Seven Somali immigrants have been killed in Saudi Arabia ,Yemen border by Saudi soldiers, witnesses said on Saturday.The Somali immigrants were on their route from Yemen to Saudi Arabia when they have been killed by the Saudi soldiers.
The soldiers have reportedly ordered the Somali immigrants to stop but they tried to run away and the soldiers opened gun fire indiscriminately to the immigrants.
One of the Somali immigrants who survived the shooting incident and returned to Yemen told Mareeg Online on condition of anonymity that the Saudi soldiers killed the immigrants on purpose.
There has been fighting between Saudi and Yemen soldiers and the Shiite Yemen rebels.
Yemeni soldiers captured Somali teenagers fighting alongside the Yemeni Shiite rebels two months ago.
The Somali immigrants fleeing from Somalia reach Yemen and then cross to Saudi Arabia in search of better life, but the Saudi government often deports the immigrants back to Somalia.
