Somali Refugees Buried in Mass Graves in Yemen
2007-01-12
The bodies of 90 Somalis, who went missing at sea on their way to Yemen, were found floating off the coast of Yemen, said members of the Somali community in the Yemenite capital ‘Sana . They were buried in mass graves in Yemen, according to IRIN.

Fifty Somali refugees are still missing at sea. The head of the Somali community in Yemen Muhammad ‘Ali Hersi is calling for greater efforts to find the missing Somalis. The survivors were in bad condition and not all of them had been sent to the refugee reception center at Mayfaa, in southern Yemen, Hersi said. Four boats smuggling 515 Somalis and Ethiopians capsized off the Yemeni coast on December 27. Seventeen people died and 140 went missing.

You know things are bad at home when your destination, as a refugee, is *Yemen*.
