The security services in Shabwa Governorate said that they were able to seize a boat carrying 70 illegal immigrants of different African nationalities, while trying to enter the country through the Caheira coast illegally.

According to the Security Media Center, the boat, known as the "legend", was led by three citizens of Somali nationality, with 30 men from the Horn of Africa, in addition to 40 other migrants from Somalia and Ethiopia.

This incident comes in light of the increasing flow of migrants to the Yemeni coast, where the International Organization for Migration reported 15,400 illegal immigrants to Yemen during the month of January, which represents a 25% decrease compared to the previous month, which witnessed the arrival of more than 20 thousand immigrants. .
