53 Somalis drown
At least 53 Somalis have drowned off the coast of Yemen while trying to cross from Somalia to the Arabian Peninsula country, a Yemeni official said yesterday.
The captain of the vessel carrying about 145 migrants forced them to jump into the sea off Yemen's southern province of Abyan to swim ashore, the provincial official said.
