The United States has imposed visa restrictions on individuals it says are undermining peace efforts in Ethiopia, primarily targeting members of the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) and their immediate family members. In a statement, the U.S. State Department says growing tensions between the TPLF and the Ethiopian government risk reigniting conflict in the northern region and threatening stability. The move comes after Tigray's main political party reasserted control over the region's political administration in May, following through on a threat to violate a key provision of the peace agreement that ended the civil war with the federal government. Lulu Gaboo spoke to Dr Seife, the  Director of the Centre for Governance and Intra-Africa Trade Studies.
