After a report by Human Rights Watch alleging that the Saudi government killed hundreds of Ethiopian migrants, the US voiced its 'concern' and called an investigation. The United States on Monday voiced concern over a Human Rights Watch report that Saudi border guards killed hundreds of Ethiopian migrants and urged a full investigation. "We urge the Saudi authorities to undertake a thorough and transparent investigation and also to meet their obligations under international law." The State Department said that the land border guards implicated in the report did not receive any US government funding or training. Human Rights Watch in its report said that Saudi border guards "fired like rain" on Ethiopian migrants as they tried to cross from Yemen, killing hundreds last year.
