Somalia: Hundreds of Ethiopian refugees were dumped offshore near Las Qorey

 

Las Qorey, Feb 23, (DhaharOnline)- Hundreds of sailors who were ethnically identified as Oromo and other Ethiopians were deliberately ferried to the coastal town of Las Qorey in the break away region of Makhir state by smugglers from the village of Mareer in Bari region via Bosaso.

 

The refugees were told by the smugglers aboard that they have reached Yemen and were forced to jump overboard and swim to the shore, witnesses said.

 

Some of the refugees are now provided with food and medicine by the residents of Las Qorey, an official told DhaharOnline through the phone.

 

A large number of the first wave of the refugees trekked back to the city of Bosaso to reunite with those whom they left behind, Las Qorey mayor said.

 

Refugees from southern Somalia and Ethiopia usually search for jobs while in the town and labor hard to earn enough money to pay off their smugglers, the capable ones leaving behind some members of their families hoping to reunite with them in Yemen.

 

Each trip costs from $40 to $80 per person.

 

Despite the perils inherent in the journey, this business undertaken with determined migrants has become a lucrative source of income for armed smugglers whose service ships routinely operate around the shores of Puntland.

 

The notorious business of human smuggling from Bosaso to Yemen goes unabated without interventions from the Puntland administration, elders in the city of Las Qorey complained.
