''Donald Trump queries health and terror funding''

Kenya is stressed over a conceivable withdrawal of US
support for its crusade in Somalia, taking after a progression of inquiries
sent by approaching President Donald Trump's group to the State Department. The
battle against Al Shabaab is just a single among issues concerning Africa
raised by the Trump move group, made open by the persuasive New York Times
daily paper at the end of the week.

Others questions recorded allude to a conceivable move in
American strategy on exchange and crisis subsidizing for HIV/AIDS patients.
Kenya is stressed in light of the fact that if the answers don't conciliate the
new organization, which assumes control over this Friday, it could trigger a
noteworthy approach change influencing Washington's support for the
administration's counter-psychological warfare program and its battle against
the Aids pandemic. One of the inquiries drawn up by Trump's consultants would
we've say we've is: "been battling Al-Shabaab for 10 years, why haven't we
won?"

Addressing The Standard on Sunday yesterday, Government
representative Eric Kiraithe said the inquiries "ought to absolutely
stress Kenya". Concern spins around what the Trump organization will do in
the continuous war against the Somalia-based Al Shabaab, in which the African
Union strengths get urgent calculated support from the US. The request, which
is a piece of Mr Trump's arrangement for government, goes ahead the primary
commemoration of the bleeding assault in El Adde, Somalia, in which Kenya lost
almost 100 warriors because of the activists. The way the Trump group has
surrounded the question is much the same as an interest for results for the
billions of shillings that the US Government has soaked in the counter-fear
based oppression hostile in the Horn of Africa. Mr Kiraithe, himself a senior
security figure, commented: "We are at war with Al-Shabaab. We value the
bolster the US has given us and we will be sharp as accomplices in provincial
security on the off chance that he (Trump) added more driving force to that war
and much convey an executioner blow." Kenya has troops in Somalia battling
Al-Shabaab. President Uhuru Kenyatta has over and over pledged the nation's
fighters will remain in Somalia until the activists are vanquished. Under active
President Barack Obama, the US has had "one of the most profound and most
critical security connections for the United States in all of Africa", as
indicated by Robert Godec, the US Ambassador to Kenya. The formal military ties
started in 2010 when the two nations marked the Kenya National Military
Strategy agreement and the White Paper on military collaboration. The thought
was to support Kenya's military capacities and expand security relations
between the two nations.

Just two months back, Mr Godec commented, while giving more
than six helicopters to the Kenyan military: "We reaffirm that the United
States is and will remain your unfaltering accomplice in the battle against
fear based oppression and radicalism." Another question that the Trump
group put to the State division peruses: "A large portion of AGOA imports
are petroleum items, with the advantages going to national oil organizations.
Why do we bolster that enormous advantage to degenerate administrations?"
President Kenyatta's organization is at present under attack over abnormal
state defilement in government and its inability to manage misappropriation of
State assets. His relatives have been involved in faulty manages government
services. AGOA alludes to the Africa Growth Opportunity Act, a particular
exchange agreement, which permits sub-Saharan African nations to fare products
to America without paying assessment. The exchange arrangement is a key part of
Kenya's global exchange because of the fares of material and clothing, tea,
espresso and titanium, in a circumstance that has made the US Kenya's
third-biggest fare goal. "(The question about) AGOA involves worry to
us," said Kiraithe. Another program that could be influenced is the $7
billion 'Power Africa' program started by President Obama. As ahead of schedule
as 2013, Mr Trump had said the program was just an approach to pump billions of
dollars into Africa's famous political kleptocracy.

"Each penny of the $7 billion going to Africa according
to Obama will be stolen - defilement is wild!" he tweeted. Mr Trump's
group has additionally scrutinized the President's Emergency Program for AIDS
Relief (PEPFAR), a program that achieves about 11.5 million individuals with
life-sparing against retroviral treatment and has given more than 11.7 million
intentional therapeutic male circumcision strategies in Africa. The Trump group
asked: "Is PEPFAR worth the enormous speculation when there are such a
large number of security worries in Africa? Is PEPFAR turning into an enormous,
universal qualification program?" The New York Times cited J Stephen
Morrison, the executive of the Global Health Policy Center at the Center for
Strategic and International Studies, saying the inquiries demonstrated an
"overwhelmingly negative and demonizing viewpoint" on the landmass. 

