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...

 Kano High Court Grants Interim Injunction Restraining Media Outlets from Publishing Terrorism Allegations Against Defence Minister Bello Matawalle


The Kano State High Court on Wednesday granted an interim order restraining Sahara Reporters, Mikiya Communications, activist Omoyele Sowore, and several other media organisations from further publishing or circulating reports linking the Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Bello Matawalle, to terrorist groups.


The ex-parte order was issued in Suit No. K/745/2025 following an application filed by Matawalle’s legal team earlier the same day.


The court barred the defendants, their agents, and privies from releasing any additional stories or materials alleging that the minister has connections with terrorist organisations pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice.


The minister’s lawsuit described the recent publications as “false, malicious, and defamatory,” claiming they lack evidential foundation and are capable of misleading the public while causing irreparable damage to his reputation.


The allegations, which surfaced in multiple online reports in recent weeks, had generated intense public debate, particularly after President Bola Tinubu reassigned portfolios in the defence sector, moving former Minister Bashir Magashi and appointing General Christopher Musa as Chief of Defence Staff.


Neither the defendants nor their representatives were present when the interim order was granted.


A date for the hearing of the substantive motion has not yet been fixed by the court.


The development marks the latest instance of high-ranking Nigerian officials resorting to legal action to counter what they describe as unsubstantiated media attacks on their character.
