Yemen army advances

Yemeni armed forces are maintaining full control over the strategic city of Mokha, following a large-scale military operation that saw them take control of the entire Red Sea coastline. The armed forces have emphasized that they will continue their operations in the region until the Yemeni people’s rights are restored.

Trump controversy

The US president has once again surprised his British allies by veering off the official US policy on the issue of Northern Ireland, calling for its reunification with Ireland. The comment by Donald Trump alongside the Irish premier plunges the U-S into the hugely controversial issue of Northern Ireland that has caused decades of deadly clashes between British security forces and local republicans. The so-called troubles were settled by the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. It required holding a referendum if it appears likely that a majority supports reunification with Ireland. On Saturday, the office of the British premier pushed back against Trump’s comment, saying there is insufficient public support in Northern Ireland for a referendum to be held.
