WATERMELON JUICE Happy New Year 2024! Happy to meet again, loyal friends of Armory Reborn! Hope you are all healthy, happy and enthusiastic. Entering the new year 2024, the international community is still concerned about the ongoing war in Europe and the Middle East. In Europe, the Ukraine vs Russia war has not yet shown a clear solution. In the Middle East, the Hamas (Palestine) vs Israel war is still not over. Israel’s attacks on civilians in the Gaza Strip are very severe and concerning. Israel’s plan to “expel” Palestinian civilians from Gaza has become a new problem. Meanwhile, the number of civilian casualties in Gaza has reached more than 21,000. So, Armory Reborn presents a special article highlighting world conditions in 2024. Apart from geopolitical conflicts, 2024 is an important year because several countries will hold general elections this year. Taiwan’s presidential and parliamentary elections are scheduled to take place on January 13, 2024. Competition between presidential candidates is quite tight, amidst Taiwan’s economic decline and tensions in Taipei’s relations with Beijing. Although the issue of relations with China is still significant, socio-economic issues are likely to influence the results of this election. Apart from that, there is a book review that reviews Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWF). The role of SWF has been recognized as increasingly important in recent years. SWF can play a role in supporting infrastructure development in developing countries. Unfortunately, Indonesia does not seem to have built its own SWF base. Indonesia is still lagging behind neighboring countries such as Singapore and Malaysia. For those of you who like military technology, we present an article about the EMB-314 Super Tucano attack aircraft. This aircraft, produced by Embraer Brazil, is quite popular in the global market. Unfortunately, two Super Tucano aircraft belonging to the Indonesian Air Force crashed due to an accident while carrying out flight training last year. We hope that Armory Reborn friends can enjoy all these articles. Satrio Arismunandar Editor in chief
