Ethiopians on
death row in Saudi Arabia's Khamis Mushait detention centre speak to
MEE about their plight.
In Saudi
Arabia’s Khamis Mushait detention facility, hundreds of Ethiopian
prisoners are held on death row in harrowing conditions, waiting in
fear of their eventual execution.
On 21 April,
the shouts of the guards echoed through the overcrowded prison in
Aseer province as they came to read out the names of those scheduled
to be executed.
Three
Ethiopians were taken away to their fate.
Hailay Berhane,
a migrant from the Gulomahda district of northern Ethiopia’s Tigray
region, is being held in Khamis Mushait. He told Middle East Eye what
happened using the messaging app Imo. Like other prisoners MEE
communicated with for this article, his name has been changed.
“Guards came
early in the morning in a rush, handed cards to three of the
Ethiopian migrants among us and took them away,” he said.
“Two hours
later, the same guards came back and told us that the three migrants
had been beheaded and warned us that is what awaited us all.”
Ephrem Kidane,
another death row prisoner, also saw his friends taken away. After
they were executed, he told MEE, the guards wrapped their lifeless
bodies in their blankets.
Kibrom
Gebremariam, Tsigabu Hagos and Kidane Angesom were executed. They
were young men who had fled to Saudi Arabia from war-ravaged Tigray,
where the humanitarian situation remains dire.
The three
Tigrayans had crossed the Gulf of Aden and travelled through Yemen to
Saudi Arabia, seeking work. They carried khat, the plant chewed as a
mild stimulant in large parts of east Africa, with them.
According to
Human Rights Watch, Saudi security authorities arrested the three
Ethiopians between 2023 and 2024, accused them of drug-related
offences, and moved them between various detention centres until they
ended up in Khamis Mushait.
On 23 June,
five more Ethiopian nationals were executed, among many foreigners
accused of non-violent drug crimes by Saudi authorities. Multiple
sources said the prisoners admitted to the crimes, fearing that if
they did not, they would simply be executed without legal assistance.
The migrants
were forced to sign documents in Arabic without understanding their
content and, in some cases, were beaten by security forces, said
Berhane.
“They
handed me 41kg of drugs and forced me to believe it was mine and made
me sign documents that I don’t even understand what they were
saying in Arabic,” he told MEE, recalling the moment he was caught
by Saudi security men three years ago.
He was in the
deadly border region between Yemen and Saudi Arabia known as Rago.
It’s a place that has become known for the brutal apprehension of
migrants, with human rights organisations highlighting accusations
that Saudi border guards have fired indiscriminately on them.
“In the past
three years, I appeared in court three times for a very short period,
all without an interpreter,” Berhane said, describing how difficult
it was to present his case and prove his innocence.
“Foreign
nationals who are on death row in Saudi Arabia are, most of the time,
subjected to grossly unfair trials,” said Yared Hailemariam, an
Ethiopian human rights advocate.
Almost 100
executions in Saudi Arabia this year
Saudi
authorities have executed almost 100 people so far this year,
including at least 61 for drug-related offences, according to a new
report from Amnesty International.
“Foreign
nationals have borne the brunt of Saudi Arabia’s ruthless use of
the death penalty for drug-related offences, frequently after grossly
unfair trials,” the report said.
Amnesty said
that it was “profoundly alarming” that at least 63 Ethiopian
nationals are being held in a single ward of Khamis Mushait, and that
they were at “imminent risk of execution solely for drug-related
offences”.
According to
local officials, local civil society organisations and human rights
defenders who spoke with MEE, as many as 200 Ethiopian citizens are
currently on death row awaiting execution in Saudi Arabia. Many
prisoners say the figures could be higher.
“There are
many migrants in all six prison blocks here in Saudi Arabia,”
Berhane said. “In the Khamis Mushait detention facility there are
58 Ethiopian migrants, and most are from Tigray, uprooted by constant
conflict and crises, and dwindling humanitarian support.”
Speaking on a
phone smuggled into the detention centre, with security cameras
following his every move, the Ethiopian prisoner said he wonders how
long he has left to live.
“Every time
the security guards knock on the door, we feel that our names will be
called and we will become another figure among many who are wrongly
accused like myself, whose plea goes on unnoticed,” Kidane, another
prisoner, told MEE.
Kibrom
Gebremariam, 30, was among the Ethiopian migrants executed at Khamis
Mushait detention facility for drug-related offences on 21 April.
News of
Kibrom’s death shocked his parents in the Egela district of Tigray,
from where many young people migrate to Saudi Arabia.
Of the family’s
seven children, two had already made the hazardous journey across the
Gulf of Aden and then through war-torn Yemen.