John Lewis: Trump hammered for assault on rights symbol

Government officials, performers and others have gone to the protection of a US social equality campaigner, Congressman John Lewis, who has turned out to be entangled in succession with President-elect Donald Trump.

Mr Trump tweeted that Mr Lewis was "all discussion" and ought to concentrate on his constituents, after he said Mr Trump was not a real president.

In any case, Mr Lewis' supporters responded with outrage, saying he was a saint and symbol.

Mr Lewis was a main figure in the 1960s social liberties development.

The column came as social equality activists drove by Rev Al Sharpton started seven days of dissents in front of Mr Trump's initiation on 20 January.


Marten Luthar

A few thousand dissidents overcame close solidifying temperatures to walk to the Martin Luther King Jr Memorial in Washington DC, droning "No equity, no peace".

In a different advancement on Saturday, African American Broadway star Jennifer Holliday hauled out of performing at the introduction after weight from supporters, a hefty portion of them from the LGBT people group.

Holliday, who has sung for both Republican and Democrat presidents, apologized for her "lack of foresight" and said she didn't understand her interest would be viewed as communicating backing for Mr Trump.

Mr Lewis, a Democrat, said on Friday he would not go to the introduction in light of the fact that he didn't see the Republican as an authentic president.

"I think the Russians took an interest in helping this man get chose," he told NBC's Meet the Press. "Furthermore, they annihilated the bid of [Democrat] Hillary Clinton."

Mr Trump reacted in tweets on Saturday: "Congressman John Lewis ought to invest more energy in settling and helping his locale, which is not doing so good and coming apart (also wrongdoing pervaded) as opposed to erroneously whining about the race comes about. All discussion, talk, talk - no activity or results. Tragic!"

Be that as it may, Mr Lewis' supporters rushed to rally round.

California Senator Kamala Harris, a Democrat, said it wasn't right to treat him along these lines.

"John Lewis is a symbol of the Civil Rights Movement who is valiant in the quest for equity and uniformity," she tweeted. "He merits superior to anything this."Others said Mr Lewis' boldness and the way that the trade had occurred on the eve of Martin Luther King Day, on 16 January.

A considerable lot of them connected to photographs of the two men, or to the 1965 supposed Bloody Sunday walk in Alabama, in which Mr Lewis got a cracked skull as the challenge was fiercely separated by police.

Republican Senator Ben Sasse tweeted his support, saying Mr Lewis' "talk" had changed the world. In any case, he said he couldn't help contradicting his choice to blacklist the introduction, including: "It isn't about a man. It is a festival of tranquil exchange of force."

Team Trump: Flynn called Russia ambassador, no sanction talk 'plain and simple'

The Donald Trump move group has recognized that its approaching national security consultant has been in contact with Russia's minister yet denies reports they were plotting over as of late forced endorses on Moscow.

A move group official recognized an approach Dec. 29, the day President Obama hit Russia for race related hacking, however said the discussion was in regards to "coordinations" for a call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Trump, who on Friday is confirmed as president.

"That was it. Plain and straightforward," the authority told columnists on the group's day by day telephone call.

The authority said resigned Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, Trump's pick for national security consultant, messaged Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak to wish him a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. He said Kislyak, in an arrival message, asked for and was conceded a telephone discussion in late December about the "coordinations of setting up call with the president of Russia and the president-elect."

Flynn's contacts with the Russian minister were initially revealed by Washington Post feature writer David Ignatius.

"I trust Ignatius will print an overhaul now that he has been given data to clear up," the move official additionally said.

It's not surprising for approaching organizations to have examinations with remote governments before taking office. In any case, rehashed contacts similarly as Obama forced assents brought up issues about whether Trump's group talked about - or even formed - Russia's reaction.

Reuters reports that Flynn and Kislyak talked a few circumstances on Dec. 29.

Putin out of the blue did not strike back against the U.S. for the move, a choice Trump immediately commended.

All the more comprehensively, Flynn's contact with the Russian envoy proposes the approaching organization has as of now started to lay the preparation for its guaranteed nearer association with Moscow.

