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...

 ‘They started dirty December in November’ — Lere Olayinka mocks PDP over Wike’s expulsion


Lere Olayinka, the media aide to Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), has described the ongoing national convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as a “social party”. 

On Saturday, at the PDP national convention taking place in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital, the opposition party expelled Wike and 10 other members.

Some names on the expulsion list include Samuel Anyanwu, PDP’s suspended national secretary, and Ayo Fayose, former governor of Ekiti.

However, in a statement on Saturday evening, Olayinka said those present at the convention decided to “start dirty December in November”, adding that “one can’t but ignore whatever comes out of their mouths”.

The FCT minister’s spokesperson added that the decisions made at the event were irrelevant, noting that “they are free to say anything.”

“They went to Ibadan to start dirty December in November,” the statement reads.

“When people decided to start their own dirty December in November, one can’t but ignore whatever comes out of their mouths. They are free to say anything.”

In recent months, the Wike-led PDP faction had sought to halt the convention through the courts, but the party secured a high court judgement in Oyo allowing the event to proceed.
