Ivory Coast President Says Government Reaches Deal With Soldiers to End Uprising
[NYT] Negotiations on Saturday appeared to have averted a protracted standoff between soldiers and the government in a military revolt in Ivory Coast, a country that has prided itself on political and economic stability in recent years.

President Alassane Ouattara said late in the day that the government had reached an agreement with disgruntled soldiers who had demanded higher salaries and better living conditions. But Mr. Ouattara criticized the soldiers for the way they had protested.

“I want to say that this way of making demands is not appropriate,” Mr. Ouattara said. “In fact, it tarnished the image of our country after all our economic development efforts.”

According to witnesses, gunfire erupted early on Saturday at a military camp known as “old Akouedo” in a residential area of Abidjan, Ivory Coast’s largest city and its economic capital. Rebellious soldiers from one battalion in the city erected barricades. Citizens in several cities reported that soldiers were patrolling the streets, some firing shots in the air. In Toulepleu, soldiers seized vehicles from citizens, said Serzh Kouehi, a resident there. Shots rang out throughout Friday in the cities of Korhogo and Bouaké. There were no immediate reports of casualties.

Early on Saturday, Alain Richard Donwahi, the country’s defense minister, arrived in Bouaké, where the uprising appeared to have started, for talks with the rebellious soldiers, whose demands included raises, bonuses and shorter tenures of service.

After the deal was announced, local news media reports from Bouaké said renegade soldiers were preventing Mr. Donwahi from leaving the city. But Mayor Nicolas Djibo of Bouaké said late Saturday that the soldiers had never threatened Mr. Donwahi, and that the minister had traveled to the local airport after the talks.

The mutiny seemed to have taken Ivorian officials by surprise. Mr. Ouattara was in Ghana on Saturday for the inauguration of a new president there, but he returned to his country for an emergency meeting with his ministers. Mr. Djibo was away from Bouaké on Friday and rushed home after the mutiny began.

The Ivorian military has remained fractured as the government has struggled to integrate the rebels who helped install Mr. Ouattara in 2011 after his predecessor, Laurent Gbagbo, refused to accept an electoral defeat.

A similar revolt occurred in November 2014, when thousands of Ivory Coast soldiers left their barracks to demand back pay and benefits. At the time, the government agreed to meet the demands of the former rebel fighters, but those grievances have lingered.

South Africa president tells people to not visit Israel
[AA.TR] Polygamist President-for-Life Jacob 'Six Wives' Zuma has urged South Africans to not visit Israel unless it is related to "fostering peace" in the region.

Addressing thousands of supporters during the 105th birth anniversary of his ruling African National Congress (ANC) in the capital Johannesburg on Sunday, Zuma said: "The people of Paleostine continue to suffer in their rightful quest for self determination."

Zuma, who is also the ANC president, said his party had pledged its "ongoing solidarity and support for the just cause of the Paleostinian people."

He said: "We firmly discourage travel to Israel for causes not related to fostering peace."

Caribbean-Latin America
Mexico hunts for gunman who shot US consular official
Mexican authorities are on the hunt for a gunman who was disguised as a nurse when he shot and wounded a U.S. consular official in the city of Guadalajara.

The US consulate in Guadalajara posted a video on Facebook on Jan. 7 showing the shooter, dressed in blue and wearing a wig, waiting outside a shopping center’s garage at 6:20 p.m. on Jan. 6 (00:20 a.m. GMT Jan. 7), AFP reported. He then raises his gun and fires at the car before fleeing. The shooting left a bullet impact on the car window while the U.S. consular official is seen opening his door.

Moments before the shooting video from different cameras showed the official, dressed in shorts and a sleeveless shirt, paying his parking ticket at an automated machine. The gunman is seen following him.

“According to the four videos, it was a direct attack,” Jalisco state attorney general Eduard Almaguer Ramirez said.

The gunman was wearing a wig and a blue nurse uniform, Almaguer said.

The U.S. official, who is in stable condition, interviews visa applicants at the consulate, Almaguer said. A U.S. government official told AFP that the official is a vice consul, adding that no motive for the shooting has been established.

