Thousands of migrants have been slaughtered by Saudi border guards this year after they opened fire on them 'like rain' as they tried to cross through Yemen into the Gulf kingdom, a major report has found.
The Human Rights Watch report, released Monday, said some migrants, many of them from Ethiopia, were attacked at close range while others were fired on by mortar projectiles.
Many of the migrants reportedly had their legs severed and fingers shot off as their bodies were strewn across the trail.
The allegations, described as 'unfounded' by a Saudi government source, point to a significant escalation of abuses along the perilous 'Eastern Route' from the Horn of Africa to Saudi Arabia, where hundreds of thousands of Ethiopians live and work. The kingdom has previously rejected allegations of systemic killings.

WORKS FOR ME.
Border control done correctly.
That’s how you keep invaders out.
I hope biteme is taking notes
We’re hiring!
Now THATS how you protect your border!
My thoughts exactly.
I’m not seeing the problem with any country securing themselves against unwanted invaders.
Exactly.
Apply for asylum through legal means.
Don’t breach a border.
I am completely for this sort of action.
Why can’t Europe and the U.S. do this?
WOW a country that actually keeps their border secure go figure
The US sees each illegal as a future Dem voter..as far as Europe, same thing
What Would Saudis Do? WWSD
Whatever it takes to STOP the Invaders from advancing onto
Saudi territory!
Threats now neutralized.
It’s amusing how they give Israel the third degree for warning shots and the very occasional wounding or death at the border fence. The Saudis are treating the border area as a free fire zone vis-a-vis illegal aliens.
Pretty simple, isn’t it?
Great idea
Keep up the good work.
Yemen is crazier than the rest.
Sounds good.
