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...

 MILITANTS IN SOUTH EAST  BOW TO TROOPS' PRESSURE, SURRENDER ARMS AS ADDITIONAL WEAPONS ARE RECOVERED


The Nigerian Army has recorded another significant operational breakthrough in the South East as sustained offensive operations by troops of 82 Division/Joint Task Force South East, Operation UDO KA (OPUK), compelled members of a militant group to voluntarily surrender arms, while separate intelligence-led operations resulted in the recovery of additional weapons and an Improvised Explosive Device (IED). The latest successes further underscore the effectiveness of the Nigerian Army's integrated kinetic and non-kinetic approach in dismantling criminal networks and restoring lasting peace and security across the region.


The breakthrough followed sustained operational pressure mounted by troops of 34 Artillery Brigade and the recent arrest of suspects linked to the killing of a soldier. Unable to withstand the relentless military offensive, members of a militant group operating within Egbema and its environs voluntarily began surrendering their weapons. One of the  suspects who disclosed the location where the group's weapons had been concealed and hidden, led security team to exhume the  site.


 Items recovered include one AK-47 rifle, two AK-47 magazines, 54 rounds of 7.62 mm Special ammunition and four locally fabricated firearms.


In a related development, troops of Sector 5 OPUK, acting on credible intelligence, conducted a follow-up operation that led to the successful recovery of two General Purpose Machine Guns (GPMGs), 45 rounds of 7.62 mm x 51 ammunition and one Improvised Explosive Device (IED), further denying criminal elements the capability to threaten public safety and security in the region.


The Nigerian Army assesses the voluntary surrender of arms as clear evidence that sustained operational pressure, reinforced by strategic engagement initiatives and collaboration with other security agencies, is yielding tangible results by compelling criminal elements to abandon violence and renounce their criminal activities. The Army remains resolute in sustaining the current operational momentum until all criminal networks are dismantled and enduring peace and stability are fully restored across the South East.


The Nigerian Army reiterates its unwavering commitment to safeguarding Nigeria's sovereignty and protecting the lives and property of all citizens through intelligence-driven operations conducted in close collaboration with other security agencies and critical stakeholders. We urge members of the public to continue providing timely and credible information to security agencies, as public support remains indispensable to sustaining operational successes and strengthening national security.
