Sudan’s police arrest UNAMID peacekeepers accused of smuggling weapons

January 20, 2017 (EL-FASHER) - The government of North Darfur state Friday has arrested Indonesian soldiers belonging to the hybrid peacekeeping mission in Darfur (UNAMID) for carrying smuggled arms upon leaving El-Fasher airport.
Deputy Governor of North Darfur Mohamed Hasab al-Nabi told Sudan Tribune that security organs at El-Fasher airport on Thursday seized large amount of weapons and ammunition which was in possession of a UNAMID force.
“The UNAMID force was departing after completing its service within the framework of the routine change. In accordance with the information obtained by our security organs, weapons and ammunition were seized besides some other materials that look like dust and stones,” he said.
Meanwhile, in a press release extended to Sudan Tribune Friday, the hybrid mission confirmed the incident saying "a number of weapons and military-related items were found by UNAMID Security in some checked-in luggage" during a rotation of a UNAMID contingent at El Fasher airpot.
In its short statement, UNAMID underlined they altered the Sudanese authorities and launched an investigation.
Hasab al-Nabi said that the force held these weapons and ammunition illegally, adding the state government took the necessary legal procedures and the rest of the moves would be taken by the federal government, Foreign Ministry and the concerned bodies.
For his part, the director of customs police in North Darfur Asim Hamid told Sudan Tribune that their unit at El-Fasher airport has arrested the Indonesian force in possession of the weapons.
He pointed the customs unit was inspecting personal baggage of the departing Indonesian force and 29 Kalashnikov rifles, 4 guns, 6 GM3 guns and 61 various pistols besides large amounts of ammunition.
Hamid further stressed that his forces are ready to protect the security of the country and ensure safety of passengers, praising the customs police in El-Fasher.
The hybrid mission has been deployed in Darfur since December 2007 with a mandate to stem violence against civilians in the western Sudan’s region.
It is the world’s second largest international peacekeeping force with an annual budget of $1.35 billion and almost 20,000 troops.
UN agencies say there are nearly 2.5 million displaced persons in Darfur, despite the signing of peace agreement in Doha in July 2011.

The overall tone for BTR-4M 2nd trial report sounds positive and encouraging. Just the opposite from the 1st trial report. Worth a 2nd chance then. Does it means we gonna buy more?

Indonesian Army Plans to Buy Austrian Pandur Armoured Vehicles

Pewarta: Supervisor

Jakarta, (Antara) - The Indonesian Army plans to procure Pandur II 8x8 armored vehicles developed and produced by an Austrian company in an attempt to strengthen Indonesia's primary weapons defense system.

"We have discussed to buy Pandur to substitute our old military equipment," Indonesian Army Chief of Staff General Mulyono stated during a leaders' meeting of the Army here on Monday.

He said that the purchase of Pandur had been included in the 2017 strategic plan.

Mulyono pointed out that the Pandur II 8x8 was an improved modular all-wheel-drive version of the Pandur 6x6 APC wheeled armored vehicle.

"The purchase will become our priority," he noted.

However, Mulyono could not divulge the number of Pandur units that would be purchased.

"We have not spoken about the number of units. We are still discussing the specification and the functions of the Pandur," he stated.

Indonesia's growth is on track and continue to expand, even in 2014 and 2015. The nominal GDP can be misleading, implying that the economy is contracting, while in reality it is still growing at steady pace. This is due to changes in IDR and USD exchange rate.

GDP PPP more accurately shows the rate of growth, Indonesia is currently at 8th position

http://statisticstimes.com/economy/countries-by-projected-gdp.php

Even by very conservative projection of $1,200 billion nominal GDP in 2020, Indonesian military budget will continue to dwarf Malaysian military budget, especially with the expected huge revenue windfall from tax, due to recent highly successful tax amnesty.
Regarding to millions of Indonesian workers in Malaysia, it is a good thing. They are economic heroes, siphoning so much Malaysian capital for transfer to Indonesia. So, Indonesia will get even more prosperous. I hope we can divert much more capital from Malaysia to Indonesia. Thanks for the money!


I know that you are in a state of denial.But, just accept the inevitable, Indonesia will be greater than ever!

Defense Minister: AW101 Chopper Purchase Still Unclear

23 Januari 2017

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu was hesitant to comment on the final decision to purchase the AgustaWestland AW101 helicopter as he previously said that the decision to purchase the helicopter was canceled.

“I’ll coordinate with the new KSAU (Air Force Chief of Staff). We’ll coordinate to clear things up,” Ryamizard said on Friday, January 20, 2017.

Minister Ryamizard confirmed that he once said that the purchase was canceled since President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo declined to approve the purchase. “Yes, that was yesterday (I’ve once said that), it would then be handled by others, soon. But ask the new KSAU for details,” he said.

The new KSAU, Marshall Hadi Tjahjanto, was recently appointed by President Jokowi on Wednesday, January 18, 2017, to replace the vacant position left by Marshall Agus Supriatna, who is entering his retirement.

When further asked upon the plans to purchase the AW101, the Defense Minister stated that the final decision to purchase the U.K. and Italian-made helicopter will be communicated with every related party.

Hadi only provided a brief answer when being asked about the purchase. “Oh that’s still being discussed," he said.

The purchase of the AW101 has been in talks since 2015. The Air Force planned to purchase three units in 2016 and 2018. The helicopter would be used for transporting VIP guests, including the President and Vice President, as well as state guests.

The plan was finally scrapped after Jokowi considered it too expensive. Nonetheless, by the end of 2016, the air force planned to go forward with the purchase to be used for combat and rescue operations.
