| 2011-03-22 |
| At least 60 Somali refugees decamped Yemen due to the unrest situation in country and reached to the port town of Bosasso. ...Puntland's major port, population about 250,000, most of them shady characters who hang around waterfront saloons and carry knives and brass knuckles... One of the refugees, told local media news hounds that the Somalis were accused by Yemenis of being mercenaries fighting on behalf of Yemeni leader President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh. ''We decamped from Yemen due to poor living conditions, social inequality, instability, lack of freedom, oppression, current political unrests and many other reasons," Mr. Osman told media outlets. Seems Puntland is a better bet than Yemen these days... According to UN agencies in Somalia, at least 250 Somali refugees returned back to their native country from Yemen since 26th January when anti-government protests rocked the country. |
