2010-08-09 Jemen: Suunnitelma: Somaleille ei automaattista turvapaikkastatusta

[kohmelo]

Viimeiset 20 vuotta somalialaiset ovat saaneet Jemenissä automattisen turvapaikkasatuksen.

Jemenin hallituksen mukaan joukossa on elintason perässä tulevia joille ei tulisi antaa pakolaisstatusta sekä Al-qaedan kannattajia jotka pyrkivät horjuttamaan Jemenin hallintoa.

UNHCR mukaan on liian aikaista kommentoida Jemenin hallituksen pakolaispolitiikan muutossuunnitelmia.

Yemen: Somalis set to lose automatic refugee status

Sanaa, 9 August (AKI) - Source IRIN - Straining to cope with the number of Somalis arriving by boat, Yemen is seeking to end the prima facie refugee status (automatic asylum) it has been giving them for the past 20 years.

The government says some are economic migrants and should not be granted automatic refugee status, while others are militants seeking to join Al-Qaeda groups to destabilise the country.

"Not all Somalis are fleeing conflict. Many are immigrants who come from safe regions such as Bosasso [port in the Puntland region of northern Somalia] in search of better economic opportunities," Essam al-Mahbashi, a subcommittee member of the National Committee for Refugee Affairs (NCRA), told IRIN.

He said the emergence of extremist groups in Somalia, such as Al-Shabab, is one of the reasons why Yemen wants to scrap the prima facie refugee status policy.

"Members of these groups want to enter Yemen to help the Al-Qaeda organisation in its plots that target national security and stability," al-Mahbashi said.
