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.

 OCHA Brigade Arrests 13 people Over Illegal Kaolin Excavation In Ozubulu, Ukpor


Operation Clean and Healthy Anambra (OCHA) Brigade has arrested 13 suspects in Ozubulu, Ekwusigo Local Government Area, and Ukpor, Nnewi South Local Government Area, over illegal kaolin excavation and activities linked to severe environmental degradation in Anambra State.


The arrests followed a targeted enforcement operation at identified excavation sites where indiscriminate removal of soil had been taking place, and the affected locations were immediately sealed to halt further damage and prevent the expansion of erosion-prone areas.


Illegal excavation has been identified as a major driver of erosion in Anambra State, weakening soil structure, destroying farmlands, and exposing communities to flooding and gully erosion.


The activities also pose long-term risks to infrastructure, livelihoods, and environmental sustainability if left unchecked.


The Managing Director of the OCHA Brigade, Comrade Celestine Anere, said the agency has strengthened its enforcement strategy against practices that undermine public safety and environmental protection.


He confirmed that the suspects would be prosecuted in accordance with the law as part of efforts to deter similar offences across the state.


Comrade Anere restated the brigade’s resolve to protect government lands and properties, enforce environmental regulations, and support state policies aimed at sustainable development, emphasizing that sustained enforcement remains critical to reducing erosion and safeguarding communities across Anambra State.
