Somalia is located on the Somali Peninsula in the easternmost part of the African continent, bordered by the Gulf of Aden to the north, the Indian Ocean to the east, Kenya and Ethiopia to the west, and Djibouti to the northwest.

With a coastline of 3,200 kilometres, Somalia has a total area of only 630,000 square kilometres, which is the best 'gift' from nature.

As we all know, cities near the sea can always rise quickly. This is inseparable from the convenience of sea freight!

However, Somalia with such a 'generous gift' has achieved another reputation - the world-famous 'Somali pirates'.

The special geographical location has created this group of pirates who are 'fearful'. The country's uninterrupted civil strife has also led to more refugees in exile choosing this profession.

From the late 70s to the present, Somalia has been in an era of warlord warfare. Although after entering a new era, due to the intervention of the international community, this kind of 'scuffle' tends to be calm on the surface. In reality, however, with the exception of a few important cities, the rest of the region is still in a state of detachment.

Even these important cities are divided by all forces, and no one is convinced.

To put it simply, I am openly forced to obey you under the pressure of the international situation. But in reality, the area under my jurisdiction is still highly self-controlled. I have my own order, my laws, my troops, my taxes......

I am the representative of the supreme power on my one-third of an acre, and you don't want to meddle in my territory. Otherwise...... Then see you in the hand!

In Somalia, there are at most than 30 'legalized' parties alone. They all have a strong tribal color, but with the baptism of war, the whole territory has also undergone many reshuffles. Today, there are four main parties active in Somalia.

They are: Somali National Movement, abbreviated as ****. Control the entire north-western region of Somalia! It was also once an independent state, and is currently the largest and most armed faction in Somalia.

The Somali Democratic Salvation Front, founded in 1979, is the oldest anti-government organization. If it weren't for the consumption of 'infighting' within the party, it is estimated that it would have been outstanding a long time ago. However, it is still one of the important factions in the region. It occupies most of the east-central part of Somalia.

Rahanwen Resistance Army: This is a highly ethnic armed group, basically composed of Rahanwen people, who established an autonomous government in the Bayi region in the late nineties of the last century, and established the 'Southwestern Somali State' at the beginning of the new era. Or because of internal friction, this 'country China' finally ended up without a problem. However, it still controls the southwestern part of Somalia.

The last is the world-renowned Somali Patriotic Movement, or MPN for short, which was the main armed force that overthrew the Transitional Government in the first place. Although the territory under his control is not large, because it is mostly close to the sea, and in terms of 'living conditions', it is relatively good among several 'autonomous regions'.

It is precisely because of the seaside that this armed organization has been given a broader space for its activities. On the surface, he is at the disposal of the United Nations and uses powerful means to combat 'piracy' in many sea areas. So as to get enough 'compensation' from above!

But secretly, it is the 'king of the island' who controls multiple shipping chokes. For the so-called 'pirates', it is not said to turn a blind eye at ordinary times, but most of them will 'avoid' in a timely manner. Unless they encounter merchant ships that have paid the 'protection fee' in full when they cross the border, they will do their best to ensure their safety.

And the large pirate groups active in this sea area will also periodically hand over a certain amount of money for this 'law enforcement department'.

It is for these reasons that **** has always been the most advanced weapon and equipment in Somalia. Again, the root cause is the abundance of funds.

As for the source of the weapons, most of them are handled by hairdressing arms suppliers. This also makes the ****, who is not outstanding in Somalia in terms of number and geography, but has the deepest background among several factions.

But even so, as long as the leaders of the factions with a little ideological realm covet the area or sea area that can be governed by ****.

After all, in their opinion, the reason why **** can be favored by American and French arms suppliers is entirely because they have money. And their money is all obtained by 'relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to eat the water'.

Then, the battle around this 'fragrant bun' has never stopped. Even if the United Nations intervenes, they cease fire openly and fight secretly.

In this matter, the attitude of the arms suppliers of various countries is naturally 'positive'. Nonsense, the more they fight and the more arms they need, the greater the profit for the supplier.

This is also the root cause of the ongoing civil war in Somalia. After all, none of the countries involved want the war to end. Otherwise, how else can they make money?

The volatile civil war in Somalia has also plunged the region into deep trouble. And the 'plague' without warning has undoubtedly made this already internal and external troubles even worse for this city.

More importantly, this virus, which cannot be 'contained' in a short period of time, continues to spread at a speed that can be seen by the naked eye.

Before Xiao Zhan and his entourage arrived in the city, the United Nations and many other international organizations had already sent representatives here to mediate the fighting between the various factions.

Neither of the Somali factions in power will be fools, if the virus does spread on a large scale. Somalia, the hardest-hit area, is bound to leave not one out of ten households. At that time, there will still be manpower to 'shroud them in horse leather'?

