# American Bombs Target Migrants: The Tragic Consequences in Yemen
In a shocking incident, U.S.-made bombs destroyed a detention facility in Yemen, leaving Ethiopian migrants questioning their safety and the reasons behind the attack.
In the dead of night, Fanta Ali Ahmed and other migrants heard the deafening roar of warplanes overhead—a sound that had become a familiar terror since their harrowing escape from the brutal war in Tigray, Ethiopia. Fanta had sought refuge in Yemen, hoping to reach Saudi Arabia, but instead found himself detained in a crumbling prison where conditions were already dire.
On that fateful night, the pent-up fear exploded into chaos when multiple 250-pound bombs struck the detention center in Saada, decimating the building and most horrifyingly, its occupants. When the dust settled, Fanta felt a sharp pain in his legs and was left in disbelief over the devastation around him. “The place and everyone in it were mangled,” he recalled. The bombing left ten individuals dead and many others severely injured, with limbs barely attached.
As an Ethiopian migrant, Fanta's plight underscores the dire consequences of conflict and the tragic toll taken on vulnerable populations fleeing violence—once again leaving him and many others to ponder: “Why did America bomb us?”
In recent times, it has been reported that over 60,000 migrants from the Horn of Africa have faced perilous journeys through Yemen, highlighting the urgent need for global accountability for the actions affecting displaced individuals seeking safety.
Sources indicate that the ongoing crisis in Yemen has been exacerbated by international military engagements, leaving many trapped in warzones, yearning for safety but facing unimaginable horrors instead. Fanta's story is a bleak reminder of the violence that often accompanies seeking refuge and the urgent calls for humanitarian considerations in conflict zones.
