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...

 KALGWAI FISHING FESTIVAL, GOVERNOR NAMADI UNVEILS PLAN TO EXPAND AQUACULTURE, BOOST FISH PRODUCTION


Governor Namadi has highlighted the expansion of aquaculture investment as a key pathway to improving livelihoods and increasing fish production, as Jigawa State hosted the 2026 Kalgwai Fishing Festival.


The one-day event, held at the Kalgwai Barrage Waterfront, brought together fishermen, farmers, community leaders, and stakeholders in a celebration that combined cultural heritage with economic focus.


A statement by Hamisu Mohammed Gumel,

Chief Press Secretary to the Governor indicates that speaking at the festival, Governor Namadi stressed that the event goes beyond tradition and plays a vital role in the state’s development agenda.


“For us, the Annual Kalgwai Fish Festival goes beyond cultural or historical celebrations. It is a bold initiative to ensure that fisheries development receives the highest priority,” he said.


He said that the state is already making steady progress in the fisheries sector through targeted interventions.


“A number of the water bodies in the state have been restocked in addition to the production of millions of fingerlings and support to fishermen through training and provision of modern fishing equipment.”


“These efforts are aimed at increasing fish production, improving livelihoods, and ensuring sustainable management of our aquatic resources.”


Governor Namadi also emphasized the importance of sustained investment, pointing to his administration’s commitment towards that in the current fiscal year.


“To sustain the momentum of progress, substantial provisions have been made in the 2026 Approved Estimate for all aspects of livestock development," he said, noting that this reflects “our unwavering commitment to transforming the sector through infrastructure development, capacity building, and strategic partnerships.”


Governor Namadi also used the occasion to point out the broader importance of the festival in fostering unity among communities.


“The vibrant celebrations of the festival also signify and promote a strong sense of unity among our people, whether as fishermen, herders, or farmers.”


He highlighted ongoing initiatives within the fisheries sector, including restocking of water bodies, capacity building for youth and women, and expanded fish production programmes.


Among these, he mentioned “the ongoing approval given by His Excellency to hatch 5 million fish to boost fish production in the state,” alongside plans to distribute modern fishing equipment to cooperatives and fishermen.


The Kalgwai Fishing Festival, first introduced in 2003 and revived by the present administration, continues to serve as a platform for promoting fisheries development, strengthening community ties, and advancing economic opportunities across Jigawa State.
