EDITOR’S NOTE: As reports by Human Rights Watch and other rights groups indicate, many of these young girls will be abused and sexually exploited. There is no one to speak out for them. That is why the Saudis prefer Ethiopian girls more than women from Easter Europeans and other countries. Is there any thing left to be sold by chigaram Woyannes?
(Saudi Gazette) JEDDAH – Recruitment of Ethiopian house-maids, arriving in the Kingdom within the next few days, is expected to curb demand for Indonesian labor by 30 percent.
Sources at the Ministry of Labor said Ethiopia authorized its nationals to work in Saudi Arabia without placing any conditions for recruitment except the legal formalities. The country has set the monthly salary for house-maids at SR700. Recruitment fees will range from SR4,000 to SR6,000, Al-Watan reported.
Ali Al-Qurashi, member of the Foreign Recruitment Committee at Jeddah’s Chamber of Commerce, dismissed news on recruitment from East European countries like Bulgaria, Ukraine and Russia. However, recruitment from Islamic countries like Tajikistan, Kyrghizistan, Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo is in the pipeline, he said.
The recruitment will carry a number of restrictions including a minimum age of 40 for the workers, he added.
Faisal Al-Qatami, member of the recruitment committee at the chamber said several inquiries were received for recruitment from Eastern Europe, but no response was received from the National Recruitment Committee or from the Ministry of Labor.
“I expect recruitment from these countries will be banned,” Al-Qatami said.

Every one of us are responsible to erase the dark side of our being. Let us stop the worst form of disgrace in human history, prostitution both inside and outside Ethiopia by our beautiful sisters. This is not the duty of a government that is only trying to survive by any means. This is the duty of every sensible and responsible ethiopian. Only laziness encourages us to point at the government. We can curb this.
Weyane flourished in this business back in the late 70’s and 80’s in Sudan. What is new about weyanes and trading WOMEN for cash. For those of us who saw the fealthy business of weyanes in Sudan nothing really surpise us as to what would be the next business adventure. You know what the Sudan’s use to call a male and female weyane: Meares (pimp)for those weyane males and Alshermuta (prostitute) for those who were females. The only difference this time around is they have the whole Ethiopian population under their gun can do what ever they want. God save Ethiopia and Ethiopians from the evil on earth weyane!
you guys are full of craps. what is wrong with seeking opportunity in a foreign land? Do you know how manyn Ethiopians die crossing the red sea to get to saudi?
Ok now. It is sad but what would you have done if you were in the leadership position? Damn if you go left , damn you go right.
My best friend, Saba Haregot, founded Outreachethiopia.org to fund school clothes, books and food for orphans. Her work, single handedly, has allowed these children to continue their education so they aren’t forced to move to Saudi for work and food. Her commitment keeps the girls (and boys) fed and in school. She donates 100% of her salary to this cause and spends every penny received, 100%, on the orphans. I know, I’ve been there with her. And thanks to her husband for supporting her and her cause.
One person really can make a difference.
