Migrants from Africa are reportedly being forcibly recruited to fight for militias in Yemen; that’s according to the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR).

Some 92,000 people, most of them Ethiopians and Somalis, arrived in Yemen by boat in 2015 despite the ongoing conflict in the Gulf state.

The agency says that’s one of the highest annual totals for crossings in the past decade.
