Hundreds Of Migrants Killed By Saudi Border Guards - Report by AreaFada2: 11:08am On Aug 21, 2023 |
Ethiopian migrants say they were shot when they tried to cross from Yemen into Saudi Arabia By Paul Adams Diplomatic correspondent Saudi border guards are accused of the mass killing of migrants along the Yemeni border in a new report by Human Rights Watch. The report says hundreds of people, many of them Ethiopians who cross war-torn Yemen to reach Saudi Arabia, have been shot dead. Migrants have told the BBC they had limbs severed by gunfire and saw bodies left on the trails. Saudi Arabia has previously rejected allegations of systematic killings. The Human Rights Watch (HRW) report, titled They Fired On Us Like Rain, contains graphic testimony from migrants who say they were shot at and sometimes targeted with explosive weapons by Saudi police and soldiers on Yemen's rugged northern border with Saudi Arabia. Migrants contacted separately by the BBC have spoken of terrifying night-time crossings during which large groups of Ethiopians, including many women and children, came under fire as they attempted to cross the border in search of work in the oil-rich kingdom. "The shooting went on and on," 21-year-old Mustafa Soufia Mohammed told the BBC. He said some in his group of 45 migrants were killed when they came under fire as they tried to sneak across the border in July last year. "I didn't even notice I was shot," he said, "but when I tried to get up and walk, part of my leg was not with me." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-66545787 Seun, Mods, send this to FP to warn our brothers and sisters. |

They see us as less humans. If given the option they don't mind terminating the lives of blacks. Argue all you want, but the Europeans/Americans are still far better. Avoid any Arab territory. Our people should migrate to less hostile environments. 2 Likes |

Judekenny: The same place footballers and expatriates are flocking to. My own issue is why would anyone want to force his way into another man's country? Doesn't make sense to me. 2 Likes |

Its sad some people place little or no value on human life. If a country can have her citizen murdered in cold blood and cut into pieces in a different sovereign country and get away with it, how much less that of an unarmed foreigner trying to sneak in. Not all that glitters is "oil" you know. 1 Like |

Immigrants should beware of going to countries without proper human right protection. Of course, those fleeing wars and strife often have little choice or options. |

Arabs have never seen blacks as humans. The White man has issues, but he is far better off than Arabians. People wey no recognise or acknowledge the Trans-Saharan Slave Trade? Or Mauritania where blacks are still sold into slavery? 1 Like |

It seems some people are afraid to send a matter that concerns the lives of Africans to front page. Is it for religious reasons? Please our lives are more important. Seun Osewa Mods Mynd44 1 Like |
