Today, Nahari is under threat of losing his job and being deported to his hometown in the Raymah Governorate of Yemen due to a new Saudi regulation placing limits on the percentage of Yemeni, Indian, Bangladeshi, and Ethiopian workers at establishments in four provinces near the border with Yemen - in an effort to reduce the unemployment rate of 11.7% among Saudi citizens, and out of security considerations.

Nahari said he received a notice from his employer informing him of the new rules and that he could be laid off and deported at any time.

“I do not know what the problem is,” he told The Media Line about the surprise government decision. “I have been working here for 12 years; everyone knows me and they became my friends here.”

“I am afraid that I will not get another job. I fear that poverty will strike my family if I return to Yemen,” Nahari said.

Dr. Fouad al-Baadani (not his real name) is a Yemeni academic who has been working at Saudi Arabia’s Najran University for the past three years along with more than a hundred other Yemeni academics and staff.

“I don’t mind the kingdom taking any measure that guarantees its security, but we reside here on a legal basis and we were recruited from Yemeni universities to teach here, and we wind up getting treated in this way,” he told The Media Line.
