At least 13 people have died after a boat carrying migrants sunk off Yemen’s coast, UN saysIt says something about how messed up that part of the world is that, not having read the story yet, I'm not 100% sure which direction the boat was going.
Odds are that it was full of people fleeing the Sudan and/or the Horn of Africa and hoping to get to the Gulf States, but given Saudi atrocities at the Yemeni border and the hot mess Yemen's been for years now, maybe they were going the other way and hoping to get to, I dunno, someplace reasonably stable like Egypt or Kenya.
*goes and reads story*
Yup, it was the former. Ethiopians hoping to get work in the Gulf States.
