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.

 Brazil’president  Lula presses Putin to join peace talks with Zelensky


Brazil’s president said Wednesday he will press Vladimir Putin in person to attend negotiations with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky in Turkey, adding to calls on the Russian leader to enter talks and end Moscow’s invasion.


Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva will stop over in the Russian capital on the way back to Brazil following the conclusion of a regional forum in China.


“I’ll try to talk to Putin,” Lula said at a press conference in Beijing ahead of his departure.


“It costs me nothing to say, ‘hey, comrade Putin, go to Istanbul and negotiate, dammit'”, he said.


The negotiations scheduled for Thursday in Istanbul would be the first direct talks between Kyiv and Moscow since 2022, shortly after Russia’s full-scale invasion of its neighbour.


Lula’s comments come after the Ukrainian foreign minister on Tuesday urged Brazil to use its influence with Russia and make a meeting between Putin and Zelensky happen.


They also come after Brazil and China issued a joint statement Tuesday calling for direct negotiations as the “only way to end the conflict”.


Zelensky on Tuesday urged US President Donald Trump — currently on a tour of Middle Eastern countries — to also visit Turkey and participate in talks.


The Kremlin has not yet specified whether Putin will attend in person, stating only that the “Russian delegation will be present”.
