UK threatens sanctions on Eritrea over migrant return refusal
BBC NewsSRC LO·GB · ER·1 day ago
The UK has threatened to impose visa bans on Eritrean diplomats, restricting their movement outside London, in response to Eritrea's refusal to accept the return of its nationals. This escalates a bilateral dispute over migration cooperation, signaling potential further diplomatic and economic pressure. The move is part of a broader UK strategy to deter irregular migration, but its effectiveness remains uncertain given Eritrea's historical resistance to such demands.