That exertion gives off an impression of being advancing, even the same number of in Washington, including Republicans, have communicated shock over insight authorities' evaluation that Putin propelled a hacking operation went for intruding in the 2016 presidential race to profit Trump.

In a meeting distributed Friday evening by The Wall Street Journal, Trump said he may get rid of Obama's approvals if Russia works with the U.S. on engaging psychological militants and accomplishing different objectives.

"On the off chance that Russia is truly helping us, why might anyone have sanctions?" he inquired.

Amid a news meeting Wednesday, Trump highlighted his hotter compatibility with the Russian pioneer.

"In the event that Putin likes Donald Trump, I think about that as an advantage, not a risk, since we have a ghastly association with Russia," he said.

The authorizations focused on the GRU and FSB, driving Russian insight offices that the U.S. said were included in the hacking of the Democratic National Committee and different gatherings. The U.S. additionally kicked out 35 Russian representatives who it said were really insight agents.

Trump has been willing to embed himself into major outside approach issues amid the move, on occasion negating the present organization and strategic convention.

He acknowledged a call from Taiwan's leader, disregarding the longstanding "One China" strategy that does not perceive the island's sway. Gotten some information about that Friday by the Journal, he reacted, "Everything is under arrangement."

He likewise freely encouraged the U.S. to veto a United Nations Security Council determination denouncing Israeli settlements, then hammered the Obama organization for going without and permitting the measure to pass.

Inquiries regarding Trump's agreeable stance toward Russia have developed since the race, as he has expelled U.S. knowledge organizations' affirmations about Russia's part in the hacking of Democratic gatherings.

In instructions Trump on their discoveries, knowledge authorities additionally gave the president-elect unconfirmed cases that Russia had amassed trading off individual and monetary affirmations about him, as per a different U.S. official who talked on the state of namelessness on the grounds that the authority was not permitted to freely examine the matter.

The Senate Intelligence Committee declared late Friday that it would examine conceivable contacts amongst Russia and individuals connected with U.S. political battles as a major aspect of a more extensive examination concerning Moscow's interfering in the 2016 presidential race.

Trump recognized surprisingly this week that he acknowledges that Russia was behind the hacking. Be that as it may, he doubted whether authorities were spilling data about their gatherings with him, notice that would be an "enormous smudge" on their record.

Flynn's own particular ties with Russia have stressed a few Republicans who are more incredulous of the Kremlin than Trump seems, by all accounts, to be. In the wake of leaving his position as executive of the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2014, Flynn showed up on RT, a state-run Russian telecom company. In 2015, he was paid to go to a RT celebration in Moscow, where he sat alongside Putin.

As national security counselor, Flynn will work in the West Wing near the Oval Office and will have visit access to Trump. Not at all like Trump's chosen people to lead the Pentagon, State Department and other national security organizations, Flynn's post does not require Senate affirmation.

Flynn's contacts with the Russian diplomat were initially detailed by Washington Post writer David Ignatius. The U.S. official who addressed The Associated Press was not approved to affirm the contacts openly and demanded obscurity.

The Trump group's record of Flynn's contacts with the Russian emissary changed for the duration of the day Friday.

Trump representative Sean Spicer at first said there was one telephone call amongst Flynn and Kislyak on Dec. 28, and in addition a Christmas welcoming through instant messages over the occasions. He said authorizations were not part of the talks.

Later Friday, a move official said Flynn and Kislyak had talked by telephone on Dec. 29, taking after an instant message from the represetative the day preceding. Amid the call, the Russian envoy welcomed U.S. authorities to a meeting on Syria in the not so distant future that is being held in Kazakhstan, as indicated by the move official, who was not approved to freely talk about the matter and demanded namelessness.

The authority likewise affirmed a telephone call between the men prior in December.

The U.S. official who addressed the AP Friday portrayed the contacts amongst Flynn and Kislyak as "exceptionally regular."

It's indistinct how U.S. authorities got to be distinctly mindful of the contacts amongst Flynn and Kislyak, who has served as Russia's agent to the U.S. since 2008. U.S. observing of Russian authorities' correspondence inside the United States is known to be normal.

Flynn has talked with other remote authorities since Trump won the November race, as have approaching White House senior consultants Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner, Trump's child in-law. State

Office representative Mark Toner said he doesn't sa anything improper in Trump's move group reaching Russian or some other remote authorities.

