Saudi border guards kill possibly hundreds of Ethiopian migrants arriving from Yemen, rights group says
Fox News
A rights group has alleged that Saudi guards near war-torn Yemen may have killed hundreds of Ethiopian migrants in the latest attack of an escalating pattern of border violence.
The United Nations has already questioned Saudi Arabia about its troops opening fire on the migrants in an escalating pattern of attacks along its southern border with war-torn Yemen.
A Saudi government official, speaking on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak publicly, called the Human Rights Watch report "unfounded and not based on reliable sources," without offering evidence to support the assertion. Yemen’s Houthi rebels, who allegedly make tens of thousands of dollars a week smuggling migrants over the border, did not respond to requests for comment.
