I hope the thread helps put some things into perspective. For more background, here's my coverage from a few weeks ago for the Middle East Eye, which features interviews with survivors. Also, keep a look out for a big story of mine which is about to drop soon.

Thank you for your time.

THREAD: Some of you came across the HRW report last month which highlighted the killings of Ethiopian migrants on the #Saudi #Yemen border by Saudi border guards. It made for tough reading. To further understand what they go through and the cold blooded nature of the killings, I produced this #OSINT based analysis parsing through satellite imagery and TikTok videos, using the HRW's report & my interviews with two survivors. There won't be anything graphic here, just eyeopening.

Unbearable "news" from #saudiarabia in a HRW-report: "'They Fired on Us Like Rain’: Saudi Arabian Mass Killings of Ethiopian Migrants at the #Yemen-Saudi Border" - and yet the situation is not new at all.