                               Can Obamacare be repealed?

                                    

VIEW VEDIO

Will Obamacare be revoked?

Republican administrators have attempted more than once to upset Obamacare since the wellbeing law's entry in 2010. In any case, be cautious what you wish for.

From 20 January, the gathering will control the White House and both councils of Congress without precedent for 10 years.

Presently their constituent base anticipates that them will act.

Will Republicans at long last have the capacity to fix President Obama's mark local arrangement accomplishment under a Trump administration?

Remind me, what is Obamacare?

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act intends to decelerate the development of US wellbeing spending, which is the most elevated on the planet.

The framework is kept dissolvable by an individual command that requires Americans who don't get restorative protection through their managers, or free medicinal services from the administration, to purchase such scope through government-run sites.

The program offers sponsorships to make medical coverage more moderate and intends to decrease the cost of protection by bringing more youthful, more advantageous individuals into the medicinal scope framework.

Obamacare likewise requires organizations with more than 50 full-time representatives to offer medical coverage.

Why is it so questionable?

There are around 20 million Americans who now have medical coverage under the law.

Yet, the program has been shaken over the previous year by swingeing premium climbs and a trio of national guarantors surrendering the online commercial centers.

The individual order is additionally profoundly disliked on the grounds that numerous uninsured Americans who wind up paying punishments to the US assess experts are low-to-direct pay specialists juggling rent, auto installments or understudy credits.

Be that as it may, the law is additionally well known in light of the fact that it bans insurance agencies from denying wellbeing scope to individuals with prior wellbeing conditions and permits youngsters to stay on their folks' arrangements until age 26.

Obamacare has additionally challenged Republican expectations that it would bloat government consumption - the Congressional Budget Office says canceling the bill would expand the elected spending shortage by $137bn (£112bn) by 2025.

Can it be canceled?

Traditionalist administrators don't have the votes expected to cancel Obamacare by and large.

However, they are finding a way to destroy the law through a unique spending procedure.

Directly in the wake of assembling the 115th Congress, the Senate voted 51-48 to open verbal confrontation on a spending determination to redesign Obamacare.

The determination, with floor votes expected when this week, would prompt to a spending compromise bill to decimate significant arrangements of the wellbeing law and keep it from subsidizing.

Congress could dispose of government appropriations, upset a heap of Obamacare-related expenses, and gut subsidizing to grow Medicaid, an elected medicinal services program for low-salary Americans.

Still, there might be cutoff points to what the recently engaged Republicans can accomplish even with a brought together Democratic resistance.

Preservationists' for some time loved dream of annulling Obamacare could be bound to vacillate in an administrative, intra-party and bureaucratic entanglement.

So what can Democrats do?

Democrats are relied upon to convey a "vote-a-rama", briefly postponing the spending determination with many revisions.

Be that as it may, the determination and the resulting spending compromise charge just require a straightforward larger part to go, rather than the 60 votes ordinarily required.

There are 52 Republicans in the 100-situate Senate, so in the event that they all stick together - and that could be a major "if" - Democrats don't have the seats to stop them.

What's the course of events here?

Cancel enactment could go to a vote when February.

Republicans have been touting a move period since they're careful about pulling the mat from under the feet of the 22 million individuals at present secured by Obamacare.

One proposition congressional pioneers appeared to mix around was cancelation and-postponement, that is, toppling Obamacare and giving it a chance to remain for up to three years while Republicans create an option.

Be that as it may, a few of the gathering's legislators have communicated solid reservations about disposing of the wellbeing law without a satisfactory substitution.

Furthermore, Mr Trump told a question and answer session he needed the bill revoked and supplanted "basically at the same time".

One noteworthy issue with that is the gathering would require a 60-vote lion's share in the Senate to pass another law, and Democrats could delay that inconclusively.

What can Trump do?

In the event that he chooses to hurl a monkey torque into the machine gear-pieces of Obamacare, Mr Trump doesn't need to sit tight for Congress.

He would have the capacity to do it with a stroke of a pen.

As president, he could basically drop the government's allure against a claim, House v Burwell, which Republican House of Representatives individuals won in April 2016.

