Assisting Ethiopian Migrants in Somalia

Muse Mohammed and Safa Msheli

Every year, scores of Ethiopian men, women, and children leave home in search of a better life. They travel to Somalia and Djibouti along the so-called Eastern Migration Route, cross the Gulf of Aden, and journey through conflict-torn Yemen to the Gulf, principally the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in search of work. Others head northwest to Sudan and onto conflict-torn Libya to try and cross the central Mediterranean, the deadliest sea-crossing in the world.
