Politics / US To Station Heavy Weaponry In Eastern Europe by theodurbenz(m): 12:38pm On Jun 14, 2015
US to station heavy weaponry in Eastern Europe

The Pentagon is poised to deploy battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and other heavy weapons for as many as 5,000 troops in several Baltic and eastern European countries, the New York Times has reported.

Citing US and allied officials, the newspaper said that if approved, the proposal would mark the first time since the Cold War that Washington has stationed heavy military equipment in the newer NATO member states in eastern Europe that were once part of the Soviet sphere of influence.

Al Jazeera’s Daniel Lak, reporting from Washington, said that “someone at the Pentagon off the record has confirmed to Al Jazeera that this is indeed an active proposal.”

“It’s an incremental change from earlier policies where eastern Europe and several Baltic states were pretty much out of bounds for sending weaponry for possibly deploying troops,” he said.

“It’s a response to what’s seen as increasing tension with Russia and also to requests by all those Baltic states for extra military assistance. They are nervous about Russia’s intention along their mutual borders,” Lak said.

“It’s also for the first time, if it happens, since the Cold War that heavy weaponry like this has been in Europe that was all removed from Europe during the 1990s and up to early 2000s as NATO and Russia became allies.

“It’s a symbol perhaps that situation is changing,” the Al Jazeera correspondent said.
Reassure European allies

The proposal, which seeks to reassure European allies in the wake of Russia’s annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea in March 2014, is expected to be approved by US Defence Secretary Ash Carter and the White House before a NATO defence ministers’ meeting in Brussels this month, the paper said, quoting senior officials.

Asked about the article, a Pentagon spokesman said no decision had been made about the equipment.
“Over the last few years, the United States military has increased the prepositioning of equipment for training and exercises with our NATO allies and partners,” Colonel Steve Warren said in a statement.

“The US military continues to review the best location to store these materials in consultation with our allies. At this time, we have made no decision about if or when to move to this equipment,” he said.

The Times said that as it stood now, the proposal envisaged that “a company’s worth of equipment - enough for about 150 soldiers - would be stored in each of the three Baltic nations: Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. Enough for a company or possibly a battalion - about 750 soldiers - would be located in Poland, Romania, Bulgaria and possibly Hungary.”

The report comes as Russian President Vladimir Putin told an Italian newspaper last week that his country was “not a threat to the West” and that he was still committed to a Ukraine peace deal

uhari’s wife hosts APC women, youths to elaborate dinner

1 hour ago
Wife of the President, Hajia Aisha Buhari, on Saturday hosted All Progressives Congress’ women and youths to an elaborate reception at the old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Hajia Buhari organised the event tagged “Appreciation Dinner” to thank APC stakeholders for working for her husband’s victory in the March 28 presidential election.

The large hall inside the Banquet Hall was filled beyond capacity with flamboyantly-dressed women drawn from all states of the federation.

The hall was tastefully decorated with the white and blue colours of the APC.

The APC Women Leader, Hajia Ramatu Tijani, delivered the welcome address in which she advised that the party leadership must ensure that they deliver on the change they promised Nigerians.

She said the dinner was organised to appreciate those who made the change possible by touring all parts of the country to campaign for the party.

Red luxury buses belonging to the Abuja Urban Mass Transit were used to convey members of different state delegations to the venue.

Former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, who was also the Director-General of the Buhari/Osinbajo Presidential Campaign Organisation served as the chairman of the occasion.

At the time the dinner was ongoing, President Muhammadu Buhari was in Johannesburg, South Africa where he is currently taking part in the ongoing African Union Summit.

It will be recalled that Buhari and his family as well as the family of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo have yet to relocate to the Presidential Villa.

Those who attended the dinner included wife of the Vice President, Mrs. Dolapo Osinbajo; wife of the President of the Senate, Mrs. Toyin Saraki; wife of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mrs. Gimbia Dogara; wife of the National Chairman of the APC, Mrs. Victoria Odigie-Oyegun; wives of APC state governors, APC female deputy governors; wives of former governors on the platform of the party and other top officials of the party across the country.

A national leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, was represented by Senator Babafemi Ojudu.

The dinner which started at 8.15pm with the arrival of the President’s wife was still ongoing at the time of filing this report

The mother, named as Emine A., found out that her daughter Meryem A. was pregnant during a visit to neighbours, the Hurriyet daily reported.

She then went back home to find a gun and returned to shoot her daughter — who worked as a cashier in a market — five times, it said.