That lawful activity contended the Obama organization was illegally burning through cash that Congress had not formally appropriated by repaying wellbeing back up plans who give scope to low-salary policyholders.

In the event that Mr Trump selects to drop the organization's test, safety net providers who are at present giving profound rebates to a large portion of their clients would lose their repayments. What's more, that, say investigators, would send Obamacare into a demise winding.

So Trumpcare here we come?

Few points of interest have been prospective on what might supplant the Obamacare and despite the fact that Republicans have bandied around heaps of thoughts, there appears to be little agreement in transit forward.

Most preservationist proposition look to some extent like Obamacare, however with more costs moved to customers and less individuals secured.

One annulment charge go by House Republicans a year ago - and vetoed by President Obama - would have wiped out the individual order.

Most Republican arrangements call for protecting - in some shape - Obamacare's prohibition on back up plans denying scope for prior conditions.

Different thoughts call for in part privatizing Medicare, the administration social insurance conspire for the elderly, or stripping subsidizing from Planned Parenthood, the family arranging bunch that gives premature births.

Whatever traditionalist officials do, they'll be aware of political implications and the purported Pottery Barn run - If you break it, you claim it.

 Gambia debate: African Union 'won't perceive' President Jammeh

VIEW

The African Union has said it will no longer perceive The Gambia's President Yahya Jammeh as the nation's pioneer from Thursday, when his term lapses.

The coalition cautions of "genuine results" if Mr Jammeh's refusal to surrender control causes an emergency. Prior, Adama Barrow, who won later the late presidential vote, told the BBC that he trusted he would be confirmed one week from now.

Nigeria's pioneer has traveled to Banjul to attempt to facilitate a conclusion to the gridlock. His MPs have voted to offer Mr Jammeh shelter to help negotiations.Mr Jammeh had at first surrendered overcome, however later challenged the 1 December decision. He needs the outcomes repealed after the constituent commission conceded a few blunders, in spite of the fact that it demands this did not influence the ultimate result.

The 51-year-old pioneer seized control in the modest nation in 1994 and has been blamed for human rights mishandle, in spite of the fact that he has held consistent elections.The Supreme Court can't hear the test until May in light of a lack of judges, and Mr Jammeh says he won't venture down until then.

Meeting in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, the AU peace and security committee approached Gambia's security powers to practice restriction. In an announcement, it cautioned of "genuine outcomes if his [Mr Jammeh's] activity brings on any emergency that could prompt to political issue, helpful and human rights debacle, including loss of blameless lives and pulverization of properties".

In the mean time, remote pioneers from provincial alliance Ecowas, drove by Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, have landed in The Gambia to again attempt to induce Mr Jammeh to venture down on calendar.
The gathering has cautioned that it would consider evacuating him utilizing military compel in the event that he can't. In any case, Mr Barrow, a property designer, told the BBC's Newsday program that he would lean toward a "tranquil move".
He said he respected the move by Nigerian MPs to offer Mr Jammeh refuge, however said he didn't feel the circumstance would "get to this level".

"We need to keep Jammeh in The Gambia, I don't believe there's any requirement for him to go to another nation."

He approached Mr Jammeh to "regard the constitution" and take part in direct talks.

"We tackle our issues inside ourselves without the intercession of anyone. I imagine that is the thing that we'd lean toward," he said.

A legal advisor for Mr Jammeh on Thursday recorded a demand with the Supreme Court requesting an order to piece Mr Barrow's swearing-in.

Mr Barrow won 43.3% of the vote contrasted and Mr Jammeh's 39.6%. A third applicant, Mama Kandeh, got 17.1%.

Gambia decision emergency: What next for Jammeh?

Gambians voted and a champ was announced; the washout yielded however later rejected the outcomes. The failure, occupant strongman President Yahya Jammeh, is presently trying to have the race upset in court. Will this question make a sacred emergency in the modest West African country? The BBC's Umaru Fofana clarifies.

I comprehend there are no judges…

Documenting an appeal to is one thing - when the Supreme Court will hear the case is an alternate circumstance inside and out. At present, the Supreme Court is not completely constituted.

Of the seven-part board, just the main equity is in his post. The others are definitely not. Two judges were sacked by President Jammeh in June a year ago.

