At least 56 people have drowned in two separate incidents on August 9th and 10th, and dozens remain missing, after human traffickers forced some 300 African migrants off two Yemen-bound boats and into the sea. Survivors -- all Ethiopian and Somali migrants -- managed to make their way to Shabwa, a southern province along Yemen's Arabian Sea coastline, the International Organization for Migration said.
