At least 22 Somali migrants lost their lives when two boats carrying 70 passengers capsized off the coast of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. The incident, which occurred on an unspecified date, was confirmed by Somali Ambassador to Ethiopia and the African Union Abdullahi Warfa.

South African police have rescued 90 Ethiopian migrants who were being held against their will at a property in Johannesburg. The rescue operation, conducted on Sunday, followed a search for an individual reported missing and led to the discovery of the migrants, who were found locked in small rooms. Two suspects were arrested on charges of kidnapping and human trafficking, and the reported victim was also rescued. The migrants, believed to have been trafficked illegally, were taken to a hospital for medical care. The two suspects are set to face charges in court. Interpol and other authorities have raised alarms about the trafficking of Ethiopian migrants through several southern African countries on their way to South Africa, often enduring dangerous conditions. In recent years, there have been tragic incidents involving Ethiopian migrants, including the discovery of 64 bodies in a freight container in Mozambique in 2020, 30 bodies in a mass grave in Malawi in 2022, and 27 bodies found in Zambia that same year.
