Africa Horn migrants heading south face arrest and deportation

Increasing numbers of Ethiopians and Somalis fleeing war, drought and poverty in their home countries face arrest, deportation and detention as they try to make their way to the south of the continent.

For most the goal is South Africa – the only country in the region where refugees and asylum seekers have freedom of movement and the right to work rather than being confined to camps. But as the number of migrants from the Horn of Africa seeking asylum in South Africa has reached unprecedented levels, border authorities have started refusing them entry.

"There's a new unofficial policy since the beginning of May where Somali and Ethiopian nationals are being informed they'll not be given asylum by the South African government," said Abdul Hakim, chairperson of the Somali Community Board, a local organisation representing the interests of Somalis.

Hakim said that before the crackdown about 1,500 Somalis were entering South Africa every month. With official borders closed to them, many were now entering the country illegally and then making their way to refugee reception centres to apply for asylum.

by WFP

Former TNT CEO and current WFP Ambassador Against Hunger, Peter Bakker briefed CEOs and Senior Officials on the growing emergency in the Horn of Africa. Peter was straight off a plane from the region where he saw first-hand the suffering that drought, conflict and displacement are bringing to over 13 million people. The stories he told brought to life the harrowing realities facing mothers, children, families - and their loss of hope on the roads leading to the overcrowded refugee camps.
