Yemen: Somali refugees demand justice

Hundreds of Somali refugees have been protesting for almost a week in front of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) premises. With their families and children, they staged a sit-in and expressed their demands for improving their current legal, economic and social living condition. They demanded equal consideration similar to other refugees such as the Ethiopians, whom they claim have better treatment. Yemen hosts a number of refugees from Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan, Iraq and Palestine, along with other small numbers of refugees from other countries.
