Amb. Dahir: I would like to start to clarify the whole issue. The workers going to Saudi Arabia are not only women. It is open for both men and women, but it will depend on the nature of the work and the demand level inside the Kingdom. The only thing that is new is that King Salman allowed us [Somalia] to become one of the countries exporting workers to Saudi Arabia. For a long time, we have been locked out of this opportunity to send any workers to the Kingdom. Saudi Arabia accepts 1.5 million workers from foreign countries every year.
