NEW WAVES OF AIR STRIKES...........


Sana'a - Powerful explosions shook the Yemeni capital on Sunday, witnesses said, after the Saudi-led coalition vowed to press its air war following a rebel missile strike that killed dozens of Gulf soldiers.
The witnesses said the coalition warplanes pounded positions of the Iran-backed Shiite Huthi rebels and bases of splinter troops loyal to ousted president Ali Abdullah Saleh.
The raids hit military bases on the Nahdain and Fajj Attan hills and the neighbouring presidential complex, south of Sana'a, as well as the headquarters of the special forces.
Also targeted were Huthi positions in the northern neighbourhoods of Sufan and Al-Nahda, forcing scores of residents to flee to other areas for safety, the witnesses said.
It comes after the missile attack Friday on an arms depot in Marib, east of Sanaa, killed 60 soldiers, including 45 Emiratis, 10 Saudis and five Bahrainis.
The Huthi rebels said the attack was "revenge" for six months of deadly air raids, but the coalition vowed there would be no let-up in its air war.
The coalition launched the bombing campaign when President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi fled to Saudi Arabia in March after the rebels entered his last refuge, Yemen's second city Aden.
After loyalists recaptured the southern port in July, the coalition launched a ground operation that has seen the rebels pushed back from five southern provinces, although they still control Sanaa and much of the north and centre.

militant blow up Chevron pipeline

Lagos - A militant group has attacked a Chevron installation in the Niger delta, a maritime expert confirmed Thursday, the latest damage to Nigeria's oil infrastructure that is dragging output to 20-year lows. Militant group Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) appeared to claim the attack late Wednesday in a statement on a Twitter account bearing their name that said it had blown up the main electricity feed pipeline at the Escravos oil terminal. The NDA, the most high-profile group to emerge recently in the increasingly volatile Niger delta, has launched a series of attacks in recent months that have choked output from oil giants Chevron, Shell and ENI and helped push up global crude prices. The attack would "reduce Chevron's capability to export crude oil via Escravos," Dirk Steffen, from the Denmark-based Risk Intelligence firm, told AFP. "The main threat posed by this development is the severely reduced oil output, which puts further pressure on the financially c...

HURRAY.......Nigeria Polio Free

Nigeria has been free of  polio  for an entire year, thanks to an aggressive vaccination policy supported by the Gates Foundation. The world’s biggest philanthropic organisation has dedicated itself to eradicating polio by 2018, and CEO Dr Sue Hellman says Pakistan and Afghanistan are now the “last frontiers” in this process. In 2014, India, a polio hotspot five years ago, declared itself polio-free prompting Bill Gates to describe this as “the greatest global health achievement I have ever witnessed”.  “Eradicating polio will mean that we have wiped out one of humanity’s oldest scourges,” Hellman told a group of African journalists on the eve of the release of her  annual letter , reflecting on the foundation’s work. The Gates Foundation supports vaccination campaigns worldwide and by last year, it estimated that the lives of seven million children had been saved as a result of expanded access to vaccines. The foundation is also heavily invested in the search ...
