Yemeni authorities round up thousands of Ethiopians migrants in south, IOM says

Yemeni authorities have rounded up about 3,000 refugees predominantly Ethiopians, in the south of the country, “creating an acute humanitarian situation,” the UN migration agency said on Friday.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) “is deeply concerned about the conditions in which the migrants are being held and is engaging with the authorities to ensure access to the detained migrants,” it said. The migrants are held in open-air football stadiums and in a military camp.

The detentions began on Sunday in the city of Aden and the neighboring province of Lahj, which are under the control of the Saudi and American backed so called govt. Real Yemeni Govt control Sanaa, the capital, and other major urban centers.

These may include Somali refugees.
