Trump agrees transition to Biden administration can begin

CeelWaaqNews- United States President-elect Joe Biden has been formally given the go-ahead by a federal agency to begin his transition to the presidency, shortly after the battleground state of Michigan certified him as the winner there.

With the rapid-fire developments on Monday, President Donald Trump’s already languishing efforts to overturn his November 3 defeat appeared to be coming to a close.

The US General Services Administration (GSA), an independent agency, ascertained that Biden was the “apparent winner” of the election and informed Biden that his transition – leading up to a January 20 swearing-in – could officially begin.

GSA Administrator Emily Murphy made the determination after Trump’s efforts to challenge the vote failed across battleground states, citing “recent developments involving legal challenges and certifications of election results”.

Michigan certified Biden’s victory Monday, and a federal judge in Pennsylvania moved on Saturday to throw out a Trump campaign lawsuit seeking to prevent certification in that state.

Murphy, a Trump appointee, has faced bipartisan criticism for failing to begin the transition process sooner, preventing Biden’s team from working with agency officials on plans for his administration, including in critical national security and public health areas.

“Please know that I came to my decision independently, based on the law and available facts. I was never directly or indirectly pressured by any Executive Branch official – including those who work at the White House or GSA – with regard to the substance or timing of my decision,” Murphy wrote in a letter to Biden.

AFRICOM Donates Field Hospital to Kenya Border Police

Nairobi (CeelWaaqNews)-United States Africa Command donated a 40-bed, negative air pressure mobile field hospital (MFH) to the Kenya Border Police, demonstrating its longstanding commitment to Kenya and continued support for partner nations in the fight against COVID-19.

“Kenya is a key partner and we are honored to be able to support the Kenya Border Police in the fight against COVID in East Africa and on the continent,” said U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. John Wood, director of Strategy, Engagement and Programs Directorate with U.S. Africa Command. “This donation will help address the COVID pandemic in the near-term but will continue to benefit the region post-COVID for years to come. This act is one of several ways U.S. Africa Command and our Kenyan partners are working together to enhance regional long-term stability.”

AFRICOM and the US embassy in Nairobi collaborated to make the donation, which facilitated a partnership with the Kenya Border Police Unit for COVID response “The United States cares about the health and well-being of Kenyans. The donation of this hospital is another example of our desire to not only give financial resources but to help Kenyans become self-reliant and move from being a recipient of aid to becoming a donor country,” said Kyle McCarter, U.S. Ambassador to Kenya. “We look forward to working with the BPU to deploy this hospital in remote areas to provide needed medical care for Kenyans for many years to come. The BPU team that constructed the hospital earned great praise from the U.S. mentors here, and we know the BPU will use this facility to improve the lives of Kenyans across the country.”

The donation highlights the value of the State Partnership Program, showcasing the Massachusetts National Guardsman involvement in establishing field hospital. In addition to providing the control officer for the project, the Massachusetts National Guardsman will also assist in providing medical expertise post-COVID response when the Mobile Field Hospital is deployed to other areas.

 “This is a true example of what public and private partnership can accomplish between two countries in a time of crisis” said Lt. Col. Matthew E. Kopp, chief, Office of Security Cooperation. “This team effort included critical contributions from US Embassy Nairobi, the Massachusetts National Guard, AFRICOM, the Kenya Defence Force, Aga Khan Hospital, and the Kenyan Border Police Unit. The mobile field hospital helps Kenya meet an urgent need now while providing a critical asset for future crises.”

 The kenyan border Police will initially stage the MFH at the Aga Khan University Hospital to take advantage of their medical expertise to provide direct COVID relief.

After the pandemic, the Border Police Unit will move the MFH to their location for maintenance and training for future deployments to border communities that have limited healthcare. Medical professionals from the Border Police Unit, AFRICOM, the Massachusetts National Guard, and Kenya Defence Forces will staff the MFH and provide medical care to these areas.

Ethiopia’s Tigray conflict risks ‘spiralling out of control’: UN human rights chief

Ethiopia (CeelWaaqNews)-Fighting between Ethiopian government forces and rebellious northern leaders could spiral out of control and war crimes may have been committed, the United Nations said on Friday, as repercussions spread around the volatile Horn of Africa.

The 10-day conflict in Tigray region has killed hundreds, sent refugees flooding into Sudan, and raised fears it may also suck in Eritrea or force Ethiopia to divert troops from an African force opposing al-Qaeda-linked militants in Somalia.

It may also blemish the reputation of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, who won a Nobel Peace Prize for a 2018 peace pact with Eritrea and had won plaudits for opening Ethiopia’s economy and easing a repressive political system.

“There is a risk this situation will spiral totally out of control, leading to heavy casualties and destruction, as well as mass displacement within Ethiopia itself and across borders,” United Nations human rights chief Michelle Bachelet said via a spokesperson.A massacre of civilians reported by Amnesty International, if confirmed as committed by a party to the conflict, would amount to war crimes, she saidPrime Minister Abiy Ahmed accuses the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), which rules the mountainous region of more than five million people, of treason and terrorism.

Federal troops say the TPLF rose against them last week but that they have since survived a siege and recaptured the west of the region. With communications cut and media barred, there has been no independent confirmation of the state of the fighting.

The TPLF says Abiy’s government has systematically persecuted Tigrayans since he took office in April 2018 and terms the military operations an “invasion.”

Federal troops have been carrying out airstrikes and there has been fighting on the ground since Nov. 4. Ethiopia denied a TPLF claim that federal jets had knocked out a power dam.
