Over 220 Somali refugees arrive in Yemen's coasts

SANAA, Sept.06 (Saba) - About 223
Somali refugees have arrived in coasts of Hadramout and Taiz provinces among them 49
women
and 10 children, Informaiton Center of Interior Ministry has reported .

Security authorities made it clear to the center that 168 out of the Somali
refugees arrived in the coasts of Hadramout within three sequential groups, while
55 others got
off in Thubab coastline in Taiz province.
They expected continuation of Somali refugees' influx during the few coming days by
a number of 100-150 refugees per day, a matter which makes the Somali refugees'
problem
in Yemen more complicated.
Moreover, the security bodies in Makha district of Taiz province have captured 22
Ethiopian nationals including 10 women, who illegally sneaked into the Yemeni
territories.
The security bodies, which already seized 40 other Ethiopians at Thubab coast,
expressed their fears for the Ethiopians' constant influx to the Yemeni coasts
during the
current month.
Yemen is unable to receive new refugees especially that it suffers economic and
social burdens from the Somali refugees whose their number amounted to as many as 1
million
refugees on its lands, the security bodies indicated.
