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.
'Saudi officials are killing hundreds of migrants and asylum seekers in this remote border area out of view of the rest of the world,' HRW researcher Nadia Hardman said in a statement.

Cue Patsy Cline’s biggest hit: “I Fall To Pieces!”
Maybe we can learn some lessons from the Saudi’s.
We need to hire a few of them for our southern border...
Send a memo to Mayorkas - this is how it’s done
“legs severed and fingers shot off”
Hmmm...did others get “arms severed and toes shot off”?
It's right for Saudi, it's right for Hungary, it's right for Ukraine, and it's bloody well right for USA.
Joe Biden's refusal to protect OUR border is treason.
Nonsense.
We have plenty of Americans willing to do the job. We need a new set of politicians, who will LET them do the job.
At least we have a couple of governors who are pointed in the right direction ...
Sounds like a plan.
Yes. Just follow the rules. If you can’t follow the rules from the beginning, you won’t follow the rules after that.
Not every country wants to be invaded. We should do the same here.
Like most stuff from HRW, probably a lot of fiction mixed in with a little truth. If 10-20 are shot, just say 1,000... If there really are “thousands”, then these Ethiopians are really slow learners.
Play stupid games....
They are worried about terrorists coming in from Yemen
Our Mexican border should have been militarized decades ago. With serious fences and 25,000 troops. But DC traitors sold us out.
Normal border operations
You know what I was aiming at..........
That’s how it’s done
TO BAD, SO SAD; the only advice I have for the Saudi border police is BUY MORE AMMUNITION!
