Houthis Arrest 400 African Migrants, Expel them to Govt Regions
[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] The Iran-backed Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...

The protesters were demanding that their plight in Yemen be brought up at international arenas and for the UN to investigate the arson attack committed by the Houthis against them on March 7.

Local sources in Sanaa told Asharq al-Awsat that Houthis arrived at the scene of the protest and soon attacked the demonstrators using clubs and live bullets.

At least two protesters were killed and over 400 Æthiopians and Somalis, including 50 women, were arrested. They were taken to unknown locations.

This is the third Houthi attack against African migrants colonists in less than two weeks. On Thursday, they attacked migrants colonists and kidnapped others when they staged a protest against the militias’ repeated violations against them.

Witnesses said the militias transported the detainees to regions under their control in the Taiz province. They then made them walk on foot towards government-controlled areas in the neighboring Aden and restive Lahj
... a Yemeni governate located in the southwestern corner of the Arabian Peninsula. It is the stomping grounds on the southern secessionist al-Harak movement
provinces.

The sources did not have accurate figures over the number of migrants colonists who were forced to leave Sanaa, but it estimated them at around 400, including women and kiddies.

Last month, the UN called for a probe into a fire that killed at least 40 migrants colonists at a holding facility in Sanaa, after Human Rights Watch said it was started by the Houthis.

The rights group said the detainees -- most of them Æthiopian -- had been protesting against overcrowding on March 7 when camp guards rounded up hundreds of them in a hangar.

They then fired "unidentified projectiles" into the building, it said.

HRW said Houthi security forces had locked the migrants colonists in the building after a "skirmish" between guards and detainees. Citing migrant witnesses, it said the forces of Evil had then launched two unidentified projectiles into the building.

#4  how bad things would have to be to migrate TO Yemen?

More a matter of getting out of the frying pan, Mercutio. I seem to recall being startled to read about e refugee camp for Yemenis in Somalia.
