India on Friday reiterated its commitment to peace, prosperity and stability in neighbouring  Afghanistan, a day after US President Donald Trump announced an early exit for American troops stationed in the war-torn country.

Yemen's Houthi rebels have blocked half of the United Nations' aid delivery programs in the war-torn country — a strong-arm tactic to force the agency to give them greater control over the massive humanitarian campaign, along with a cut of billions of dollars in foreign assistance, according to aid officials and internal documents obtained by The Associated Press.
