Somali Yemen Returnees in Mogadishu face desperate situation

Many of the Yemen returnee families in Mogadishu are facing desperate situation.
Some of these families who spoke to Goobjoog News said that they are live under extreme distress as they did not get aid from NGOs and the federal government.
They described the life being unbearable and demanded urgent help from Somali federal Government and international NGOs.
They called the local traders, federal government of Somalia and the humanitarian aid agencies to deliver emergency support and save the lives of these people before the situation becomes tragic.
It was on Monday when Forty five families who fled the conflict in Yemen were resettled in Mogadishu by Banadir administration.
On the other hand, Banadir administration said they are planning to prepare makeshift camps to welcome the new refugees, urging Mogadishu resident to help their brothers and sisters.
Many families are fleeing from Yemen which became home for ferocious fighting between the internationally recognized government and the Houthis, who have taken control of large swaths of Yemen.

Since 1st April, 7000 of Somali refugees have returned 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.
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.
