1. One hundred thirty eight Eritreans deported from Ethiopia have been dumped at the Djibouti border. The Ethiopian government had similarly abandoned deported Eritreans on the Kenyan and Djibouti borders last month. The government of Djibouti informed the Eritrean embassy in Djibouti upon arrival of the expellees at the border. The Eritrean government is arranging the repatriation of the deportees including several infants and 62 deportees under the age of 14. Almost 25,000 Eritreans have been deported from Ethiopia since June.
