Thousands flee from
Ethiopia, Somalia, UN says
 Reuters
At least 17,000 illegal migrants from the Horn
of Africa leave their countries for South Africa
annually, most of them transiting through Kenya,
a top U.N. official said on Monday.
Tal Raviv, a
regional programme officer at the U.N.'s
International Organisation for Migration (IOM),
told Reuters that conflict and poverty were
forcing Ethiopians and Somalis to undertake
risky trips to better places.
"We estimate the
number of people, specifically Somalis and
Ethiopians, going from south central Somalia and
southern Ethiopia towards South Africa is
between 17,000 and 20,000 men every year," Raviv
told Reuters in an interview.
