In November 2018, the United Nations Security Council has lifted the arms embargo, travel ban, assets freeze and targeted sanctions previously imposed on which one of the following African countries?

On November 14, 2018, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) unanimously adopted Resolution 2444, which lifted the arms embargo, travel bans, asset freezes, and targeted sanctions previously imposed on Eritrea. These sanctions had been in place since 2009 following allegations that Eritrea supported Al-Shabaab insurgents in Somalia and maintained a border dispute with Djibouti.

The lifting of sanctions was a direct result of the historic peace agreement signed between Eritrea and Ethiopia in July 2018, which ended decades of hostility. While the council lifted measures against Eritrea, it simultaneously renewed the arms embargo on Somalia. This diplomatic shift marked a significant turning point for the Horn of Africa, encouraging regional stability and economic integration.