President-elect Adama Barrow and his coalition of seven political gatherings have said The Gambia has not had a working Supreme Court for as long as year and it would be inadmissible for Mr Jammeh to delegate judges now to manage this case, as he is an invested individual.

A representative for The Gambia Bar Association says it is exceedingly improbable that the court will have the capacity to achieve a decision before Mr Jammeh's order terminates on 18 January, focusing on that the constitution does not accommodate him to stay in office from that point, notwithstanding for a solitary day.

Who does the armed force back?

Mr Jammeh came to control in an overthrow in 1994 and has represented with a firm hand from that point forward. He has held a few races, in the midst of charges of extortion and terrorizing. 

So there is a point of reference for Mr Barrow to be confirmed while Mr Jammeh is as yet going to court it is impossible that the strongman would concur.

So it was something of an unexpected when soon after Mr Jammeh yielded, the coalition said that Gambian Armed Forces boss Ousman Badjie had addressed the president-elect and promised his dependability to him.

owever, since Mr Jammeh's U-turn, the armed force is by all accounts taking requests from him.

Gen Badjie purportedly touched base at converses with West African pioneers on Tuesday wearing an identification including Mr Jammeh's face on his uniform and told a journalist that it was Mr Jammeh who was paying his wages.

Troops have since grabbed the base camp of the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) - they have not clarified why.

Why did Mr Jammeh alter his opinion?

Mr Jammeh said that in the wake of yielding triumph, it rose that huge numbers of his supporters were dismissed when they went to vote on the guise that the resistance applicant had officially won.

He additionally scrutinized the IEC's clear irregularity when it reconsidered the outcomes after they had been declared.

The IEC let it out had blundered amid the count.

In one territory, the aggregate quantities of votes cast was erroneously added to the counts of all applicants.

The IEC demands that Mr Barrow still won however his triumph edge had limited from 9% to 4%. Mr Barrow got 43.3% of the vote, Mr Jammeh 39.6% and a third competitor, Mama Kandeh, 17.1%, as indicated by the reexamined figures.

Mr Jammeh indicated this in his national address however some say the genuine explanation behind his change of tune may be discussion that he would be indicted for claimed human rights mishandle.

Is it true that it was a slip-up to state he would be arraigned?

It was not useful for a senior individual from the resistance coalition, Fatoumata Jallow-Tambajang, to have talked about prosecuting Mr Jammeh.

Despite the fact that Ms Jallow-Tambajang demanded that she was communicating an individual view, it is difficult to draw a line between what she said and what the coalition considers.

President-elect Barrow has over and again declined to state whether his organization will attempt his antecedent, yet in one of the meetings I had with him, he compared the circumstance to Nelson Mandela's involvement with the hands of the politically-sanctioned racial segregation government in South Africa and his choice not to indict his corrections officers when he got to be president.

A few MPs in Mr Jammeh's APRC party I addressed sounded furious about the possibility of him being arraigned.

That could have changed states of mind.

An affirmation from local pioneers that he would be saved arraignment may be vital to achieving a settlement.

Could there be outside military intercession?

A senior authority of the West African territorial body, Ecowas, has said it is "conceivable" that a constrain will be sent to The Gambia if discretionary endeavors to convince Mr Jammeh to venture down fizzle.

Warrior planes of neighboring Senegal have been seen in the skies in Senegal's capital, Dakar. Their goals are, notwithstanding, hazy.

The two neighboring states have had extremely chilly relations under Mr Jammeh.

That in any case, remote military intercession is far-fetched.

Is a monetary barricade likely?

The Gambia is a little segment of land encompassed on three sides by Senegal, which could force a financial bar, cutting off generally imports.

In any case, representatives in Senegal say this is not bolstered by a portion of the nation's political gatherings and in addition nationals who say it will wind up harming customary Gambians and in the long run Senegalese organizations.

At the point when is Mr Barrow expected to be confirmed?

As per The Gambian constitution, a president stops to be president precisely five years subsequent to being confirmed. Mr Jammeh promised of office for the fourth time on 18 January 2012. Another president must, accordingly, be confirmed on 18 January 2017.

After the 2011 surveys, the losing competitor, Ousainou Darboe, documented a request of to test the outcome yet Mr Jammeh was sworn before it had been listened.
