Yemen fighting pushes nearly 3,000 to Djibouti in less than a week: UN    Nearly 3,000 people have fled Yemen for Djibouti in less than a week as escalating violence drives growing displacement within the country and across its borders, the UN refugee agency said Friday. “Refugees continue to arrive by boat through Obock, Khor Angar, Moulhoule and Godoria after difficult journeys in small vessels,” UNHCR representative in Djibouti Sandrine Desamours told reporters in Geneva, Anadolu Agency reported. More than half of those crossing the Bab el-Mandeb Strait are women and children, while some families have been displaced for a second time after previously fleeing Yemen during the 2015 crisis and later returning. UNHCR is preparing for at least 10,000 new arrivals but warned that capacity is rapidly diminishing. Markazi refugee village, designed for 5,000 people, was already hosting more than 2,700 Yemenis and 1,500 Eritreans. More than 100,000 people have also been displaced ins...

 Fubara to pro-Wike lawmakers: You’re gone — I’m already preparing 2025 budget


Siminalayi Fubara, governor of Rivers, says he will soon present the 2025 appropriation bill to the state house of assembly.


Fubara was reacting to the seven-day ultimatum issued by members of the Rivers assembly loyal to Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT).


During plenary on Monday, the 27 lawmakers asked Fubara to resubmit the state’s 2024 budget within seven days.


The sitting followed a court of appeal judgment in Abuja dismissing the order of a Rivers high court which restrained the lawmakers from conducting legislative proceedings. 


The high court had restrained the lawmakers from carrying out legislative activities after they defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).


In December 2023, Fubara presented the state’s 2024 N800 billion budget estimate to the Edison Ehie-led faction of the house of assembly.


The Rivers governor presented the budget to five members of the Ehie-led faction amid the leadership crisis.


Twenty-four hours later, Fubara signed the 2024 appropriation bill.


The Rivers assembly has been polarised over a power tussle between Wike and Fubara to control the state’s political structure.


However, on Wednesday, Fubara said he had moved on with the 2024 budget.


“We all know how they crossed (join APC). And how did they cross? Because of our god. For them to make that mistake — they are gone, and they are gone,” Fubara said.


“When I wanted to help them — I accepted to help them because we are all one. We disagree to agree. They thought they were smart.


“What is holding them back is the declaration of their seat vacant, which was done in December 2023.


“For me, I have started preparing my budget for 2025, which I am going to present very soon.


“Don’t allow anybody to deceive you. They can come to the media and dance. When they go behind, they cry. It is the truth."
