Migrants from Eritrea speak of severe imprisonment in Ethiopia

Some Eritrean people told the media Tigrinya that they are with more than 100 others, including 13 kids, who have been kept in jail for two months in the Ethiopian town of Yebelo, near the border with Kenya.

They said they live in a temporary prison enclosed by a prickly fence made of acacia branches, which doesn’t keep them safe from the weather.

The group was traveling to ask for safety in Kenya, they said.

One person, who doesn’t want to be known, said they had to go through really tough situations.

At first, we bought water from the police and used it to wash ourselves. But when we didn’t have money, a lot of us got sick because we didn’t have enough food and clean water,” they said.

Even though the police took them to the clinic, they have to pay for their own treatment.

“People who don’t have money are hungry and sick. ”

Right now, many Eritreans who ran away from the fighting in Sudan are going into Ethiopia, Kenya, and Uganda.

The local police didn’t answer the media’s question.
