Rights group says Saudi Arabian border guards fired on and killed hundreds of Ethiopian migrants

[1srelluc]

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Border guards in Saudi Arabia have fired machine guns and launched mortars at Ethiopians trying to cross into the kingdom from Yemen, likely killing hundreds of the unarmed migrants in recent years, Human Rights Watch said in a report released Monday.

The rights group cited eyewitness reports of attacks by troops and images that showed dead bodies and burial sites on migrant routes, saying the death toll could even be “possibly thousands.”

The United Nations has already questioned Saudi Arabia about its troops opening fire on the migrants in an escalating pattern of attacks along its southern border with war-torn Yemen.

A Saudi government official, speaking on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak publicly, called the Human Rights Watch report “unfounded and not based on reliable sources,” without offering evidence to support the assertion. Yemen’s Houthi rebels, who allegedly make tens of thousands of dollars a week smuggling migrants over the border, did not respond to requests for comment.

Their kingdom, their rules.

They take their border/immigration very seriously.

Like here the solution to border jumpers is neither Christian nor constitutional, but it may be necessary to save the Republic.

Sorry, "rights group." The right of countries to enforce the sovereignty of their borders trumps the "right" to illegally cross them.

Now go cry yourself to sleep, "rights group."

What a shame. The Saudis closed the border to Yemen in 2000 to keep out the al Houthis and other jihadi groups like Al Qaeda and Boko Haram. They even moved all the border villages 20 kilometers back from the border.

There's nothing shameful about it. They're merely doing what we don't have the balls to do, so good on them.

So what round for Saudi border-jumping migrants?

I know. Cross border attacks from Yemen have been a problem for 25 years.

To me it's sad because Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf States have been generously propping Yemen up for 60 years. The jihadis threw it all away and Yemen is as poor and lawless as it ever was, but they have lots and lots of guns.

"Their rules". This is the same country that did not sign the Universal Declaration of Human Rights because it betrayed Sharia Law. You don't need to murder unarmed people, they can simply not allow them entry and can be sent along their way. Is this what brave people do? It's cowardly. They bully gay people, Christians, Jews, any outsiders. I thought the were evolving into a more civilized society, perhaps, not...

Evidently you so-called good Christians should hand a copy of the Ten Commandments over to the Saudis...

 

[Biff_Poindexter]

Republicans need to campaign on having the right to do that here...

At least DeSantis is willing to kill them dead......why won't others have the courage to do the same?

If only we could be more like Saudi Arabia. . .

Unfortunately, we were trying to ruin Saudi Arabia by trying to get them to be more like us....even allowing women to have rights, like driving cars...

No wonder they attacked us on 9/11 - maybe we should have been trying to be more like them...


Well, now the GOP can campaign on the slogan of "Vote for Us, So We Can Be More Like Saudi Arabia!"

They did sign the universal declaration of human rights and are very proud of it. You're pretty ignorant about Saudi Arabia. Every city has it's gays and mostly they are ignored. The Saudis have the death penalty for pedophilia, not homosexuality.

You probably don't realize that public behavior whether you are gay or not is
very conservative.

That preposterous. Everyone knows that George W. Bush was the one who masterminded the blowing up of the World Trade Towers.

That was right after he stole the 2020 election from Al Gore.

Saudi Arabia had nothing to do with 9/11. OBL hated the Saudis because they revoked his citizenship in 1994. OBL was Muslim Brotherhood which has been banned in Arabia since the early 1970s.

The Bushes used to have the Bin Ladens over for dinner.

"
In the mid-nineties, the Saudi Binladens joined the House of Saud, former secretary of state James Baker, and former president George H.W. Bush in investing and controlling the Carlyle Group, a private equity firm based in Washington D.C. The connections between Riyadh and D.C., between the Qasr Al Hukm and the White House, contracted as the world approached the new millennium."

Escape from the U.S.A.: The Bin Ladens and the Saudi Royal Family After 9/11

Within hours of the events of September 11, 2001, American skies were as clear as they had been a century before when flight was but yet a dream. American politicians, dignitaries, families, athletes, and travelers were stranded worldwide. No one had been approved to fly – no one, except 140...

Boy, I ain't found that pic I'm thinking of yet. Google tends to bury stuff.

It was in the newspaper. H.W. Bush was president and there's a big chandelier.

There were a couple of national news segments about it.

Most of the bin Laden family are successful good citizens. Didn't you know that? OBL was the black sheep.
