US President Joe Biden on Friday signed an executive order that authorises a wide-range of sanctions on those responsible for the Ethiopia conflict, if they refuse to agree to a ceasefire and dialogue.
In the first ever step to punish warmongers in Ethiopia since the conflict began, Biden’s order, which will be implemented if parties don’t sue for peace, said all parties to the conflict, including the governments of Ethiopia and Eritrea as well as the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) and Amhara regional government, will be sanctioned if they violate the peace call.