Kibrom's older
brother, Merhawi, who migrated illegally to Yemen in 2020, was killed
by security forces three years ago. Migration has now claimed two
children from this family.
“Illegal
migration took our children. We anticipated Kibrom’s wedding, not
his death. His murder has become an open wound for us,” his
heartbroken mother, Gimja Gebremariam, told MEE at her home in
Tigray.
Tears filled
her eyes as she explained that nowadays, she prays that Saudi
authorities will release the corpse of her child, so that he can be
properly buried. This remains a distant dream for her and many
parents like her, who have been forced to mourn without a proper
burial.
When Kibrom
travelled through Somalia, across the sea and through Yemen into
Saudi Arabia 12 years ago, he dreamed of a life far away from the
reality of his village, where prospects were scarce.
He knew he was
taking a risk, but he never imagined that he would be thrown in
prison and left there for 11 years before being executed, his father,
Gebremariam Gebrezgiabher, said.
He had been
waiting for his son’s release from prison for years. Instead, he
received news that Kibrom had been executed. The shock has left him
bedridden.
The 30-year-old
Kibrom last spoke to his father on 20 April at midday, a day before
his death. Via the Imo messaging app, he assured his father that he
would return soon and be reunited with his family.
His death was
later confirmed by other prisoners, who sent a voice message saying
Kibrom had been beheaded.
“It was very
hard to hear of his death as a father, especially how he was killed,”
Gebrezgiabher, now a frail 60-year-old, told MEE. “His death has
killed a part of me and is made worse by the fact that I have nothing
to bury.”
'He wanted to
live a productive life'
One of Kibrom’s
cellmates, Tsigabu Hagos, was also executed.
Hagos was the
only son of eight children from a family whose livelihood is based on
agriculture. In 2020, he made it to Saudi Arabia travelling through
Somalia and Yemen. He wanted to stay there or go on to Europe, his
father, Hagos Gebremeskel, said.
“He wanted to
have his own business, be self-sufficient and live a productive
life,” Gebremeskel told MEE, as he glanced at his 26-year-old son’s
portrait on his mobile phone.
His mother,
Letekristos Gebretsadkan, recalled what Tsigabu told her after
reaching Saudi Arabia. He said he’d make her proud and promised to
support his younger sisters.
Gebremeskel,
who had previously been in Saudi Arabia in his early 20s and knew the
risk of a drug offence, said he didn’t think his son was involved
in such a trade, given his experience.
“I wasn’t
shocked when he was arrested. I was hoping he would eventually be
released as he was innocent,” the father said.
“I never
thought they would kill my son,” Letekristos lamented. She said she
was consoled by her husband. She wondered how much their son had been
tortured before he was killed, if the family would ever get justice,
if they would at least get the body of their son back.
Masho Hagos,
his sister, said her brother’s fate would not deter her from going
to Saudi Arabia. The 20-year-old is still a high school student
because she had to suspend her studies because of the brutal Tigray
war.
War and
economic crisis in Tigray
Since the
Tigray war officially ended in 2022, the region has been a little
more stable, though the humanitarian situation remains dire. Hundreds
of thousands of people died in the war, which also displaced
millions.
Many young
people continue to flee the region as fear of yet another conflict -
this time a proxy war involving Eritrea – remains.
High
unemployment rates, a collapsed wartime economy and recurring
conflict lead them to take the dangerous journey to Saudi Arabia or
Europe.
“Political
instability, armed conflict and economic crisis are the major factors
affecting the life of Ethiopian youths,” said Hailemariam, the
Ethiopian human rights expert. “They are also forcefully recruited
for military training and deployed as soldiers for both internal
conflicts and cross-border war.”
Christian
bishops from the Catholic and Orthodox churches in Tigray have
appealed to Saudi Arabia to show clemency for the 200 prisoners in
the kingdom. The president of the Tigray region has done the same.
“Saudi
Arabia’s willingness to execute foreign migrants for non-violent
offences following trials that denied them basic due process reflects
a profound disregard for their rights and lives,” said Nadia
Hardman, senior refugee and migrant rights researcher at Human Rights
Watch. “Saudi Arabia’s partners should urgently intervene before
it is too late.”
Back in the
village of Egela, Kibrom’s father is heartbroken, hoping other
parents won’t have to go through the nightmare of hearing that
their child has been killed in a Saudi prison.
He hopes such
tragedies will stop before the lives of too many more young
Ethiopians are shattered as they look for a future in richer
countries.
“That must
end,” he said, whispering in a voice that could barely be heard,
overwhelmed by the sorrow that comes from losing a child.

Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis
Homosexuality

“AS IT WAS IN THE
DAYS OF SODOM…”
The image compares Genesis
19 and Romans 1. Biblically, both passages reveal what happens when
mankind rejects God’s truth, embraces sinful lusts, and refuses
repentance.
