GENEVA (BNO NEWS) -- At least 14 people have been killed while a smuggler's boat carrying more than 100 people tried to travel the Gulf of Aden for a two-day journey from Somalia to Yemen, the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) said on Tuesday. The agency said a smuggler's boat carrying approximately 115 passengers set sail from Bosasso, Puntland in northern Somalia on early Sunday morning. They were attempting to illegally reach Yemen. According to the survivors, ten Ethiopians suffocated en-route to Yemen when the smugglers crammed and confined 25 people to the engine room which had no ventilation. It happened about seven hours after the boat's departure, and the victims were later thrown into the sea. Four more people died in the sea when the smugglers, fearing detection by the Yemeni Navy, forced all the remaining passengers to disembark from the boat. It happened too far from the coast, causing some of the exhausted passengers to drown in the rough sea. "We condemn the unscrupulous and inhumane treatment of refugees and others who are desperately seeking to flee the violence, human rights abuses and seriously debilitating life options in the Horn of Africa," said Erika Feller, the UNHCR Assistant High Commissioner for Protection. "We have witnessed similar, isolated, individual incidents before – but never on such scale. This speaks volumes about the smugglers' utter disregard for human life." As of Tuesday morning, the Yemeni Society for Humanitarian Solidarity had recovered one male and one female body. They were buried hours later at the local cemetery near Al Hamra. The 101 survivors, mostly Ethiopians, were transferred to Ahwar Reception Centre for care and recovery. According to UNHCR, at least 108 people are known to have drowned or fallen victim to risky crossings on the Gulf of Aden since the beginning of the year. In 2010 this number was only 15. More than 9,000 Somalis and 27,000 Ethiopians have arrived in Yemen by boat so far this year.

Wouldn't it be great if they could talk without the bloody amxaar and resolve their conflict.

Manshallah. Modern looking plant from the outside and hopefully this will create some jobs for the locals. --- This reminds me of a documentary about Coke factories in latin america that I watched. They treat their employees terrible and create unbelieve amounts of pollution in the local environment; not mentioning the high amounts of water this plant will need in this water scarce region. So somewhat of a mixed blessing...

Now i'm confused. Is the conflict between Pland-Sland or Sland-SSC ? I think Pland is playing a clever game here...

More senseless fighting :mad:

We should raise more awareness of this. It is being called 'the silent genocide' [in the above video] in South Africa as Somalis are targeted and murdered.

700 Somalis were murdered in South Africa between 2002-2010. A short report be warned, graphic images ^

It is not neccessarily about features as such. It seems that for these people it is not about beauty as such but about who they are. Even if a women doesn't have the 'ideal features', she is still a beautiful creation of Allah swt and for people to say or for the woman herself to believe that she is less worthy than the other creation of Allah is just wrong. Like someone said before, people will put you down if you let yourself down. Beauty is subjective but humans are equal.

Allah made everyone into different colours and races. It really shouldn't even be a topic for discussion. You are who Allah made you, accept it and stop crying would be my message to those women. If they want to do something about what the media is pushing and/or the prevailing cultural ideals being pushed by certain groups of society go ahead. African people, that is those from Africa, tend to have less of an issue with their identity, their colour, their hair and so forth. If they feel they are too black to be beautiful in a white country they can move to Africa; problem solved.

Politically there does need to be a better leadership and strategy no doubt. Media, resources and diplomacy will all play a decisive role if Somalis are to win. If they want to win they can but it is all about strategy.
