Sudan deports 70 Ethiopian illegal immigrants
By Tesfa-Alem Tekle
April 26, 2011 (ADDIS ABABA) – Sudan has deported some 70 Ethiopian illegal immigrants to their home country, according to Ethiopian ministry of foreign affairs.
The illegal immigrants who have been in detention were returned home this week with the help of Ethiopian embassy in Khartoum. The Immigrants have arrived home in land transport via Metema town near the borders to Sudan.
The Ministry said among the returnees 30 of them were women.
During the past few years, thousands of Ethiopians mainly women have been flocking to Sudan seeking lucrative job. However many have returned home realizing it was a false information.
Hoping to find good jobs, others have headed their way to South Africa risking their life in a long route. In the middle of these attempts a lot of them get arrested, prosecuted, deported or become legion where they get stacked.
Ethiopia is a land locked country and illegal migrants use neighboring countries as a start to head their way for their destination.

Sudan deports 70 Ethiopian illegal immigrants
This number seems to be very small incompare with the southerners who live in north Sudan and will become illegal immigrants after July 7th.
We expect to deport around one million and half a million southerners to south Sudan new state, they have no right to stay in the north, more importantly, we do not want them to continue be treated as second class citizen in the north and we will deport them where they will find freedom, security, equality, fairness, easy life and pradise!!
We will deport southerners for free and will be responsible of deportation cost.
Good luck Jonobean!