Genesis — Sodom’s
Historical Judgment
In Genesis 19, the city of
Sodom became full of wickedness, violence, pride, and sexual
immorality. The men of the city rejected righteousness and mocked the
warnings of God. Judgment finally came by fire from heaven.
“Then the LORD rained
upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of
heaven.”
— Genesis 19:24
Sodom was not destroyed
because of one sin only, but because of continual rebellion against
God. Their hearts were hardened, and they would not repent.
The Bible also says:
“Behold, this was the
iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fullness of bread, and abundance
of idleness was in her…”
Ezekiel 16:49
Pride always comes before
destruction. When people celebrate sin instead of repenting of it,
judgment follows.
Romans — The Moral
Decline of a Godless World
Romans 1 describes a
society that knows about God but chooses to reject Him. Instead of
worshiping the Creator, people worship pleasure, lust, self, and
corruption.
“Professing themselves
to be wise, they became fools.”
— Romans 1:22
Paul explains that when
people continually reject God’s truth, God gives them over to their
sinful desires.
“Wherefore God also gave
them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts…”
— Romans 1:24
And again:
“For this cause God gave
them up unto vile affections…”
— Romans 1:26
The chapter is not merely
condemning one group of sinners — it is exposing the fallen
condition of all humanity apart from Christ. Romans 3 later says:
“For all have sinned,
and come short of the glory of God.”
— Romans 3:23
Every sinner — whether
guilty of pride, fornication, drunkenness, lying, homosexuality,
adultery, hatred, or unbelief — needs repentance and salvation
through Jesus Christ.
God’s Judgment Is
Real — But So Is God’s Mercy
Before Sodom was
destroyed, God sent messengers and gave warning. Even today, God
still calls sinners to repentance.
“The Lord is… not
willing that any should perish, but that all should come to
repentance.”
— 2 Peter 3:9
Jesus Christ came not only
to warn of judgment, but to save sinners.
“For God so loved the
world, that he gave his only begotten Son…”
— John 3:16
The Gospel is not “hate.”
The Gospel is a call to repent, believe on Christ, and be transformed
by the power of God.
“Such were some of you:
but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the
name of the Lord Jesus…”
— 1 Corinthians 6:11
(KJV)
That means no sinner is
beyond forgiveness if they truly repent and trust in Jesus Christ.
Final Exhortation
The message of Genesis 19
and Romans 1 is not merely:
• “Look how wicked
society is.”
The real message is:
• “Turn to God before
judgment comes.”
Jesus Himself warned:
“Except ye repent, ye
shall all likewise perish.”
— Luke 13:3 (KJV)
Now is the time to seek
the Lord, walk in holiness, reject pride and immorality, and believe
the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

'Pride' parade in Paris has been canceled due to the ongoing
heatwave, organizers said on Friday, citing health risks.
They said they
are looking to reschedule the LGBTQ+ event for September. According
to the organizers, around 500,000 people took part in last year's
Pride parade.
To
avoid placing a further strain on health services, France's Interior
Minister Laurent Nuñez has recommended that local prefects should
ban the sale and consumption of alcohol in public - except for
outdoor areas of cafés or restaurants.
The ministry
said alcohol increases health risks in hot weather. It is also
advisable to restrict alcohol consumption given the high number of
drowning deaths, it added.
Paris has
already imposed such a ban on alcohol until Sunday morning, with
large parts of France remaining under a red heat warning - the
highest level.

Ximena Borrazás Records
The Horrific Injuries Sustained By Survivors of Sexual Violence in
The War Zones of Tigray And Ukraine
On
March 21 2020, during a parliamentary session in which he was
questioned on sexual violence in Tigray, the evil Nobel Genocide
Laureate Abiy Ahmed replied: “The women in Tigray? These women have
only been penetrated by men, whereas our soldiers were penetrated by
a knife”
😈
Disgusting
evil! 😈
By Diane Smyth, June 29,
2026
Uruguayan photographer
Ximena Borrazás records the horrific injuries sustained by victims
of sexual violence in the war zones of Tigray and Ukraine who have
little hope of ever finding justice.
“I don’t want to be a
photographer,” says Ximena Borrazás. “I mean, it’s totally
fine to be a photographer, to travel, take photographs, and sell your
material, but I want to be much more than that. When I return home
[after photographic trips], I feel guilty because I’m so lucky. I’m
a migrant, but I’m a lucky migrant – I got to choose where to go,
when to go, how to go, and a safe way to go. So many people don’t
have that opportunity, so I feel I have a duty to try to help those
in vulnerable situations.”
