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.

  Alleged Terrorism: Kanu Declines To Enter Defence, Insists No Case Against Him. 


Nnamdi Kanu, has decided not to proceed with his initial plan to call witnesses to testify in his defense during his current trial for alleged terrorism charges.


Kanu had previously informed the court of his desire to summon witnesses by submitting a written request for witness summons. When the case was brought up on Monday, Kanu asserted that after reviewing the case file, he found no legitimate charges against him.


He asserted that, due to his belief that no legitimate charges have been brought against him and that he was subjected to an unfair trial, he sees no reason to present a defense.


Justice James Omotosho instructed him to submit a written statement addressing the matter and ensure it is delivered to the prosecution.


Justice Omotosho recommended that he seek guidance from criminal law specialists regarding the implications of the path he has selected.


The judge has adjourned proceedings to the 4th, 5th, and 6th of November to allow for the final written arguments to be presented. This decision follows the defendant's claim that neither the evidence presented nor the charges have proven any case against him, prompting a consideration of whether he needs to present a defense.
