Ethiopian Consulate in Puntland, Somalia repatriated 33 Ethiopian migrants from Puntland in cooperation with the International Migration Organization office in Bosaso, Puntland on 29 March 2023.
Consul General, H.E. Dagnachew Yitbarek said, among the returnees are 12 women, 17 men and 4 children. He noted, the migrants were illegally brought into Puntland by human traffickers and have been subjected to abuse and exploitation by the trafficker ring.
He added, illegal migration across our national borders is life threatening. As such, he urged the youth to avoid falling victims to brokers and human traffickers that goad them to their undeserved deaths.
