About 43 African migrants have drowned off the coast of Yemen while trying to cross into the Arabian Peninsula, the Yemeni authorities have reported. According to the website of the Ministry of Interior, most of those killed were Ethiopians and have managed to rescue three Somalis after the boat carrying them capsized due to rough seas.The survivors have given warning that another boat with 40 people, including women and children, has been missing, and authorities fear he has suffered the same fate. Hundreds of Africans risk their lives in the Gulf of Aden to try to reach Yemen, a country they see as the gateway to other rich nations in the Middle East, and eventually, a way to reach Western countries.
