What's more disturbing is that this cat dares to wear that homosexual Saudi garb in Mogadishu. Dude they fcuking deportd your arse you fcuktard.

That's why I'm wholeheartedly on the side of Israel and that I actually laugh when I see an Israeli soldier slaps a grown Arab man in Jerusalem. I really enjoy that humiliation.

I truellt love America where it has given opportunities that would've been otherwise impossible in certain countries as a Somali. Long live America. May god continue to bless her. And may god rid Canada of that desolate queen, may it become a republic. And may Qatar deport that soft ceysiir drinking kid named Hyper back to Jig Jiga. Amen!

Here's that pic btw

Saudi Arabia has deported 71,118 “illegal” foreigners since its crackdown on migrant workers began on November 4, according to latest figures from the kingdom’s Passport Directorate.

This total is likely to continue increasing because of delays in processing deportations since many of the arrested migrants do not have identity documents. Before carrying out deportations the authorities are also checking criminal records and taking biometric details in case the migrants attempt to return.

Arab News reports that almost 300,000 Egyptians have returned home since the beginning of July and the number of Egyptians in the kingdom has now fallen below one million. Remittances by Egyptian workers so far this year total only 1 billion Saudi riyals ($267m) – a huge drop from 6 billion riyals in 2010

In Yemen, officials are expecting the total of Yemeni returnees from Saudi Arabia to reach 210,000. Some 130,000 returned during the initial crackdown last March (and the subsequent “grace” period), with a further 80,000 expected during the current crackdown. -

Two groups reportedly exempted from deportation are Palestinians and Burmese citizens. Arab News says they will not be sent home, even if they are found to be violating the new labour law, “due to internal strife in their countries”. However, it is unclear what will happen to them.

HAGGARD and penniless, thousands of Yemenis are being dumped at the dusty and chaotic al-Tuwal border crossing with Saudi Arabia. As they pour out of dangerously overcrowded buses, aid workers hand them bread and juice. For many, this is the only support they receive. Freshly expelled from Saudi Arabia, the mass of deportees is now Yemen’s problem.

For decades, the kingdom turned a blind-eye to the millions of illegal and migrant workers who quietly took on the manual labour jobs that Saudis didn’t want. But facing an unemployment rate of 12% and growing pressure to create opportunities for its own citizens, in March Riyadh ruled that illegal workers would no longer be tolerated. Home countries, notably Yemen and Ethiopia, persuaded Saudi monarch King Abdullah to offer two grace periods to allow people to comply with the law. But when they expired on November 4th the roundup of foreign workers began in earnest.

Yemenis have been among the worst affected. The International Organisation for Migration, a UN body, says nearly 8,000 were sent back through al-Tuwal in a single day in early November. Yemeni officials say the monthly total of 71,000 brings the number of returnees to between 300,000 and 400,000 since the beginning of the year. Both deportees and critics of the Saudi policy admit the kingdom has a right to enforce its laws and that most of the Yemenis being expelled were not there legally. But concerns rest over the way that the deportations are being carried out and the effect they will have on Yemen, the poorest country in the Arab world where at least a third of citizens live in poverty.

"They way they are [deporting the Yemenis] is brutal," says an international aid worker who asked not to be named. Many deportees report being taken directly from the street to detention facilities with no chance to gather their belongings. Packed into cells, some say they were beaten and robbed of what little they had on them. "They hit me with a cable," said one young man. "If you sleep they hit you or you talk they beat you." Once, witnesses say, a bus arrived carrying a male corpse.

The Yemeni government is doing little for those arriving at the border. Many don’t even have enough money to pay for transport home. The authorities in Sana'a are ill-equipped to cope with the long-term fallout, too. Economists say the 1990 experience—when the country saw the expulsion of some 1m of its laborers from neighboring Gulf countries—was a shock from which the country has still not recovered. The Yemeni economy is in far worse condition than it was two decades ago. Over half the country’s youth is already out of work. Yemen must also figure out how to fill a gaping hole in remittances as the billions of dollars that workers send home each year continues to decline. Meanwhile, Yemen is still trying to navigate a fragile political transition in the wake of the 2011 ousting of former president Ali Abdullah Saleh.

Many of the Yemeni deportees say they will try to return to Saudi Arabia. Ali Sufan, 58, first made the journey from his home in northern Yemen to the kingdom by foot in 2000. Despite being kicked out multiple times, he keeps going back. The young man who was beaten, like many others, plans to sneak or be smuggled back to Saudi Arabia as soon as possible. The risks and costs are high, but they see it as offering more hope of a decent life than at home in Yemen.
