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...

 Threads introduces ‘ghost posts’ that vanish after 24 hours

Threads, Meta’s competitor to X, is rolling out a new “disappearing posts” feature called “ghost posts,” allowing its 400 million monthly users to share content that automatically vanishes after 24 hours. The feature launched Monday for users worldwide and is aimed at encouraging more casual, low-pressure sharing.

To create a ghost post, users toggle the “ghost” icon on the app’s compose screen. Posts appear in others’ timelines with a dotted conversation bubble for distinction. Replies from other users are sent directly to the poster’s DMs rather than appearing in the timeline. Only the poster can see the full count of likes and replies, which are represented by smiley-face icons to others. After 24 hours, posts disappear from the feed but remain accessible to the poster in the app’s archived section. The company notes that message request settings determine whether replies from non-followers go to the poster’s inbox or are blocked.

Meta said the feature draws on the popularity of disappearing content seen in Instagram and Facebook Stories, hoping ghost posts will inspire unfiltered thoughts, live threading, or experimental content. This follows prior attempts by other platforms to offer ephemeral posts, such as Twitter’s Fleets in 2020, which were later discontinued. Since its July 2023 launch, Threads has rapidly expanded, adding custom feeds, DMs, Fediverse connectivity, longer text support, spoiler-hiding tools, and interest-based communities.
