Repressive, secretive and highly militarised: Eritrea, the east African country facing UK visa ban threat
Eritrea, an East African nation noted for its authoritarian rule and heavy militarization, may face a United Kingdom visa ban. The UK is considering restrictions after Eritrea halted its agreement to return migrants. The country has not held a national election in 33 years, and its opaque governance has drawn international criticism. Its repressive stance and migrant pullback have spurred UK action.
