Violence in DR Congo forces over 11,000 Congolese to flee to Angola
UNHCR
United Nations - Arab Today
The current spike of violence in Kasai Provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has forced over 11,000 refugees to seek safety in Angola, a UN spokesperson said Friday.
Police, military officials and civilians were being attacked by militia groups, UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said at a daily news briefing.
"Some parents have sent their children across the border, worrying they would be forcibly recruited by the militias if they had stayed in the DRC," said Dujarric.
The situation among children is dire, as many arriving malnourished and sick, suffering from diarrhea, fever and malaria, according to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
The UNHCR is currently coordinating refugee response with the government, local authorities and partners on the ground.
"We are also negotiating with the government for proper hosting sites as the current border locations are overcrowded and not suitable," said the UNHCR.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
