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...

KUKAH HAS CHANGED POLITICALLY, OWES BUHARI APOLOGY – FR KELVIN. (PHOTO).


 Kukah has changed politically, owes Buhari apology – Fr Kelvin


A missionary Catholic priest working in Gambia, Rev. Fr. Kelvin Ugwu, has said that Bishop Matthew Kukah of the Sokoto Diocese has become “politically different” from the outspoken cleric he used to be.

Ugwu stated this in a Facebook post on Saturday while reacting to the recent controversy surrounding Bishop Kukah’s comments on alleged persecution of Christians in Nigeria.

According to him, many Nigerians have been cautious in reacting to Kukah’s remarks because of the bishop’s long-standing reputation, but his recent stance shows a shift from his previous principles.

“The truth of the matter is that we are tiptoeing on this issue because the person involved is Bishop Kukah. I bet you, if it were another person, I know what we would have written,” Ugwu wrote.

“As much as I love Bishop Kukah and have been greatly inspired by him over the years, I can say that having followed him for a long time now and having taken time to analyse his ‘then’ and his ‘now’, the Kukah we have now is a different one politically.”

The priest accused Bishop Kukah of failing to apply the same standards of criticism to the current administration that he used against late former President Muhammadu Buhari.

“All the things he criticised the previous government for, we are experiencing the worst of them under the present administration. If he wants to start giving this administration some understanding and sympathy, I think the best place to begin is to apologise to others for not giving them the same understanding, especially Buhari.

“And even more is the fact that this government came into power in one of the most rigged elections in Nigeria, with INEC going back on their words on the use of BVAS. To me, it doesn’t really matter what Tinubu does in office, unless we have to suddenly admit that the end now justifies the means,” Ugwu said.
