(Nov 11, 2013, (Arabian Business))--The Ethiopian government has described violence in relation to a crackdown on illegal workers in Saudi Arabia as “unacceptable” and called on the Saudi government to intervene. Saudi police have admitted shooting dead an Ethiopian man during a raid last week that rounded up hundreds of suspected illegal residents and transported them to a detention centre to await deportation.
Two other people died during a riot against the crackdown on Saturday night. One of the dead was a Saudi man hit in the head with a rock, while the other person’s identity has not been revealed but is believed to be an illegal resident.
