UN urges Saudi Arabia to stop expelling Somalis

[ailamos]

The UN refugee agency has urged Saudi Arabia to stop deporting Somalis, saying 2,000 people have recently been sent to Mogadishu.

 

The UNHCR says those forced back to the Somali capital are at risk.

There is almost daily fighting there between Islamist militants and government troops backed by African Union peacekeepers.

The UNHCR has asked all countries not to deport people to south and central Somalia.

 

Most of this region is under the control of the al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabab group and its allies.

 

The government only runs a few parts of the capital.

 

"Given the deadly violence in Mogadishu, UNHCR is urging the Saudi authorities to refrain from future deportations on humanitarian grounds," said the agency's spokeswoman Melissa Fleming.

 

Many Somalis escape the conflict at home by paying people-smugglers to take them across the Gulf of Aden to Yemen.

 

Some then carry on to Saudi Arabia.

 

Mogadishu and much of southern Somalia has been wracked by violence for almost two decades.

.. effing AyrAABs. I remember relatives being sent by the glorious Siad Barre to teach the asshooles basic science and math, and now they doing this.

Will they listen ?? ,,,,

 

This shows the level of hate from the Arab governments towards Somalis in general. Can you imagine someone arrested and sent by force to Mogadishu ??? ,,,,

[N.O.R.F]

What is so bad? That they're kicking them out or that they're sending them to Muqdisho?

[Jacaylbaro]

They are sending them to that place sxb ..... they better hold them in jails than sending them there to be killed.

[N.O.R.F]

^They should send them somewhere safer yes but there are too many illegal Somalis in KSA and they're from everywhere not just the south.

[Jacaylbaro]

Their problem is ,,,, they send everyone to Muqdisho which is the worst place

[Ibtisam]

They are sending them to moqdisho because they all claim to be from there! The UK has started to send people back to Sl and PL, so not suprise the arabs are sending people back, they just need to send them somewhere safe!

 

P.s. JB Arabs don't hate Somalis! You are becoming like peace now!

[Jacaylbaro]

You're right. If they sent them to Puntland, Faroole will only send them back to Mogadisho. So the Arabs are right whatever way they do it.

Because they are against SOmaliland?

[GaroweGal]

^^^Is SomaliLand the choosen land above all? I feel this is how its treated by SOL members.Istaaqfurulaah.

 

Ngonge: Ever noticed how Jews feel its necessary they mention they are a Jew. You meet them on the street, at work and at uni they MUST mention they speak Hebrew or have some sort of affiliation with Jews before they draw the next breath. You could be watching a movie and the character out of the blue screams "YES I AM JEW". I feel this is how certain SOL members from S'Land act like, its scary.
