Muddo aan fogayn, maamulka duulista hawada ee Eritrea ayaa ku dhawaaqay in ay xayiraad ku soo rogayaan diyaaradda Itoobiya (EA) dhammaadka bisha Sebtembar.
Maanta, markabka calanka Itoobiya oo ay leedahay dowladda dalkaas iyo shirkadda diyaaradaha ugu weyn Afrika, ayaa ku dhawaaqday in ay joojisay dhammaan duulimaadyadii aadi jiray iyo kuwii ka iman jiray Eritrea.
Sida laga soo xigtay Ethiopian Airlines, the air services were suspended because the blocking of its bank account in Eritrea has severely undermined its operational capabilities.
Ethiopian Airlines Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mesfin Tasew, announced today that the aviation regulatory authority had prohibited the transfer of funds from the airline’s bank account located in Asmara, the capital of Eritrea. “This situation has rendered it unfeasible for us to access our financial resources,” Mesfin stated, adding that the airline had “no alternative but to halt all flights to Asmara.”
Earlier, the airline announced on X that it “regrets” the decision to suspend flights to the neighboring country due to “extremely challenging operating conditions it has faced in Eritrea that are beyond its control.” The airline said that it would re-book impacted passengers on alternative carriers at no extra charge or provide refunds.
Safarka hawada ee Itoobiya iyo Eritrea ayaa dib loo soo celiyay lix sano ka hor ka dib markii la hakiyay muddo labaatan sano ah. Labada dal ee deriska ah ee Bariga Afrika ayaa waxaa ka dhaxeeyay colaad xuduudeed intii u dhaxeysay 1998 ilaa 2018. Hoos u dhac weyn oo ku yimid colaadda ayaa dhacday 2018 markii Abiy Axmed uu la wareegay doorka Ra’iisul Wasaaraha Itoobiya oo uu heshiis nabadeed la galay Madaxweynaha Eritrea Isaias Afwerki.