The western city of Guadalajara has been hit by violence perpetrated by the powerful Jalisco New Generation drug cartel in recent years.

The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation offered a $20,000 reward for information about the shooter. The FBI is helping with the investigation, Almaguer said.

“The safety and security of our employees overseas is among our highest priorities,” the U.S. embassy said in a statement.

“We are working closely with Mexican law enforcement in this matter,” the statement added, saying it would provide more details “due to privacy considerations.”

The embassy issued a security message later on Jan. 7 urging U.S. citizens in Guadalajara to “restrict their movements outside their homes and places of work to those truly essential.”

#1  They have ID'ed an un-named US citizen. Doesn't sound like a cartel hit. And you wouldn't open a car door to an armed stranger in Mexico. Ergo, he knew the perp and ID'ed him to the cops.

#3  It has been reported that the perp shot once. The attacker doesn't appear to try to approach the official while he is walking, but instead waits for him to exit the parking garage in his vehicle and fires a round into the car's windshield. The perp does not appear to be a professional hit man with only one shot into the windshield from some distance away.

Fiat Chrysler announces $1B US investment
[The Hill] Fiat Chrysler announced Sunday it will create 2,000 jobs in the United States, AFP reported.

The company will invest $1 billion by 2020 in two factories in Michigan and Ohio, where the new jobs will be based, according to a company statement.

"FCA US is further demonstrating its commitment to strengthening its US manufacturing base," it said.
Fiat Chrysler will upgrade a Warren, Mich., plant to produce new Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer models, CNN Money reported.

It will also make a new pickup truck at its assembly complex in Toledo.

President-elect Donald Trump has criticized automakers on Twitter several times since his election for potentially moving jobs and manufacturing out of the U.S.

Just last week, he blasted General Motors on Twitter, threatening a "big border tax" on the automaker’s models made in Mexico.

Home Front: WoT
Navy, Trump planning biggest fleet expansion since Cold War
With President-elect Donald Trump demanding more ships, the Navy is proposing the biggest shipbuilding boom since the end of the Cold War to meet threats from a resurgent Russia and saber-rattling China.

The Navy's 355-ship proposal released last month is even larger than what the Republican Trump had promoted on the campaign trail, providing a potential boost to shipyards that have struggled because budget caps that have limited money funding for ships.

Boosting shipbuilding to meet the Navy's 355-ship goal could require an additional $5 billion to $5.5 billion in annual spending in the Navy's 30-year projection, according to an estimate by naval analyst Ronald O'Rourke at the Congressional Research Service.

The Navy's revised Force Structure Assessment calls for adding another 47 ships including an aircraft carrier built in Virginia, 16 large surface warships built in Maine and Mississippi, and 18 attack submarines built in Connecticut, Rhode Island and Virginia. It also calls for more amphibious assault ships, expeditionary transfer docks and support ships.

In addition to being good for national security, a larger fleet would be better for both the sailors, who'd enjoy shorter deployments, and for the ships, which would have more down time for maintenance, said Matthew Paxton, president of the Shipbuilders Council of America, which represents most of the major Navy shipbuilders.

"Russia and China are going to continue to build up their navies," he said. "The complexities aren't going to get any easier. The Navy, more than any of the services, is our forward presence. We're going to need this Navy."

Many defense analysts agree that military capabilities have been degraded in recent years, especially when it comes to warships, aircraft and tanks.

The key is finding a way to increase Navy shipbuilding to achieve defense and economic gains "in a fiscally responsible way that does not pass the bill along to our children," said independent Sen. Angus King of Maine, a member of the Armed Services Committee.

Even when Trump takes office, no one envisions a return to the heady days during the Cold War when workers were wiring, welding, grinding, pounding and plumbing ships at a furious pace to meet President Ronald Reagan's audacious goal of a 600 ship Navy.

The Navy currently has 274 deployable battle force ships, far short of its old goal of 308 ships.

