The article highlights the severe violence faced by Ethiopian migrants trying to cross into Saudi Arabia from Yemen, where accounts from survivors detail indiscriminate shootings and heinous acts, including sexual assault. Testimonies indicate that Saudi border guards have killed hundreds of migrants, with evidence of bodies left unburied and migrants encountering extreme brutality. These findings are corroborated by a Human Rights Watch report, emphasizing a systematic pattern of violence against vulnerable individuals hoping for better opportunities.
The journey was particularly horrifying. Along the way, we encountered many decomposing bodies that had been eaten by animals. The border guards continued to fire at us.
I personally saw three people die next to me. One of my legs was blown away by the Saudi fire. There were body parts of the injured and the dead all around me.
