　ソマリアで交通事故。エチオピア人11名が死亡、埋葬。そのほか20名以上が負傷。どうも機械的な不調による事故のようで、業者が安手の機材を使った付随的被害の様子。

「Six women and five men from Ethiopia are known to have died in a road accident in Somalia, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) says.

They were being transported by smugglers who reportedly planned to take them to Yemen via the port city of Bosaso, the IOM adds.

But the lorry carrying them overturned on Tuesday, a short distance from Bosaso. The IOM has only just released the details.」

　ボサソからイェメンへ密航しようというルートの途中での出来事。

「They confirm that 11 bodies have been buried. At least 20 other passengers were injured, the IOM says.

"We have buried the bodies and injured ones are being treated at Bosaso General Hospital," Bosaso municipality representative Mohamed Jama told the BBC.」

　イェメンは…停戦が期待されるところか。ならばなお動揺するエチオピアから、まあまあ安定しそうなあっちへ―という判断も、まあ、アリなのかもしれない。
