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...

FEDERAL GOVT TO LET JOURNALISTS JOIN TROOPS DURING MILITARY OPERATIONS. (PHOTO).


 The Federal Government is considering a new initiative that would allow journalists to accompany military personnel during selected operations as part of efforts to improve security reporting and deepen public understanding of the country's security challenges.


The Minister of Defence, Christopher Musa, disclosed the proposal on Thursday at the National Security Summit organised by the Nigeria Union of Journalists in Abuja.


Represented by his Special Adviser, Olusanya Bankole, Musa said the planned arrangement would strengthen collaboration between the media and security agencies while promoting transparency in military operations.


According to the minister, the media plays a critical role in shaping public perception of security operations and national stability, noting that modern security management extends beyond conventional warfare.


He explained that contemporary conflicts are increasingly driven by information and narratives, making the media a key stakeholder in Nigeria’s security architecture.


Musa stated that the effectiveness of security operations should not be measured solely by battlefield successes but also by the level of public confidence in security institutions.


“More than ever before, the media are not only enablers; they are stabilizers of government,” he said.


“The defence ministry is exploring arrangements to embed journalists with military units during operations to enable more accurate reporting and deeper understanding of operational realities.”


He said the proposal forms part of broader efforts by the ministry to improve engagement with journalists and ensure that information about military activities is accurately communicated to the public.


The minister expressed confidence that stronger cooperation between the media and security agencies would help build public trust and contribute to improved national security outcomes.


The proposed initiative comes as Nigeria continues to confront multiple security threats, including insurgency, banditry and other forms of violent crime.


Security agencies have frequently faced criticism over restricted access to operational areas, a situation that has often led to misinformation, conflicting reports and public skepticism regarding developments on various security fronts.
