  • Trump Administration Allies Have Burrowed Into 24 Critical Civil Service Positions and 187 Last-Minute Appointments
    Trump Administration Allies Have Burrowed Into 24 Critical Civil Service Positions And 187 Last-Minute Appointments SUMMARY: Following the outgoing administration’s “quiet push to salt federal agencies with Trump loyalists,” an Accountable.US review has found that, as of February 22, 2021, at least 24 Trump administration political appointees have “burrowed” into long-term civil service jobs in the new Biden administration. This includes at least four figures in the national security apparatus, nine figures with environmental regulators, three figures in the Department of Justice, two figures in the embattled Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and at least six other appointees elsewhere who have refused to step down in the transition. Burrowing of this sort is not treated lightly, as officials who transfer from political appointments to career positions must undergo scrutiny by federal personnel overseers for a full five years—and some of these cases have been found to violate federal laws and have drawn congressional scrutiny. However, there is a much wider slate of concerning Trump administration appointments that are not subject to such strict oversight: During the Trump administration’s waning days following the 2020 election, it announced 187 last-minute appointments to various boards, commissions, and councils that don’t require Senate confirmation. While some of these appointments have already drawn alarm for going to campaign staffers, megadonors, and top administration allies, Accountable.US has unearthed even more troubling names in Trump’s outgoing deluge. Similar to how early Trump administration personnel picks were directly conflicted against the offices they served, many of these late Trump appointments are woefully underqualified or have histories directly at odds with the positions to which they were named—and they are likely to stay in long into the Biden administration.

  • Extremism and Terrorism
    Yemen: Extremism and Terrorism On September 11, 2021, militants fired a ballistic missile and explosive-laden drones toward the Red Sea port city of Mocha in Yemen, destroying several warehouses of humanitarian aid. No casualties were reported. Officials from the internationally recognized government blamed the Houthis, who did not immediately claim responsibility for the attack. The strikes came as the Houthis continued their assault on the northern Yemeni city of Marib, a stronghold of the internationally recognized government. Between September 2 and September 4, at least 22 pro-government forces were killed and 50 were wounded in fighting with the Houthis. At least 48 Houthi fighters were also killed during that period. (Sources: Associated Press , Jordan Times) On September 1, 2021, Saudi forces intercepted and destroyed three Houthi drones over Yemen, which the Saudis said were targeting civilians. On August 29, Houthi forces launched armed drones and ballistic missiles toward the al-Anad military base in southern Yemen, killing at least 30 soldiers and wounding 60. At the same time, the Houthis continued to engage government-backed forces around Marib and the surrounding areas of Al-Mashjah, Al-Kasarah, Jabal Murad, and Rahabah. On August 30, at least 11 government-aligned soldiers were killed and several were reportedly wounded. Iranian media claimed dozens of Arab coalition fighters were killed in the fighting. Yemen’s Armed Forces Guidance Department estimated at least 800 Houthi fighters were killed during 72 hours of fighting. Military officials claimed Iran sent military experts and fighters from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Iraq, and Lebanon to provide reinforcements to the Houthis.

Earlier, the Council of Ministers advised the Commission to elaborate the SDGs further. It was a formidable challenge for the Commission to elaborate the SDGs particularly to identify indicators, benchmark them along with projected targets for the next five years, and to develop a credible monitoring and evaluation framework. The Commission responded in right earnest and met thrice times during the year 2006-07. The SAARC Secretariat took the lead in arranging a Regional Brainstorm (Workshop) in January 2007 preceding the third meeting of the Commission to facilitate its work.