Lawrence J. Korb, a retired naval officer and former assistant defense secretary under Reagan, said the Navy's request isn't realistic unless the Trump administration is willing to take the budget "to levels we've never seen."
As in, an extra $5 billion a year Mr. Korb? We're spending $4.5 trillion a year, a fair bit of which goes for stupid stuff. I think we can do a little more for defense.
"You never have enough money to buy a perfect defense. You have to make trade-offs," said Korb, senior fellow at the Center for American Progress.
Wow -- yahoo and AP actually identified his affiliation?
But investors apparently are betting on more ships. General Dynamics, which owns Bath Iron Works, Connecticut-based Electric Boat and California-based NASSCO, and Huntington Ingalls, which owns major shipyards in Virginia and in Mississippi, have both seen stock prices creep upward since the election.
I do think we need investment in our military. But the Navy had better learn the lessons of the LCS, the F-35 and the DDX programs, or all that new money is going to be peed away.

India-Pakistan
Man chops off wife’s arms, injures daughter
[DAWN] TOBA TEK SINGH: A man allegedly chopped off an arm of his wife and also injured his 10-year-old daughter who came to her mother’s rescue over some dispute at Basti Oddanwali near Pirmahal on Saturday.

Police said Nazir Shah attacked his wife Tasleem Bibi with an axe in a fit of rage over some dispute. The woman not only had her arm chopped off but suffered multiple injuries and their daughter also was injured when she tried to rescue her, they said.

Tasleem Bibi was taken to Pirmahal’s Tehsil Headquarters (THQ) hospital from where she was referred to the DHQ hospital. At the city’s major health facility, the doctors allegedly refused to treat the patient and sent her to the THQ hospital of Kamalia on the plea that it was a medico-legal case.

Later, it is learnt, doctors referred her to Allied Hospital in Faisalabad
...formerly known as Lyallpur, the third largest metropolis in Pakistain, the second largest in Punjab after Lahore. It is named after some Arab because the Paks didn't have anybody notable of their own to name it after...
due to her critical condition. Her daughter was admitted to the Pirmahal health facility.

Allegedly tortured child maid recovered from Islamabad's suburbs
[DAWN] The juvenile housemaid allegedly tortured by the family of an Islamabad additional district and sessions judge, has been recovered, police sources told DawnNews.

Police sources said that the girl Taiba was recovered from a house in the suburb area of Islamabad.

Meanwhile,
...back at the wreckage, Captain Poindexter wished he had a cup of coffee. Even instant would do...
Islamabad police officials are reluctant to either confirm or deny the development, saying that the matter is sub judice so they are unable to comment over the issue.

The 10-year-old had been working as a domestic servant at the house additional judge in Islamabad when she was recovered by police 24 hours after a neighbour complained that Taiba was being severely mistreated by the couple.

The judge and his wife were facing an inquiry for their alleged involvement in keeping the juvenile housemaid in wrongful confinement, burning her hand over a missing broom, beating her with a ladle, detaining her in a storeroom and threatening her with dire consequences, when a person claimed to be the father of Taiba appeared before a court of law and forgave the accused.

The Supreme Court (SC) had on Friday ordered DNA tests to confirm the identity of the parents of the 10-year-old child maid who was allegedly tortured by her employers ─ an influential judge and his wife ─ and ordered a full police probe into the allegations.

The 10-year-old child maid was allegedly tortured by her employers ─ an influential judge and his wife.

The court took suo motu notice of the case after the girl's parents 'forgave' her alleged tormentors.
The court took suo motu
...a legal term, from the Latin. Roughly translated it means I saw what you did, you bastard...
notice of the case after the girl's parents 'forgave' her alleged tormentors. The location of the child is presently unknown.

Adding to the confusion, two women previously unheard of appeared before the Chief Justice of Pakistain (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar in court today, each claiming the girl in question is their child, after which the judge requested DNA tests.

CJP Nisar, who is heading a two-member bench hearing the suo motu case, remarked, "No 'agreements' can be reached in matters concerning fundamental human rights."
One man's rights are another man's existential threat.
"Even parents cannot deny children their fundamental rights," the judge observed. "How did they reach a settlement on torture against the child?"

