Coalition: Houthi Claims that Saudi Arabia Deported 800 Somalis to Yemen Are Untrue

The Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen said Sunday that claims made by the Houthi militias on Saudi Arabia sending 800 Somali migrants to Yemen are false and baseless.

Coalition spokesman Colonel Turki al-Malki said in a statement that the claims are an extension of the “inhumane actions and behavior of the terrorist Houthi militias against African migrants in Yemen.”

He said the insurgents forced in April the displacement of more than 8,000 African migrants, including women and children, to Saudi Arabia under the excuse of the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

The Kingdom dealt humanely with the migrants and provided them with all their needs, Malki added.
