“Once he reached Saudi, and found work, his employers there, where he worked as a goat herder, reported him to the authorities when it was time to pay his salary (he spent nine months in prison before being sent back home).” What is wrong with humanity? Exploring people in this disgusting way? 😭😱

And the women going “missing” — does anyone know what’s happening to them? 😳

There's very little information, but it's safe to assume that traffickers are involved. They go missing at various points on the journey and once they reach there as well. It's very heartbreaking.

So must of the women leaving Ethiopia are going for work in the Middle East? I have heard so many sad and painful stories about this.

Yes, they go looking for work; the women in Gulf countries who come from Ethiopia are commonly domestic workers.
