Yemen’s Ministry of Interior said today that 1,048 Ethiopians have illegally entered the country by smuggling boats last November. Many of the refugees are women and children.
The Ethiopians were fleeing from the U.S.- and World Bank-financed brutal dictatorship in Ethiopia.
The regime in Ethiopia, led by Meles Zenawi, is currently waging a genocidal war in Ethiopia’s Ogaden region where entire villages are being burned down.
Interior ministry voiced its concerns about the escalating flow of refugees from Ethiopia, ordering the security authorities in coastal provinces to close of inlets the Ethiopians used to enter the country.
