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.

 Anambra Poll: IPC faults late arrival of INEC


The International Press Centre (IPC) has raised concerns over the late deployment of some INEC officials in Onitsha, which it said, created apprehension among voters.


Lanre Arogundade of IPC reported that some officials had to relocate from the INEC office due to inadequate facilities. “At 8:30 a.m., officials were just about to leave for polling units. This delay is worrisome,” he said.


He noted that the first set of officials arrived at some polling units at 7:07 a.m., while others reached as late as 8:10 a.m. By 8:30 a.m., they had completed preparations, pasted voter registers, and were ready to start voting.


“These delays at the start of accreditation can create uncertainty. We hope officials arrive at all units on time,” Arogundade added

He also noted that no major incidents had occurred, but BVAS malfunctions could undermine credibility. Meanwhile, Situation Room observer Dimma Nwobi alleged vote-buying in some areas.


EFCC officials were seen monitoring locations following these reports. Residents also reported minor BVAS issues as voting began.
