The head of the US Treasury department’s sanctions office, Andrea Gacki, condemned Eritrea for undermining the stability and integrity of the Ethiopian state, resulting in a humanitarian disaster.

Eritrea has supported the Ethiopian federal government against Tigrayan rebels.

The UN has accused all sides in the year-long war of committing atrocities that may amount to war crimes.
