Estados Unidos levanto las sanciones contra el partido gobernante y el ejercito de Eritrea, informo el Departamento del Tesoro, despues de que una emergencia nacional declarada en septiembre de 2021 expirara el 18 de septiembre de 2026 sin ser renovada. Las sanciones originales fueron impuestas por la administracion Biden por preocupaciones humanitarias y de derechos humanos vinculadas al conflicto en la region etiope de Tigray, donde fuerzas eritreas respaldaron a las tropas etiopes contra combatientes leales al gobierno regional de Tigray. Ese conflicto termino con un acuerdo de paz firmado en noviembre de 2022.
La Oficina de Control de Activos Extranjeros del Tesoro indico que habia retirado las sanciones a varias personas, entre ellas Hagos Ghebrehiwet, un alto funcionario financiero eritreo designado dentro del programa. El Departamento de Estado senalo que la administracion Trump decidio no renovar la medida de emergencia para promover intereses estadounidenses mas amplios en la region del Mar Rojo, donde las preocupaciones de seguridad se han intensificado.
La medida llega en medio de una creciente inquietud en Washington por la seguridad de las rutas maritimas a traves del estrecho de Bab al-Mandeb, ya que las fuerzas hutíes en el vecino Yemen han ampliado su control sobre la costa occidental del pais. La costa eritrea del Mar Rojo, incluido el puerto de Asab, se encuentra cerca de ese punto estrategico, lo que dio mayor peso a la decision de flexibilizar las sanciones al gobierno de Asmara.
