Washington, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 24th May, 2021 ) :The United States on Sunday announced visa restrictions on Ethiopian and Eritrean officials accused of fuelling the six-month-old war in Ethiopia's Tigray region, saying those involved had "taken no meaningful steps to end hostilities.
