Puntland cracks down on would-be smuglees

Recommended Posts

Abdulkadir Ahmed Kheyr, in charge of ending people-smuggling from Puntland, told IRIN they had so far repatriated around 1,000 people of "Ethiopian origin back to their country".

 

"Somalis are detained and sometimes sentenced to jail terms to discourage them," he said.

 

He said security units were arresting would-be migrants along the shore as they tried to board boats, adding that some of embarkation points used by smugglers had been taken over. "If they stay in Bosasso we don't bother them."
