Ethiopia has said it will investigate the deaths of 27 of its citizens who were found dumped on the outskirts of Zambia's capital Lusaka, reports Anadolu Agency. Zambian authorities found the bodies of 27 men, aged between 20 and 38, in Ngwerere, a farming area near Lusaka, on Sunday. "Irregular migration along the route is facilitated by an intricate network of smugglers and traffickers and is fraught with extreme risk to life." More than 900 Ethiopians have died on migration routes since 2014, including this latest incident, the IOM said. According to the UN, Africa is the second-deadliest region for migrants, with more than 9,000 deaths documented on the continent since 2014.
