AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoYemen-to-Djibouti arrivals surge: With fighting around the Bab el-Mandeb Strait intensifying, Djibouti is seeing a fast-growing influx of Yemenis—over 2,500 arriving by Sept. 16 and officials warning numbers could hit 10,000 in coming weeks, straining limited humanitarian and accommodation capacity. Red Sea travel risk: The same escalation is tied to Houthi gains along Yemen’s coast and islands near the strait, raising fears for shipping and for travelers passing through the region. Humanitarian pressure in the region: UN and aid reporting says more than 100,000 people have been displaced inside Yemen, while boats crossing to Djibouti face dangers like fuel shortages, heat, dehydration, and lack of water. EU migration rights push: In Brussels, an Eritrean refugees protest urged the EU to protect detainees in Libya and rethink migration cooperation with the Libyan coast guard. Djibouti travel policy note: Djibouti also signed a mutual visa exemption deal with Saudi Arabia for holders of diplomatic and special passports, easing official travel between the two countries.
