| [YEMENONLINE.INFO] UNHCR: Some 10,500 new arrivals to Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... have been recorded since the start of the conflict on 26th March, latest UNHCR figures reveal. Since the start of the year, over 37,000 refugees and migrants have arrived by sea, the majority from Æthiopia as well as Somalis and other nationalities. Many are tricked into making the journey by smugglers who tell them that the conflict is over and all is safe in Yemen. The usual risks associated with such sea crossings of abduction, attacks, drowning, exploitation and sexual assault still exist. Due to the ongoing conflict and reduced access, UNHCR and partners are unable to bring arrivals to urban centres in order to receive full assistance. Mass information campaigns are planned for Puntland ...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion... and Somaliland and other points of departure to discourage crossings. At the same time, over 51,000 people have fled Yemen for Djibouti, Somalia, Oman, Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... and Sudan. - See more at: http://yemenonline.info/special-reports/631#sthash.djxLflwD.dpuf |
