She continues to deny the charges against her, while authorities in Bangladesh have maintained legal action against the former leader.

According to authorities in Sudan, at least 230 people have been killed and over 200 people have been injured amid the ongoing land dispute in the country’s Blue Nile province. The region that borders Ethiopia and South Sudan is witnessing an escalation in violence that began earlier this year.&nbsp;

The Sudanese health minister, Gamal Nasser al-Sayed, in an interview said that more than 30,000 people from eight villages had to flee after their homes were torched and they were attacked.&nbsp;

According to reports, tensions between the community of people originating from West Africa, the Hausa people and the ethnic group living along the border between the two countries, called the Berta community escalated last week in the town of Wad el-Mahi which shares a border with Ethiopia.&nbsp;

According to the UN and World Bank, agriculture and livestock make up nearly 30% of the country’s GDP and are responsible for more than 40% of employment in Sudan, which makes the issue of land access&nbsp;an important one.&nbsp;These attacks have reportedly been one of the deadliest episodes of ethnic violence the country has witnessed in recent years.&nbsp;

At least 149 people had been killed by early October since the tension first erupted in mid-July between the two groups.&nbsp;The director general of the Health Ministry in Blue Nile, Fath Arrahman Bakheit said that they counted at least 220 dead as of Saturday, last week. The death toll could be higher, he added.&nbsp;

The land disputes between the Blue Nile and West Kordofan states have been going on for more than a decade and left unresolved by the country’s central government. According to reports, over the weekend the Sudanese government also sent troops to de-escalate the situation between the rival communities.&nbsp;

This also comes amid the ongoing political unrest and economic crisis in Sudan which also saw an escalation following a military coup led by the country’s army chief last year, the officials indicated. Reports suggest that the two groups have accused each other of backing and arming rival communities.&nbsp;

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs citing eyewitness accounts has reported burning houses and killings with axes and sticks, this violence has also led the people to flee to neighbouring provinces. They also said overall at least 211,000 people have been displaced just this year due to tribal violence and other attacks in Sudan.&nbsp;

Malaysia's embattled leader will submit his resignation to the king on Monday, a minister said. His resignation would effectively end his government of 17 months and cause fresh upheaval in the country.&nbsp;

Muhyiddin Yassin has come under pressure to step down since losing his parliamentary majority and also for his administration's response to a worsening Coronavirus outbreak.&nbsp;

Making a last-ditch effort to hold on to power, on Friday he offered institutional reforms in exchange for support from the opposition. However, the offer was rejected.

Minister Mohamad Redzuan Yusof&nbsp;told AFP that Muhyiddin informed his party's lawmakers about&nbsp;his resignation at a meeting Sunday in Kuala Lumpur.&nbsp;It would be up to King Mohammed to accept&nbsp; Muhyiddin's&nbsp;resignation or not, he said at the meeting.&nbsp;

The prime minister will convene a final cabinet meeting on Monday; he will then present his resignation letter at the palace.

"We did try to convince him to stay on, but he said: 'We do not have the number of MPs.'

In Malaysia, the constitutional monarch appoints the candidate he believes commands majority support in parliament as premier.

Muhyiddin came to power last March without elections after the collapse of Mahathir Mohamad's two-year-old reformist government.

He faced chaos from day one: his government had a weak parliamentary majority, its legitimacy was frequently questioned, and opposition chief Anwar Ibrahim remained a serious challenge.

The concern that polls might worsen a virus outbreak has prompted speculation that, should he resign, the new government will be appointed without elections.

As long as there is no clear successor, there will be days of political horse-trading in parliament before a durable coalition is formed.

Hong Kong: Unrest takes a toll on tourism industry

Mohammed Manea has tended honey bees northeast of Sanaa for years, but despairs that the production of <a href="https://www.wionews.com/videos/yemen-government-separatists-sign-deal-to-end-power-struggle-in-south-260295">"Yemen's gold"</a> is under threat as the war engulfing the country drags on.

The conflict has blighted millions of lives and brought the economy to the brink of collapse. Cottage industries such as beekeeping, coffee growing and artisan manufacturing have been hit particularly hard.

Beekeepers say clashes between the Saudi-supported government and Iran-backed rebels, alongside a humanitarian crisis that the United Nations has called the world's worst, have throttled their livelihoods.

"When we recently arrived in this part of Hajjah province on the front line between the aggressors (the Saudi-led coalition) and the Huthis, the trucks were hit by an airstrike," Manea told AFP.

"One was carrying the honey, and the other was carrying the bees," he added as he used his bare hands to remove a honeycomb frame crawling with bees from a hive in the rural region of Aslam.

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/yemen-rebels-seize-two-south-korean-one-saudi-vessel-263173">Yemen is renowned</a> for its Sidr honey, named after the tree from which the nectar is gathered. The honey is referred to informally as "Middle Eastern manuka", a bow to its famed market rival from New Zealand.

'Production has dropped'

Sidr honey is said to have medicinal properties and is a bestseller in the souks and bazaars of the Gulf where it retails at a premium.

It is also a natural product that is traditionally recommended to new mothers to augment breast milk production.

Manea's fellow beekeeper, Ali Kabsh, agreed that the business was suffering badly.

"Honey production has dropped," he said pointing to the challenges of exporting during wartime and the logistical difficulties of keeping bees.

He estimated that the number of hives had dropped from between 800 and 1,000 when the war broke out in 2014 to between 100 and 150 currently. There are no official statistics that highlight the full damage suffered by the country's once-proud producers of honey.

Kabsh said that among the most significant problems he faced was travelling to find fresh flowers in bloom for his bees to harvest the nectar.

"A beekeeper's work depends on the seasons. Each region has its flowering season, so they have to move around to produce the honey," he told AFP.

In Abs, another region in Hajjah province, beekeeper Ahmed Ali al-Adili said he had struggled to export honey to Gulf states including Saudi Arabia.

The international airport in the capital Sanaa is under Huthi control and remains dormant, while most border crossings are closed, he said.&nbsp;

"My production has decreased by 90 per cent," Adili said.&nbsp;

Other traditional trades in Yemen <a href="https://www.wionews.com/videos/yemen-houthis-claim-capture-of-saudi-troops-252676">have also suffered</a>. The Al-Shinayni market in third city Taez once overflowed with handicrafts including products made by blacksmiths, potters and tailors. Now it is an arms bazaar in which a Kalashnikov assault rifle retails for little more than $1,000.

Tens of thousands of people, mostly civilians, have been killed since the Saudi-led military coalition intervened in the conflict to support the internationally-recognised government against the Huthis.

Around 3.3 million people have been displaced by the war and about 20 million people,&nbsp;more than two-thirds of the population,&nbsp;need humanitarian support to survive.&nbsp;
