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...

 Amnesty International Urges Nigerian Government To Rescue 37 Kaduna Abductees After 104 Days In Captivity


Amnesty International has called on the Nigerian government to urgently intensify efforts to rescue 37 people abducted by gunmen from Ariko village in Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State, 104 days after they were taken captive.


In a statement, the human rights organization expressed concern over the prolonged captivity of the victims, warning that they face serious risks, including torture, starvation, amputation, rape, and other forms of abuse if urgent action is not taken.


The victims were abducted on Easter Sunday, April 5, 2026, when gunmen reportedly attacked churches in Ariko village. 


The attack claimed the lives of at least seven people, while 37 others mostly women and children were taken away by the assailants.


According to Amnesty International, relatives of those still in captivity said they have been abandoned by the government, citing a lack of information on efforts being made to secure the safe release of their loved ones.


The organization urged the authorities to ensure the immediate and safe return of the abductees and to bring those responsible for the attack to justice.


Amnesty International also said the continued failure of Nigerian authorities to protect communities from such attacks and secure the release of abducted persons amounts to a breach of the government's human rights obligations under the Nigerian Constitution and the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights, to which Nigeria is a state party.


The rights group renewed its call for urgent action, saying the people of Ariko deserve answers and the safe return of their loved ones after more than three months in captivity.
