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.

 Spanish Prime Minister Proposes Property Purchase Ban for Nigerians and other Non-EU Nationals to Combat Rising Housing Costs 


Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has proposed a ban on property purchases by non-EU nationals in Spain as part of efforts to tackle rising housing costs.


Speaking at a rally in Plasencia, western Spain, on Sunday, Sanchez announced, “We will propose banning non-EU foreigners who are not residents, along with their families, from buying property here, as they are doing so to speculate.”


Earlier, on 13 January, Sanchez presented a plan to impose a tax of up to 100% on property purchases by non-EU nationals, such as Nigerians, who do not live in Spain. This is part of broader measures aimed at increasing the housing supply and controlling demand.


A source close to Sanchez clarified that the ban is still under discussion, with the main focus currently on discouraging non-resident purchases through higher taxes.


Spain is grappling with a housing shortage, exacerbated by gentrification and the influx of tourism, with the Central Bank predicting a 500,000-house shortfall this year.
