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...

‘No retirement’ – Ndoma-Egba vows to stay in politics

Former Senate Majority Leader, Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba, has made it clear that retirement from politics is not an option for him.
Speaking in an interview in Calabar, the three-term senator expressed his delight in Governor Bassey Otu’s efforts to revamp Cross River State after what he described as eight years of governance experiments.
“The administration of Senator Bassey Otu is resetting governance to the traditional methods we are familiar with,” he said.
“The last eight years were an experiment with different styles, many of which lacked empirical studies. Now, Otu is bringing governance back to what we were taught in school,” he said.
Ndoma-Egba dismissed speculation about his withdrawal from politics, insisting that his role transcends holding elective or appointive office.
“You don’t need to hold an office to speak for your people,” he stated, citing examples like Chief Edwin Clark, who remained politically active for decades without holding a position.
“God didn’t take me this far for me to stay quiet- it’s too late for that,” he stated.
Reflecting on his 2019 Senate bid, he recalled a conversation where someone suggested he was too old for politics.
But Ndoma-Egba responded “My classmates who are still in service, Justices of the Supreme Court, haven’t retired. Even university professors are still teaching.”
While he remains uncertain about 2027, Ndoma-Egba emphasized that his journey in politics has never followed a strict plan.
“I will still be speaking for my people— whether from the palace or from the trenches,” he declared.