The leaders of the International Red Cross Society and aid agencies from various countries also applauded the entry of the International Red Cross Society and the aid agencies of various countries. Moreover, the specifications given and the guarantees provided are also the highest.

Of course, in order to truly ensure the safety of these medical staff stationed in the hardest-hit areas. The United Nations has also sent a multinational peacekeeping force to accompany it.

And Xiao Zhan and others will enter Somalia in this capacity to thoroughly investigate the specific experimental sites of the Stone Buddha, Chuan Zhenxiangsi and Forbearance......

Separation always makes people feel sad, looking at Guan Ying staggering to the plane, staying in the dark corner of Xiao Daguan, his face showed reluctance.

This time, Guan Ying returned to China with the transfer of the ambassador to Africa, and he naturally didn't need to worry about security anymore. Reminiscing about the non-stop entanglement between the two in the morning. Mian, those warm words still linger in my ears.

Guan Ying did not have any instructions when she left. It's just that after getting out of the car, he re-arranged his clothes for Xiao Zhan. Active pro. kissed him on the forehead and said simply, "I'll wait for you to come home." ”

The more calm the farewell, the more irrevocable it was for Xiao Zhan.

It wasn't until the evacuation of the boarding ladder that Wu Sheng, who came to his squad leader, reminded softly: "Head, we have to arrive in Ethiopia before eight o'clock in the evening to join the large army." ”

Rao is a martial artist who usually talks cheaply, and he didn't say anything more at this time. After saying this, he stood there in silence. Until Xiao Daguan, who said 'um', turned around.

Out of the airport, Xiao Zhan and Wu Sheng got into the commercial vehicle parked there. The kestrel in the car window is still checking the feedback with the headquarters. Some of the information that has been checked seems to have been handed over to the hunters in the back row.

After the two of them got into the car, the tank that drove the car started the business car.

"Head, this is the distribution map of the hardest-hit areas of the 'Ebola' epidemic." As he said this, the hunter handed a local map to Xiao Zhan beside him.

The hardest-hit areas have been marked with red shading, which is clearly marked with a gradual change of color according to the 'severity' of the epidemic.

"Although the incubation period for Ebola is about five days, it can attack in a day or two if the immunity is low. Every test body that escaped death was already in an extremely unhealthy state when it landed on the shore. Therefore, it is assumed that the onset of the disease is usually within a day or so. ”

"So several towns along the Somali coastline have been the hardest hit by the dark. At the same time, it should be affected by wind and waves. A handful of people were sent to the coast of Kenya, causing the Ebola virus to develop in their towns on the border with Somalia. ”

As he said this, the hunter took the pen and marked the area of the sea where the stone Buddha was suspected to be hiding. This is an objective inference based on the location of the 'test body' landing.

Xiao Daguan, who frowned, pointed to this sea area and asked softly: "How many islands are there in this area that are suitable for the construction of laboratories?" ”

The conformity in Xiao Zhan's mouth obviously refers to the external environment. As far as they knew, the establishment of a laboratory was extremely demanding for the external environment. The ideal area is the very center of the natural magnetic field!

At present, there are many natural magnetic fields that have been explored around the world. Originally, the best location for forbearance was the Caribbean Sea in southeastern North America. The world-famous 'Death Delta' is in the heart of that sea. Whether it is a freighter or an airplane, once it passes through that area, it will lose contact with the outside world.

According to what is known so far, it is supposed to be the world's most magnetic, most involved 'natural magnetic field'. After Yin Ren chose to cooperate with the Stone Buddha lineage, it was originally the area of the Huaxia side's primary suspicion.

However, compared to Somalia's complex geographical and political landscape, it is clear that it is not the best place in terms of external circumstances. After all, the military strength of several powerful countries in North America cannot be ignored.

I was afraid that 'stealing chickens would not make a handful of rice's forbearance, so I offended a few of them. Now it seems that they have chosen Africa for the right thing to do.

If the Caribbean Sea had been chosen, then after this incident was exposed internationally by China, even if there was no substantial evidence, it would have aroused the hatred of several North American powers. This will make it even more difficult for the island nation, which is already mired in 'water and fire'.

Faced with the inquiry of his squad leader, the hunter who took out a copy of the information handed it to the other party. At the same time, he briefly described: "The coastline bordering Kenya and Somalia has not been used. Not just because the area is full of pirates, but also because it's a natural magnetic field. It's not easy to plan a sailing route! ”

Xiao Zhan, who had turned a few pages of information, looked up and asked in surprise: "Is this area all there?" ”

The hunter, who nodded heavily, replied softly, "Both! ”

"Can the magnetic field center be proven at the moment?"

In the face of Xiao Zhan's questioning, the kestrel, who was originally sitting in the second row, turned his head at this time and said, "Head, judging from the information we know so far, even if it is discovered, the laboratory may not be there." ”

"Why?"
