"The government must understand that we cyclists need protection; we are nude today because that's the way...

 ALTERNATIVE TO DEATH BY WATER. In an attempt to deal with a growing influx of migrants, authorities in Somalia's autonomous region of Puntland are adopting new measures to stop people from undertaking the hazardous journey to Yemen, officials said. The Migration Response Centre (MRC) in the regional capital, Bosasso. MRC was created in April 2009, under the office of the Bari governor, to 'register and provide counselling and assist' the migrants. Between April and December 2009, it registered 7,223 persons. According to the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), 78,487 Ethiopians and Somalis crossed into Yemen from Somalia and Djibouti in 2009, of whom 685 died. So far in 2010, 5,032 have crossed and four have died. The government had adopted a two-track approach. Apart from the MRC, security forces had cracked down on smugglers and closed the ports from which they operate. The group is taught how to fish, process the catch, repair nets and keep books.

 NO FRESH ELECTIONS. Anti-government protesters in Thailand have rallied outside a military base on the outskirts of the capital in an effort to increase pressure on the country's prime minister to stand down and call fresh elections. Around 150,000 Red Shirt demonstrators had attended a huge rally in the city on March 14. Most Red Shirts are supporters of Thaksin Shinawatra, the former Thai prime minister ousted in a 2006 coup. The protesters had set a deadline of noon on March 15 for Abhisit Vejjajiva to resign or face what they say will be crippling mass demonstrations. Abhisit had moved his government to army barracks outside of Bangkok as a precautionary measure. ' We have to listen to other people's voices, not just the protesters,' Abhisit said in a televised statement. Photo courtesy of www.bangkokpost.com

 LAKES FOR LISTING. Lake Nakuru, a soda lake, located in a closed basin without outlets in the Eastern Rift Valley of equatorial East Africa, provides visitors with one of Kenya's best known images – massive flocks of pink flamingoes. It is one of the three lakes  - the other being Bogoria and Elementaita - that Kenya is pushing for inclusion in the Unesco World Heritage List so as to benefit from global conservation funds. The three lakes provide unique biodiversity and sustain 75 per cent of the globally threatened population of the Lesser Flamingos, Lesser Kestrel and White-headed Vulture among others. However, human activities such as farming, destruction of forests, poaching and excessive exposure to tourists have become a threat to these fragile ecosystems. As part of  the Kenya Lakes System in the Great Rift Valley, these lakes are comparable to the St. Lucia World Heritage site of South Africa. Photo courtesy www.journeyetc.com
