Global: Authorities deport 122 Ethiopian migrants

Ethiopian consulate officials in Yemen said they had been concerned for the welfare of 122 Ethiopian migrants after Yemeni authorities had detained them for nearly a week before deporting them. "We were worried about why they were arrested and what condition they might be in, but then the authorities told us it was because they entered the country illegally, and were not political refugees, and that they were being well looked after," Abebe Biazen, Consul of the Ethiopian Embassy, said.
