Breaking News: A boat carrying over 1000 Somalis from Yemen dock at Bossaso port

A boat carrying over 1000 Somali refugees from Yemen has docked at Bossaso port of Semi-autonomous regional state of Puntland on Monday
The returnees were warmly welcomed by the administration of Bossaso at the port.
The boat which reportedly set out one day ago, ferried vulnerable Somali refugees including women and children who fled away the escalating Yemen violence.
Some of the returnees who spoke to Goobjoog News said that they were displaced by the civil war escalating in Yemen and bombings carrying out by Saudi led coalition.
“We thank Almighty God, Allah has saved us from that place and I am happy to see country and my people again after years” said one of the returnees at the port.
Omar who one of refugees Somali from Yemen said that the lives of Somali people in Yemen are in danger and if they are not evacuated soon, they will be caught up in worse situations.
Omar who has been living Yemen for many years has urged the government and other well-wishers to give her transport to her destination, Mogadishu the capital city of Somalia.

Yemen became home for ferocious fighting between the internationally recognized government and the Houthis, who have taken control of large swaths of Yemen.
The brawl claimed thousands of lives and displaced hundreds of thousands including Yemenis and Somali refugees who escaped the conflict and hardships in their country before civil war eruption in Yemen.
Since 1st April, 4423 of Somali refugees started to return home by themselves with small boats. They accused the government of ‘’failing’’ to intervene the situation of the trapped citizens.
Life went from bad to worse for the Somalis living in Yemen after the federal government revealed that it is supporting the on-going Saudi-led military offensive against the Houthi rebels who are fighting to take over internationally recognized government.
Pledges
Somali government promised to dispatch ships and planes for the evacuation of Somalis caught in Yemen’s conflict.
It was on 27th April when Director of the Parliament Mohamed Iyow told Goobjoog that the parliament has approved to send two ships to evacuate Somalis in Yemen.
While other foreign nationals have been evacuated from the impoverished gulf nation, the federal government has not yet moved to evacuate its citizens despite announcing plans to bring back them home.
