Saudi Border Guards Accused of Massacring Hundreds of African Migrants

Saudi border guards are accused of mass killing migrants along the Yemeni border, according to a report by Human Rights Watch. The report includes graphic testimony from migrants who say they were shot at and targeted with explosive weapons by Saudi police and soldiers. Migrants attempting to cross the border from war-torn Yemen to reach Saudi Arabia, many of them Ethiopians, have reported being shot, having limbs severed, and witnessing bodies left on the trails. The Saudi government has previously denied allegations of systematic killings. The report suggests that the abuses may amount to a crime against humanity, with a minimum of 655 deaths documented but likely thousands more.
