Over 600 people from violence-hit Manipur flee to neighbouring Assam

[ad_1]
Silchar: More than 600 people from violence-hit areas of Manipur fled to neighbouring Assam’s Cachar district till Friday, officials said.
People of different ethnicities have crossed the inter-state border, and taken shelter at Lakhinagar panchayat area of the district, they said.
Cachar’s Deputy Commissioner Rohan Jha said the district administration has made arrangements for those coming from the neighbouring state, and all necessary help will be provided to them.

“Some of the families have taken refuge at their relatives’ place in Lakhinagar. Arrangements have been made at community halls and school campuses for those who have no place to go,” he said.
Food and other necessities, including medicines, will be provided to them as is done during any disaster, he said.
“We are prepared to take care of the families seeking shelter in Cachar,” Jha added.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa in a tweet said, “Several families affected by the recent incidents in Manipur have sought refuge in Assam. I have requested the District Administration of Cachar to take care of these families.”
Sarma said he was in constant touch with his Manipur CM N Biren Singh.

Violent clashes out broke between tribals and members of the majority Meitei community in Manipur on Wednesday, displacing thousands of people.
The clashes broke out after a ‘Tribal Solidarity March’ was organised in the ten hill districts to protest the Meitei community’s demand for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status.
Meiteis account for about 53 percent of population and live mostly in the Imphal valley. Tribals — Nagas and Kukis — account for another 40 percent of the population, and live mostly in the hill districts.
Two districts of Assam — Cachar and Dima Hasao — share a 204.1 km border with Manipur.

Escalating conflict in Yemen’s Marib forces hundreds to flee

[ad_1]
Sanaa: Hundreds of people were forced to leave their homes as fighting between the Yemeni government and the Houthi militia has continued to escalate in the war-torn nation’s oil-rich province of Marib, a military official said.
Key areas in Marib have been engulfed in armed confrontations over the past few days, leading to a large number of casualties on both sides, the official told Xinhua news agency late Wednesday.
He said that the situation has become increasingly dire for the civilians caught in the crossfire in Harib district, as many have been forced to leave their homes and belongings behind in search of safer places.
“The ongoing battles prompted a mass exodus of people from several villages in Marib and Shabwa provinces, causing overcrowding in temporary shelters and refugee camps with limited resources,” said the official.
From March 19 to 25, approximately 235 families, comprising 1,410 individuals, were forced to leave their homes in Marib, Hodeidah, and Taiz, according to the International Migration Organization (IOM).
The total number of families that had been transferred to various provinces in Yemen since January was 2,030, consisting of 12,180 individuals, according to the IOM.
The recent Houthi attacks against government troops in Marib and other regions have shattered hopes for a lasting peace pact.
The UN-brokered truce, which lasted from April to October last year, provided a momentary respite in the war-torn country.

Yemen has been embroiled in a devastating civil war since 2014, with the Houthis fighting against the internationally-recognized government and its allies, which include a Saudi Arabia-led coalition.
The years-long war brought the Arab world’s poorest country to the brink of collapse, causing famine and widespread suffering as well as disrupting the country’s food supply chain, leaving millions of people without access to adequate nutrition.

Elizabeth Holmes tried to ‘flee’ US with one-way Mexico ticket, prosecutors say

[ad_1]
The disgraced founder of Theranos, Elizabeth Holmes, made an “attempt to flee the country” by purchasing a one-way ticket to Mexico after she was found guilty on four counts of fraud last January, according to prosecutors.
In the new filing on Thursday, prosecutors said that “contrary to defendant’s assertion that she has a ‘flawless record with US Pretrial Services’ and claim that no evidence suggests she will flee while she pursues her appeal … the incentive to flee has never been higher and defendant has the means to act on that incentive.”
“As an initial matter, defendant’s record with Pretrial Services and the court does not account for her attempt to flee the country shortly after she was convicted. The government became aware on 23 January 2022, that Defendant Holmes booked an international flight to Mexico departing on 26 January 2022 without a scheduled return trip,” it said.
Once the government became aware of Holmes’ planned trip, prosecutors emailed Holmes’ attorneys. In an email sent from Holmes’ legal team to the government, which ABC News reviewed, Holmes’ attorneys said: “The hope was that the verdict would be different and Ms Holmes would be able to make this trip to attend the wedding of close friends in Mexico.”
“Given the verdict, she does not plan to take the trip – and therefore did not provide notice, seek permission, or request access to her passport (which the government has) for the trip.
“But she also had not yet cancelled the trip, amidst everything that has been going on. We will have her do so promptly and will provide you confirmation.”
Prosecutors in the filing said that “it is difficult to know with certainty what defendant would have done had the government not intervened”.
They also revealed that Holmes’ partner William Evans departed on the scheduled date with a one-way ticket. Evans did not return until about six weeks later “from a different continent”. Evans’ activities during the trip were not disclosed by prosecutors.

In November, Holmes was sentenced to over 11 years in prison over her role in Theranos, the blood testing firm she founded which was once valued at over $9bn and was later discovered to be mostly fraudulent. Holmes was convicted on four counts of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
In a statement prior to the sentencing, federal judge Edward Davila condemned Holmes and Theranos, calling the whole debacle a “fraud case where an exciting venture went forward with great expectations and hope, only to be dashed by misrepresentation, hubris and plain lies”.
During Holmes’ sentencing, she was ordered to self-surrender to prison on April 27.
The new filing comes as part of prosecutors’ argument that Holmes, who is currently pregnant with her second child, should start serving her prison sentence instead of living on a California estate with an alleged monthly upkeep of over $13,000, prosecutors claim.
