Forces (#ENDF) was present at the time of the incident, on the same road where our colleagues were killed.

May 2026 marked 10 years since the #United_Nations Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2286, in which states committed to uphold their obligations under International Humanitarian Law and protect medical humanitarian personnel.

However, the Tigray incident is emblematic of a global failure to fulfil this commitment, as states neglect their duty to investigate and hold accountable those responsible for attacks on humanitarians and medical staff.

Washington’s new sanctions on TPLF may accelerate conflict rather than prevent it. Here is my take.

The United States has announced visa restrictions on selected TPLF leaders and their families, hoping to deter them from pushing Tigray back into war with the federal government. Will this sanction achieve its intended objective? I doubt it. In fact, I fear it may have the opposite effect.

At this stage, the TPLF faces only two choices: fight or surrender. Externally, the federal government has steadily tightened the screws through budget cuts and severe restrictions on essential goods and services entering Tigray. Internally, the party is grappling with deep factional divisions and growing public frustration. Faced with these twin pressures, TPLF leaders seem to have concluded that war offers a better chance of political survival than capitulation. Their calculation is straightforward: a renewed conflict could restore internal discipline, rebuild cohesion, and rally a frustrated population around collective defense rather than socio-economic grievances.

Will a US visa ban force them to reconsider? Unlikely. If anything, it may convince them that the diplomatic path has effectively closed, making the battlefield appear to be their only remaining option. The sanction itself is largely symbolic. Most of the targeted officials are already unable to travel freely outside Tigray, save for limited access to neighboring countries such as Eritrea and Sudan. For political actors who increasingly view their situation in existential terms, a travel restriction is hardly a meaningful deterrent. Some may argue that extending the sanction to family members increases pressure. Having observed, studied and campaigned against TPLF leaders for years, I am skeptical that concern for their children’s travel prospects will alter decisions they perceive as matters of political survival.

There is also a broader problem. TPLF is not the only actor involved in the emerging confrontation. It has built relationships and understandings with other forces that view conflict with the federal government as increasingly likely. Unless those actors are similarly incentivized to step back from the brink, it would be extraordinarily risky for TPLF to de-escalate unilaterally. Doing so could leave it isolated and vulnerable against a far stronger federal state. Under such circumstances, the sanction offers little incentive short of outright surrender.

More fundamentally, what guarantee is Washington offering in return? The US, the AU, and much of the international community were guarantors of the Pretoria Agreement, yet they largely walked away from enforcing its implementation when disputes emerged. Why should TPLF believe that diplomacy will protect its interests now? A small stick without any accompanying carrot is unlikely to inspire confidence, particularly when it comes from an administration whose positions are often perceived as shifting with changing realities on the ground.

There is another glaring omission. The sanctions focus exclusively on TPLF leaders, yet the actual military deployment toward Tigray is being carried out by the federal government. Equally concerning is the increasingly belligerent rhetoric coming from senior military commanders and federal officials over the past several days. Their statements and saber-rattling suggest a level of preparedness and willingness to wage war that, at least for now, appears greater than that of the Tigrayan side. If the objective is genuinely to prevent conflict, why is this aspect being ignored? Why is the pressure being applied only to one side while the other side’s military preparations and escalation signals escape scrutiny?

For these reasons, I fear the sanctions may produce precisely the opposite outcome from what Washington intends: accelerating the path to war by convincing TPLF that diplomacy is exhausted, while simultaneously emboldening Abiy Ahmed’s government to act more aggressively.

I sincerely hope I am proven wrong.

An important question also comes to mind: what, exactly, did Abiy promise or offer Donald Trump in exchange for this sanction? Given the remarks Trump made during his meeting yesterday with Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Ethiopians would do well to keep a close eye on GERD.

Tigray Government Accuses Federal Government of Drone Strike Near Sheraro in Northwestern #Tigray
----
Tigray's Government has accused Ethiopia's federal government of carrying out a drone strike near Sheraro in Northwestern Tigray today June 6, 2026, alleging that the attack caused casualties and property damage among.

In a statement issued on June 6,2026, Tigray's government said the strike occurred in the early hours of the morning. The administration described the attack as a violation of the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement and claimed that similar drone strikes had previously been conducted in various parts of Tigray, including against civilians.

The statement also accused the federal government of maintaining restrictions on budget transfers, fuel, medicines, and financial services, which it said have hindered recovery efforts and worsened humanitarian conditions in Tigray.

Expressing concern over what it described as signs of renewed military escalation, the government warned that any return to armed conflict could further destabilize Ethiopia and the wider Horn of Africa.

The administration reiterated its calls for the return of displaced persons, respect for Tigray's territorial integrity, accountability for wartime atrocities, protection of human and democratic rights, and accelerated reconstruction and recovery efforts.

In its concluding remarks, Tigray government called on the international community to closely monitor developments and take timely measures to prevent further escalation, warning that continued instability could deepen the humanitarian crisis and threaten regional security.

In violation of the Pretoria Cessation of Hostilities Agreement, the Ethiopian regime executed a drone strike in the Sheraro area of the Northwest Tigray Region this morning, resulting in fatalities and injuries among members of the Tigray Army during their routine activities. This breach is not an isolated incident; the regime has previously conducted drone strikes targeting civilians in various parts of Tigray. Justice and accountability for the genocide perpetrated by this regime and its allied forces against the Tigray people remain absent. Furthermore, the regime is reportedly preparing for another campaign aimed at exterminating the people of Tigray, having failed to subdue them through measures such as budget cuts, restrictions on fuel, medicines, food aid, and cash, alongside committing further atrocities. @SecRubio @StateDept @SenateForeign @SenatorShaheen @SenatorRisch @SenatorCardin @SenateGOP @SenateDems @BradSherman @antonioguterres