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
PA and Hamas dispute leads to electricity shortage in Gaza
[IsraelTimes] Residents are left with just 3 hours of power per day, and so use indoor bonfires and candles, leading to several fatal blazes.

A long-simmering dispute between Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, and the Paleostinian Authority over who has to foot the bill for the fuel that powers the Gazoo Strip’s power plant has severely curtailed electricity production. But for Paleostinians left to deal with the bitter winter cold with just three hours of electricity a day, the excuses are of little consolation.

"Yesterday, I had only three hours and 15 minutes of electricity at home," one Gazoo City resident, who asked to only be identified by the first letter of his name, Y, told The Times of Israel. "That’s it. The rest of the day there is nothing."

"Two, three months ago we still had eight hours of electricity [a day]," Y. said, adding that "now all of the Gazoo Strip receives just a little over three hours of electricity a day. During the winter weather, this can be dangerous."

Heating homes by means of indoor bonfires has become common in Gazoo, as has the use of candles as lighting, which has led to several fatal fires.

The latest crisis surrounding electricity supply in Gazoo did not start overnight. It is the outcome of a long-running disagreement between the Paleostinian Authority and Hamas over the payment of excise taxes for the fuel that is used in the power station in Gazoo.

The Paleostinian Authority purchases the gas at full cost -- including the excise tax -- from Israel before it is transferred to Gazoo. However,
there's more than one way to stuff a chicken...
the PA announced in 2015 that it is no longer prepared to bear the full burden of of the excise tax and told Hamas it needs to foot its share of the costs of buying diesel fuel for the power station in Gazoo. The station constitutes the main source of energy in the Gazoo Strip (apart from a small amount that comes from Israel and Egypt).

While the Paleostinian Authority is nominally responsible for the Gazoo Strip, particularly in official dealings with Israel, in reality, Hamas has been in charge since ousting PA forces, in a bloody uprising in 2007. Several rounds of reconciliation talks between the two have failed to reach an agreement, leading to these kinds of grey areas of responsibility.

Hamas, a terrorist organization which calls for Israel’s destruction, has refused to make any payments to Israel. The PA initially continued to pay the full cost of the fuel, but the disagreement was never resolved.

As a result, the Gazoo Strip has seen drastic swings in the electricity supply. Each time the PA refuses to shell out the funds for the excise tax, the electric company in Gazoo buys less fuel and in turn produces less electricity. This time, it appears that the crisis has become particularly severe, in light of the decrease in electricity supply from Egypt, due to technical problems with the power lines.

This latest crisis has caused a great deal of discontent in the Gazoo Strip, and, on Saturday, there were numerous protests in the coastal enclave, such as the one in the Nuseirat refugee camp, where Gazoo’s main power plant is located.

The Future of Air Superiority Part II: The 2030 Problem
[War on the Rocks] In early 2015, the U.S. Air Force was about to begin work on its next-generation air-to-air fighter, commonly known as F-X. When beginning such a program, military services usually start with an "analysis of alternatives" to help them define the desired attributes of new systems. The objective of this analysis is to determine the most rational investment decisions prior to committing taxpayer dollars. Key funding decisions typically follow shortly on the heels of this analytic effort. As the Air Force approached these decisions, it had to decide how much of its topline budget authority it was willing to allocate to the emerging F-X program. Out of this came a cost estimate for the F-X program based on trends from similar programs in the past. The result was not pretty.

The two most recent examples analysts had available were the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II. As has been written extensively elsewhere, both programs experienced cost issues throughout development. Such issues eventually drove Secretary of Defense Robert Gates to truncate the F-22 program at 187 aircraft and also led to a re-baselining of the F-35 program in 2010. Comparing the expense of these fifth-generation aircraft programs to fourth-generation F-16 and F-15 programs, experts predicted F-X would cost substantially more than any prior fighter program in history. Additionally, Air Force planners evaluated the development timelines experienced during fifth-generation aircraft development. The combination of historically poor schedule performance with historically high costs led planners to conclude the earliest the Air Force could expect and afford to field F-X would be around the year 2040.
