Yemenis rally in Sanaa to mark second anniversary of war

Tens of thousands of Yemenis took to the streets of capital Sanaa on Sunday (26 March) to mark two years since Yemen war. It was the biggest gathering since a Saudi-led coalition entered the conflict against Iran-aligned Houthis in 2015. Since then, the war has claimed more than 7,600 lives. Millions of people have also been displaced pushing the impoverished country to the brink of famine. Mar 27, 2017

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan says the Netherlands acting like a ‘banana republic’

President Tayyip Erdogan said on 12 March the Netherlands was acting like a banana republic and should face sanctions for barring Turkish ministers from speaking in Rotterdam, fuelling a row over Ankaras political campaigning abroad. Erdogan is looking to the large number of Turks living in Europe, especially in Germany and the Netherlands, to help secure victory next month in a referendum that would give the presidency sweeping new powers.