Born in Uruguay, Borrazás
worked in PR and marketing before “realising I was not contributing
to making a better world” and taking a short course in photography.
Quickly feeling she had found her medium, she moved to Barcelona to
study it further and is now based permanently in the city. She has
built an award-winning portfolio, working with organisations such as
National Geographic, Al Jazeera and Unesco, and winning awards and
grants such as the Tom Stoddart Award in 2024 (organised by the Ian
Parry Photojournalism Grant).
“She started crying,
asking me to help because no one was talking about it. She said, ’You
are our hope’, and from that moment I started going deep, deep,
deep” – Ximena Borrazás.
Her ongoing project The
Scars of the War focuses on sexual violence in armed conflict, and so
far includes chapters on Tigray, in Ethiopia, and Ukraine; she also
plans to add work from the Swana region, from Syria and maybe Iraq,
in a bid to show how common such assaults are in war. Though
widespread, they are taboo and seldom acknowledged; and Borrazás
herself admits she knew little about these crimes before going to
Tigray.
Encouraged by a friend who
told her she “could be helpful there”, she went to the Ethiopian
region in 2024, initially planning to show the lasting impact of the
devastating two-year civil war, which had started in 2020. But while
visiting a camp for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), she was
flagged down by a rape survivor. “She started crying, asking me to
help because no one was talking about it,” says Borrazás. “She
said, ’You are our hope’, and from that moment I started going
deep, deep, deep.”
The IDP camp afforded little
privacy so survivors seldom spoke up there, wary of the stigma they
suffer alongside their experiences; instead Borrazás moved to the
One Stop Center, a specialist unit at Ayder Hospital, Mekele, which
has treated some 7000 survivors of sexual violence. Working in a
small room with a nurse accompanying her, Borrazás spoke with
individuals, recording and filming their conversations so that they
might one day be used as testimony. She also photographed some
survivors, making portraits protecting their identity.
On the last day of her first
trip, the nurse in charge of the centre, Sister Mulu, invited her to
photograph objects removed from the women’s wombs; including rusty
screws and even nail clippers, these objects were inserted in a
deliberate attempt to render them infertile. Written messages also
forced into their bodies make this intention clear, and Borrazás
photographed them too. “Sons of Eritrea, we are brave,” reads
one. “We have committed ourselves to this, and we will continue
doing it. We will make Tigrayan females infertile. We are still
determined to retaliate for 1998.”
Before going to Tigray
Borrazás contacted big media organisations, trying to place a story
about the postwar situation and displaced citizens. But she was told
that titles did not publish work from war zones by freelancers, or
that a story from Africa was “not relevant enough”. Eventually
German newspaper DW backed her, but then, when she published her
images online, she was accused of lying and creating propaganda.
Determined to corroborate her collaborators’ stories, she returned
to the hospital and asked to photograph X-rays of the objects in the
women’s bodies; and in doing so, found she created something more
universal or ’relevant’.
“An X-ray is something you
can’t deny,” she explains. “But when I published these images,
in The Guardian and on social media, the response was crazy. So many
people from around the world got in touch asking how they could help
or donate. I realised it’s because an X-ray is in black-and-white
and only reveals the anatomy. It doesn’t show an individual’s
skin colour, or how they are dressed, or their religion, so people
relate to it differently.”
This realisation encouraged
Borrazás to take a similar approach in Ukraine, which she has now
visited seven times; her work from this conflict combines portraits
with medical images, and even survivors’ own shots of their
injuries. In Ukraine she has also found male survivors of sexual
violence, whereas in Tigray, if such individuals exist, they are not
speaking up. Some of the male survivors in Ukraine even want to show
their faces in her images, reasoning they now have “nothing to
fear”, and that doing so can break the silence and the taboo, and
help others.
“One of them told me that,
when he got his freedom, he went to the hospital and they only had
gynaecologists to treat him,” says Borrazás. “There are no
professionals for men [trained in treating sexual abuse] because no
one even considers that these things can happen. So some of them
don’t even have medical records.”
Borrazás believes all
sexual violence survivors deserve justice, and hopes that, in
addition to raising awareness, she can collect evidence and
testimonies that might one day be used in courts of law. “My aim is
to contribute,” she says, “to obtain justice and accountability.”
We can see a
handwritten note by the evil soldiers of
the fascist Oromo Islamic regime of Ethiopia, like in many
situations, disguising themselves as Eritrean soldiers to spread
strife among brothers, extracted from the genitals of a rape
survivor. The text reads: “Sons of Eritrea, we are brave. We have
committed ourselves to this, and we will continue doing it. We will
make Tigrayan females infertile. We are still determined to retaliate
for 1998”, Mekele, Tigray, May 2024.
