Security forces seized on Friday 101 illegal Ethiopian migrants on Abyan province’s shores. Meanwhile, 14 others were captured in Taiz’s Dhubab district in Raas al-Arah to bring the number of arrested Ethiopians to 115 within 24 hours.
Interior Ministry leadership voiced its concern over the ongoing rush of displaced Ethiopians into Yemen, which is currently overburdened with the obstacle of Somali refugees in its territories with an estimated number close to 800,000.
The Ministry’s Media Center announced that security apparatuses in the coastal provinces have been directed to seal the sea outlets off as a step to confront an Ethiopian influx into the country.
It is worth mentioning that displaced Ethiopians who have infiltrated Yemeni territories during the past month have reached 300 with the expectation that the number will hit 500 by the end of April, according to the assessments made by security authorities in the coastal provinces.
