The International Organization for Migration (IOM) confirmed that the migrants who flew back home, were gathered by Tanzanian authorities as they embarked on a failed trip to South Africa.
The IOM added: "This assistance was provided in close coordination with the governments of Somalia and Tanzania and will enable the Somali returnees to build a future back home."
