Egypt, Somalia, and Eritrea Forge Alliance Amidst Ethiopia Tensions
Egypt, Somalia, and Eritrea Forge Alliance Amidst Ethiopia TensionsASMARA, Eritrea - In a significant diplomatic move, Egypt, Somalia, and Eritrea have solidified their alliance, escalating regional tensions primarily directed against Ethiopia. Somalia, feeling its sovereignty threatened by Ethiopia's recognition of Somaliland, has found common cause with Egypt, leading to increased military cooperation. Notably, Egypt has begun deploying military equipment and personnel to Somalia, not only to bolster its military but also as a strategic message to Ethiopia. The Eritrean President, known for his reserved foreign policy, sees this alliance as a means to counterbalance Ethiopia's regional maneuvers. Such an alliance could reshape the geopolitical dynamics of the Horn of Africa, influencing everything from trade routes to military alliances.

Egypt's El Sisi and Somalia's Mohamud head to Eritrea for talks as Ethiopia relations sour
Egypt's President Abdel Fattah El Sisi arrived in Eritrea's capital Asmara on Thursday for talks with his Eritrean counterpart Isaias Afwerki, the Egyptian presidency said. Their visit comes during heightened turmoil in the Horn of Africa amid multiple wars and disputes that have changed the region’s dynamics significantly. Egypt then began conducting talks with Eritrea in September to explore increased military and intelligence ties, Egyptian former assistant foreign minister Rakha Ahmed Hassan told The National. Eritrea and Ethiopia have had a historically fraught relationship, which was described by the United States Institute of Peace as more akin to a rivalry in a 2023 report. Egypt and Eritrea have maintained strong diplomatic relations since Eritrea's independence from Ethiopia in 1993.

JFNA supported hundreds of events in US, Canada to memorialize Oct. 7
Two years have passed since the murder of Jina (“Mahsa”) Amini, a young Kurdish-Iranian woman, at the hands of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s morality police. Amini was brutalized and killed for allegedly wearing her hijab, or head-covering, improperly – the sort of “crime” that sends a backward theocracy apoplectic with rage. Her death sparked the “Women, Life, Freedom” movement, the latest and perhaps most significant wave of protest among the millions of ordinary Iranians who have been clamoring for regime change for well over a decade, but who have so far been unable to dislodge the ruling mullahs.

Social Security’s cost of living increase ‘won’t make a dent’ for retirees
By Fatima Hussein | The Associated PressSherri Myers, an 82-year-old resident of Pensacola City, Florida, says the Social Security cost-of-living increase she’ll receive in January “won’t make a dent” in helping her meet her day-to-day expenses. About 70.6 million Social Security recipients are expected to receive a smaller cost of living increase for 2025 than in recent years, as inflation has moderated. The Social Security Administration makes the official COLA announcement Thursday, and analysts predicted in advance it would be 2.5% for 2025. The maximum amount of earnings subject to Social Security payroll taxes was $168,600 for 2024, up from $160,200 in 2023. The Republican Study Committee’s Fiscal Year 2025 plan has proposed cutting Social Security costs by raising the retirement age and reducing the annual COLA.

GSK to settle 80,000 Zantac cases for up to $2.2 billion
By Ashleigh Furlong and Jef Feeley | BloombergGSK Plc said it will pay as much as $2.2 billion to resolve about 80,000 US court cases related to allegations that its old reflux medication Zantac was contaminated with a suspected carcinogen. The cases represent about 93% of those against the company involving Zantac, GSK said Wednesday in a statement. The US Food and Drug Administration asked companies producing Zantac to remove all ranitidine-based drugs from the US market in 2020. Pfizer agreed to settle more than 10,000 related cases, Bloomberg reported in May. Valisure had alleged that GSK knew and hid the risks of Zantac from the US government.

Nearly 20% drop in scripted film and TV production for greater LA area
The greater Los Angeles area suffered a nearly 20% drop in scripted film and television production in 2023 compared to the prior year, continuing several years of declines, according to a report released Wednesday. FilmLA, the area’s film office, reported that the region’s scripted film and TV production fell to 183 projects last year, a drop of 45 from the prior year, and representing only a small fraction of the 990 total projects produced in all jurisdictions in 2023. According to FilmLA, the greater Los Angeles area was home to nearly 23% of scripted projects in 2021, but that share fell to 22% in 2022 and slipped to 18% last year. “For each film industry supplier that closes his or her doors due to lack of steady work — those entrepreneurs no longer employ people, generate sales taxes or pay rent. “Our community members’ livelihoods are on the line, which is why Los Angeles County launched the Entertainment Business Interruption Fund, and we continue to explore ways to incentivize local production,” Horvath said.

Ethiopia: The Allegories of Political Games and Leadership Chauvinism
At embarrassing magnitudes, US Special Envoy to Horn Africa, Mike Hammer, is the one who is enshrined with ultimate authority in dictating what Ethiopia has to march with and not! What are the certain provocations of the United Arab Emirates in aligning with the Paramilitary Forces in Sudan, the regime in Addis Ababa, Somaliland and others? The questions are endless but failures to read neighbors and the global geo-politics working frames has now left Addis Ababa in certainty of uncertainties. Refrain or Exacerbate: The Illusion of the Political AllegoriesAddis Ababa has still been continuing its exacerbating moves. This in return has been widening the political vacuum in Ethiopia and, apparently, is galloping the country into losing all-round major battles.

Ethiopia’s “Tourism Washing” StrategyThe Ethiopian government has increasingly relied on “tourism washing,” a tactic used to divert attention from internal crises. International tourism bodies, like the UNWTO, must enforce stricter standards for transparency in tourism marketing, ensuring that promotional materials reflect the real conditions on the ground. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories/ethiopia-travel-advisory.html United Nations World Tourism Organization.

Honda recalls nearly 1.7 million vehicles over steering problem
Honda Motor Co. is recalling close to 1.7 million vehicles due to a manufacturing issue that could make it difficult to steer the vehicles and lead to crashes. Honda reported the recall last week to government regulators, who issued the recall order on Tuesday. The vehicles covered in the recall were from model years 2022 to 2025 and include certain Acura Integras, Honda Civics, Honda CR-Vs and Honda HR-Vs. The NHTSA announced an investigation of the problem back in March after it received 145 complaints from Honda Civic drivers that their steering could stick, forcing them to exert extra effort to turn the steering wheel. At the time of the original announcement earlier this year, the NHTSA said it had no reports of crashes or injuries from the problem.
