Djibouti expels thousands of Ethiopian migrants

ADDIS ABABA: Djibouti has sent thousands of Ethiopian migrants back to their country in recent weeks, and some returnees have tested positive for the coronavirus, officials said on Friday.

The UN’s International Organisation for Migration (IOM) estimates that so far in April "over 2,400 migrants" have been returned from Djibouti to Ethiopia, said Yvonne Ndege, an IOM spokeswoman.

"But with the pandemic still unfolding this is a developing situation and the numbers are changing," Ndege said. After being deposited at the border, the returnees are transported to quarantine facilities in the Ethiopian city of Dire Dawa or in the northern Afar region, said Zewdu Assefa from the Ethiopian Public Health Institute.

At least four of the returnees in Dire Dawa have tested positive for COVID-19, Zewdu said. Ethiopian officials are worried the disease could spread further, as it is unclear whether Djibouti is doing any screening, Zewdu said.

"There is a concern for sure and we are all trying our best to manage that," he said. Ethiopians looking to migrate to Saudi Arabia in search of work often travel via Djibouti, where they board boats to cross the Red Sea.

Djibouti’s ambassador to Ethiopia, Mohamed Idriss Farah, said on Friday that many of the returnees were stranded in Djibouti because of pandemic-related travel restrictions and wanted to go back to Ethiopia.

But Zewdu said at least some of them were probably victims of "forced deporting". Djibouti, a strategically important country that hosts major US and French military bases, has reported nearly 1,000 cases of COVID-19. Its small population of around one million means it has the highest prevalence of the disease on the continent, according to the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.

"We refuse to die in prison," - Argentina prisoners riot demanding health measures


Dozens of prisoners at a jail in Argentina's capital Buenos Aires have rioted in a demand for urgent health measures after confirmation of a coronavirus case inside the facility.

Police surrounded the prison, which holds around 2,200 inmates, as explosions were heard during the incident on Friday, an AFP news agency reporters at the scene said.

A group of prisoners managed to climb onto a roof, burn mattresses and throw objects at security guards trying to quell the uprising.Authorities have yet to comment on the riot or whether there are any injuries.

Inmates could be heard shouting demands for a judge to hear their case and for better protection against the pandemic, just a few days after a warden at the Villa Devoto prison was confirmed to have contracted the novel coronavirus.

"COVID-19 in Devoto, genocidal judges," read a banner hung from the prison roof. "We refuse to die in prison," read another.
