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.

Desert vultures must have the border staked out pretty well.
Is the Border Patrol Hiring??? I’ve long said the border should be mined and armed guard towers ready to kill. Otherwise build a wall like Chyna , make it a tourist trap but use it for reinforcements of the border. Otherwise start taking over smexico and reinforce our NEW southern border. Additionally ADOPT smexico’s immigration policy .
The Turks use 81mm mortars and 155mm shells to shoot into other contries where smugglers mass and try to cross the border. Their mountain troops are ruthless against KKP and other terrorists groups in Georgia, Armenia, Iraq, and Iran.
Can we get some of them here?
One would think world would get out about this really quick preventing any future illegals from crossing the border without permission.
People are really dumb or really desperate. Maybe both.

Surely, Biden and the reigning liberal loudmouths have condemned this...right? /sarc
100%
Me too! Boy, the Saudis know how to enforce a border.
Fingers shot off? Damn. That’s pretty good shooting.
You mean they actually defend their country from foreign invasion? Novel concept.
