The US military’s airstrike in Yemen has resulted in the deaths of Ethiopian migrants, including Hiwot Mehari, sparking calls for justice and compensation from affected families. The April 2025 attack targeted a migrant detention center in Saada province, operated by Houthi rebels, and left 68 dead and 47 injured, all of whom were civilian migrants. The strike, part of the US’s “Operation Rough Rider” against Houthi maritime threats, has been labeled a potential war crime by Amnesty International and Houthi officials due to the lack of a clear military objective. This incident may have significant geopolitical repercussions, particularly in relation to Houthi actions in the region.
