WHY ARE THEY STILL DOING THIS WALAHI

EVERY YEAR THEY RISK LIFE TO GO TO YEMEN

ADEN (Reuters) - At least 16 people including six children drowned in the Gulf of Aden while trying to cross from Somalia to Yemen, Yemeni media said on Monday.

One person was missing while 11 people including two women made it to Yemen's shores after their boat sank near the southeast coast of the Arabian Peninsula country late on Saturday, al-Ayyam newspaper said.

The survivors said the boat was overloaded and the seas were rough, the newspaper reported.

Many African migrants cross to Yemen, which they see as a gateway to other parts of the Middle East, and the West.

It has already been banned thats why the smugglers go to some deserted place to launch these boats.
The government of Puntland has made it an illegial offence but where there is demand there is a service. Aslong as these people think that the grass is greener on the otherside, tragedies like this will continue to happen. Believe me I just came back from Bosaso and I have met people who have been on these jouneys and they have told me that the smugglers made them walk for hours in the dark before reaching a spot where the boats where so as to avoid the police.
