GENEVA - The International Organization for Migration reports it has helped repatriate 11 Ethiopians who escaped death after having been locked in the container of a smuggler’s truck. They and dozens of other migrants who did not survive were discovered after the truck crossed the Malawi-Mozambique border in March. However, spokesman for the International Organization for Migration, Paul Dillon says this particular journey turned out to be a nightmarish, harrowing experience. While in Tete, Dillon says three of the survivors left the facility and have yet to be located. He adds the driver of the smuggler’s truck has been detained and an investigation is ongoing.
