"HRW Report: Saudi Border Guards Responsible for Mass Killing of Ethiopian Migrants"
Saudi Arabian border guards have allegedly killed hundreds of Ethiopian migrants, including women and children, who attempted to enter the kingdom along its border with Yemen, according to a report by Human Rights Watch (HRW). The rights group stated that the Saudi guards used explosive weapons and shot at migrants from close range. The killings were described as "widespread and systematic," with evidence including witness testimonies, videos, and satellite imagery. Saudi authorities have denied the allegations, while the US State Department has called for a thorough investigation. The migration route from the Horn of Africa to Saudi Arabia through Yemen is a well-established corridor for Ethiopian migrants.
