Almost a year after they were arrested and locked up in slave-camp like conditions in Saudi Arabia, tens of thousands of migrants will be repatriated to Ethiopia after a series of Telegraph investigations exposed the appalling conditions.
On Tuesday evening, the first group of 296 detainees was flown home to Addis Ababa. Photos published by Ethiopian state media show their joyous, exhausted faces as they marched off the plane.
