US warns it could sanction Ethiopia after CNN report reveals state-owned commercial airline ferried weapons during Tigray conflict
The Biden administration has described a CNN report that Ethiopian Airlines shuttled weapons to Eritrea as"incredibly grave" and warned that it was prepared to impose sanctions on Ethiopia and any other parties who prolonged the conflict in Tigray.
On Wednesday CNN revealed that Ethiopia's government used its state-owned commercial carrier to move weapons to and from neighboring Eritrea during the first weeks of the conflict. It is the first time this weapons trade between the former foes has been documented during the nearly year-long war in Ethiopia's northern Tigray region.
