Saudi Arabia rejects accusations of killing Ethiopians at Yemen border

RIYADH, AUG 21: The kingdom has refuted a report that alleged possible crimes against humanity at the country’s southern borders. A Saudi government source denied Human Rights Watch’s accusations that Saudi border guards killed hundreds of Ethiopian migrants.

A Saudi government source told Agence France-Presse that the accusations are baseless and not based on reliable sources.

In a report, Human Rights Watch accused Saudi border guards of firing heavily and using explosive weapons to kill Ethiopian migrants who were trying to cross from Yemen into the kingdom.
