The 27 migrants are believed to have died of "hunger and exhaustion" after they were "dumped," according to Zambian police. Zambian police said Sunday that the bodies of 27 suspected Ethiopian migrants were discovered in an area north of Zambia's capital, Lusaka. "They are all believed to be Ethiopian nationals," Mwale added. Migrants from East Africa use Zambia as a transit route to South Africa, one of the continent's largest economies. The bodies of 30 suspected Ethiopian migrants were found in Malawi in October.
