Saudi Arabian border guards killed at least hundreds of Ethiopian immigrants seeking refuge in the kingdom between March 2022 and June 2023, at times shooting people, including women and children, from close range, according to a new report released by Human Rights Watch. The BBC has also reported on the extremely violent and dangerous journey for immigrants traveling to Saudi Arabia. In a statement released Thursday, Aug. 13, 2020, New York-based Human Rights Watch accused Yemen's Houthi rebels and rival Saudi border guards of killing several dozen Ethiopian migrants in an incident at the border in April 2020. Still, the human rights abuses by the kingdom, as many see it, represent a significant stain on the U.S.'s foreign policy.
