Caught in Between
This study examines the experiences of transit or half‐way returnees along Ethiopia's eastern migration corridor—migrants who return from transit countries without reaching their intended destinations. Drawing on qualitative interviews with returnees from transit countries and Saudi Arabia, as well as key stakeholders, the study explores how migration trajectories shape return experiences and reintegration outcomes. The findings challenge linear …
IMR Country Report — The Changing Dynamics of International Migration in Ethiopia
Over the last 50 years, Ethiopia has experienced several socio-economic, environmental, and political crises, leading to significant migration internally and across borders. The IMR Country Report provides a concise overview of Ethiopia's migration history and the present state of international migration trends, which is a crucial migration hub in the Horn of Africa region. The report examines the changing dynamics of migration to, from, and thro…
Whose story? Unpacking migration narratives in the East and Horn of Africa
The mobility of people from the East and Horn of Africa (EHoA) is increasingly characterised by intra- and inter-regional movement. Drawing on interviews, content analysis, and literature review, this paper explores contrasting and overlapping narratives shaping migration governance and programming in the EHoA. It asks: What is the focus of migration governance narratives and their policy implications? Who shapes them and how? Although the trans-…

Growing literature, including those published in this journal, provide important insights into the complex dynamics of immigrants’ transnational engagement by comparing different migrant populations residing in the same host society. However, extant research that provides an in-depth investigation of the interplay and dynamics that exist within the same ethnic origin is either sketchy or non-existent. It is therefore imperative to collect as deta…
The dynamics of transnational family relations and remittance flow in Ethiopia
This paper examines the dynamics of family relations among Ethiopian transnational families with particular emphasis on how the use of communication media shapes remittance flows and helps maintain family ties. The study is grounded on a survey conducted on 544 households in Gondar, a northern Ethiopian city, which has been an important source of emigrants since the late 1970s, when the country's first wave of emigration occurred as a result of w…
