#Yacob_Yatane: Heartbreak as Exiled #Ethiopian Journalist Dies in #Kenya, Proof of Poisoning Emerges
Prior to his death, the journalist had allegedly complained of persistent threats and being consistently trailed by unidentified Amharic-speaking individuals in Nairobi. In November 2025 (late 2017 EC), Yacob shared that things became harder for him when two men and a woman allegedly tracked him to his residence and physically confronted and threatened him.
Fearing for his life, Yacob turned to the Kenyan National Police Service as well as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (#UNHCR), and despite having to change his residence for security reasons, he remained vulnerable until his death.

Глобальная гуманитарная система под угрозой: ООН делает «болезненный выбор»
🇺🇳 ООН столкнулась с самым серьезным дефицитом финансирования в истории гуманитарной помощи. Как заявили одновременно две ключевые структуры – Управление ООН по координации гуманитарных вопросов (OCHA) и Агентство по делам беженцев (UNHCR) – ситуация требует радикальных мер.
UNHCR объявило о сокращении:
➡️почти 30% расходов на персонал,
➡️3,5 тыс. постоянных позиций и сотен временных договоров,
➡️закрытии и уменьшении масштабов деятельности ряда офисов.
Под удар попали базовые программы: финансовая помощь, здравоохранение, образование, водоснабжение и санитария. Несмотря на это, число вынужденных переселенцев в мире достигло 122 млн человек – почти вдвое больше, чем десять лет назад.
OCHA, в свою очередь, запустило «апелляцию выживания» на $29 млрд, перераспределяя приоритеты в пользу стран с наивысшими гуманитарными рисками. По словам главы OCHA Тома Флетчера, сегодня речь идет о триаже человеческого выживания: «Мы просим лишь 1% от того, что вы потратили на войны. Это не только призыв о деньгах — это призыв к глобальной ответственности».
При этом, из необходимого по Глобальному гуманитарному обзору на 2025 год ($44 млрд) собрано менее 13%.
