In June 2019 VOA reported that the International Organization for Migration expected two flights carrying about 250 Ethiopian migrants detained in Yemen to leave for Addis Ababa, with hopes of later repatriating nearly 2,000 more people held under difficult conditions.
The Red Sea crossing from the Horn to Yemen remained one of the world’s busiest and deadliest migrant routes, so each organized return flight was both relief and a reminder of how many Ethiopians were still stranded.
Kept as migration and Red Sea archive, the VOA report dates one IOM repatriation pulse from Yemeni detention.
