The Smugglers

16+ years ago Somali refugees living in Yemen immigrated from their country Somalia to Yemen because of the civil-war started in 1990 until now that caused peace less , strafe, and disease un development for the society , so Somali civil-people refuge in neighbor countries such as Kenya, Ethiopia and Yemen, looking for peace and better life, that civil-war in Somalia stayed long time it was near to end but it renewed with Ethiopian arms again and destroyed the ruins of the country and the civil hopes and even erase the dream of peace and new life in Somalia for future.

However, to day the number of the Somali refugees in Yemen in 2008 is (113,706 +) living in all around Yemen as Urban refugees and in Al-Kharaz refugee camp from 1990 until now 2008.

 

Again a huge of Somali people immigrated from their country Somalia to Yemen, this time in deferent circumstance, it is a time of terrorist and retreat of refugees, a time of hard life, less trust , less respect, death normal , risk normal , no fear, no worry, no hope, no dream , no future , coming from no where , going to no where , all that means no life for Somali refugees in & out of the country (Somalia) ….

they run away from the peace less , starve , and endless war going on the centralparts of the east Africa (Somalia ) , more then 15,300 people are crossed the sea between Somalia and Yemen from 1 January to 20 April , 2008,up from 7,166 in year earlier,361 people are died or were reported missing after attempting to make the journey and the same number of people were killed during the war in Somalia, they ride smuggling routes from northern Somalia and Djibouti to Yemen, as they pay 110$ for fast boats to each sail across the seas wither it is northern Somalia or Djibouti, and 50$ or less a long trip and slow boats , the distance of 300 kilometer (186-mile) as they face many difficulties to reach a Yemen's gulf, most of the time they but them self's in risk by crossing the seas whither the red sea , or Indian ocean which took a long hours to reach in Yemen about 38+ hours , some times the smuggle boats are drown in the middle of the sea which causes always death during their cross by the seas between Yemen and Somalia to reach Yemen and to have save and better life that they are imaging for but no body reach's to Yemen's sea shores accept the Somali's dead bodies…..
