UN urges Saudi Arabia to stop sending Somali refugees
9:57 AM
The office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees on Friday urged Saudi Arabia to stop sending Somali refugees and asylum seekers back to the war-ravaged Mogadishu. "UNHCR is deeply troubled by the reports of continuing deportations of Somali refugees and asylum seekers from Saudi Arabia to the conflict-stricken Somali capital," middle-east-online.com quotes the UN refugee agency spokeswoman Melissa Fleming as saying. "According to our local partners in Mogadishu, some 1,000 Somalis were deported from Saudi Arabia in June alone. For July the total so far is estimated to be close to 1,000," said Fleming. This week dozens of civilians have been killed in clashes between government forces and Shebab militia in Somali capital. Saudi Arabia has not joined the international refugee convention but UNHCR said all countries should extend some form of international protection to Somalis who had to leave their homes because they could not return to Somalia safely.
