On October 5, 2005, the East African country of Somalia once again attracted the attention of the world. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

That morning, major media outlets in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, published an article with similar content; It reported that under the 'convening' of the Somali Transitional Governorate, representatives of various political parties in Somalia went to the capital to participate in the first "multi-party meeting". In the article, it is mentioned that this 'multi-party meeting' did not involve any foreign forces, and it was completely a 'Somalia peace conference' independently held under the leadership of the Somali transitional political axe.

The articles caused an immediate uproar in major cities in Somalia, with people who wanted peace in Somalia taking to the streets in support of the transitional political axe. Soon, this news was picked up by the world's largest media outlets in Somalia, and in just one hour, it appeared on many well-known web portals.

Somalia is a small country in East Africa, far less 'well-known in the world' than later generations for piracy. It can be said that the reason why Somalia has been able to attract public attention at present is entirely because of the 'side effects' brought about by the border conflict in Soken.

Two months after the border clashes in Soken subsided, the situation in Somalia, which had been quiet, once again stirred up turmoil. This time is more eye-catching than the previous border conflict. Can a 'Somalia Peace Conference', which has failed to accomplish its goals despite the intervention of many countries and even the United Nations several times, without the promotion and participation of foreign forces, can all political parties and forces in Somalia obey only with the nominal transitional political axe in Somalia? In anticipation, many media reporters gathered outside the Central Political Axe Building in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia. Awaiting the outcome of this meeting.

Along with these journalists, there are intelligence agents from other countries gathered in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia. Contrary to the purpose of the media reporters, these national forces thought that the changes brought about by the success or failure of this meeting would once again cause the situation in Somalia to spiral out of control, triggering a new round of military competition and even armed conflict.

At the meeting, which was convened by President Yusuf, the Transitional Governor, all other Somali forces sent representatives to the meeting, with the exception of Somaliland, which has been on the sidelines, and some organizations even went to Mogadishu in person.

The delegation of the Paramenchu Army to Mogadishu was personally led by the Chief of Staff, Colonel Hussein. Under previous agreements, each organization was allowed to bring up to 50 armed members into the capital.

In the solemn hall of the Somali parliament, representatives of Somalia's two quasi-superpowers, 11 first-class forces, and 69 second-rate forces were seated according to the difference in strength.

There were only five people sitting on the podium. One of these five people is naturally the well-known Somali transitional political axe president Yusuf. To the left of President Yusuf sat next to his seat, the current 'president' of Puntland, Mohammed? Mousse? Hash; He is the successor of the current Somaliai Transitional Presidential President, Yusuf. Yusuf once served as the 'president' of Puntland, but later due to internal contradictions and was elected as the leader of the Somali Transitional Political Axe National Assembly, Yusuf resigned as president and took many of the armed forces in Puntland to form a new Somali National Salvation Front. That's why Puntland, the de facto reading country, can't compete with Somaliland. Because it is itself a consortium formed by Yusuf integrating several forces. But because of this, the internal contradictions were very sudden, and eventually there were armed conflicts and other events, so that Yusuf immediately took his descendants away to form a new party after becoming the leader of the Somali National Assembly.

Youssef can be said to be the 'founder' of Puntland, and the one who made Puntland 'weak'.

Whatever the contradictions between Yusuf and Puntland, what everyone sees at the moment is that before the meeting began, President Yusuf turned his head from time to time and whispered to the hashed 'president', and on the surface he looked happy.

On the rostrum, sitting on the left side of the hash 'president', that is, on the far left of the rostrum, is the No. 2 person in the first-class Somali Rahanwen Resistance Army, the former secretary general of the Resistance Army and the current vice chairman of the Resistance Army. Droz looked more like a businessman than a partisan leader, and although the hash 'president' next to him had been talking to President Yusuf all the time and hadn't had any conversation with him, he still didn't care to smile and greet the representatives of the forces below.

On the rostrum, nothing really surprised most of the representatives of the forces than the Arabs sitting to the right of President Yusuf. Throughout the halls of parliament, Arabs are not uncommon, but mostly black. Even among the various political parties in Somalia, few leaders are of Arab origin. Of course, it is not that there is none, as it is well known that Adamu, the leader of the Somali Patriotic Movement, is an Arab Somali.

Seeing the Arabs in their thirties sitting in this important position, many representatives of the forces speculated in their hearts who they were. But with a few exclamations coming from the conference hall. Only then did everyone understand the identity of this 'stranger' who could sit on the rostrum: the chief of staff of the Somali Paramingori Army, and the actual number one person in the Paramingori Army, Colonel Hussein.

Looking at Somalia in 2010, there is no one more 'famous' than the Paraming Army. An armed conflict on the border with Kenya has not only made the low-key Paramingchu Army famous, but also made the parties in Somalia aware of the rise of a new first-class power.

After knowing that the person sitting there was Colonel Hussein, the chief of staff of the Paramingchu Army, some people who were originally dissatisfied immediately shut their mouths. The leaders of the forces who can wrestle with the Kenyan political axe army and also achieve the victory of the dominant surname are fully qualified to sit there.

Hussein, who was sitting on the rostrum, was no longer the son of a fisherman who had nothing at the beginning. As the leader of an organization of 6,000 armed members, he had long been accustomed to being in the spotlight. So he turned a blind eye to the various meanings of the gazes that came from all around the conference hall. From time to time, he bowed his head and chatted with Kenyare, the political axe warlord of Mogadishu next to him.

President Youssef, who was sitting in the middle of the rostrum, coughed into the microphone after being prompted by a member of the staff to signal everyone to be quiet.

"...... First of all, Yusuf said a lot of praise to celebrate the opening of the meeting. He also stressed on many occasions that this conference room was the first formal meeting organized by the Somali people to resolve internal Somali contradictions.

After Yusuf finished speaking, the representatives of the other four major forces on the rostrum also expressed their opinions one after another, and the representatives of the various forces in the audience gradually discovered the abnormalities in it.

In the speeches of the representatives of the four major forces, such as the Paraming Army, they clearly captured a trace of unusualness. The three parties, the Paramingchu Army, the Puntland Axe, and the Axe Warlords, all welcomed the meeting, and were not the ones to participate in it for the sake of so-called attitudes. Some representatives of the forces even speculated that these three forces, plus the political axe, had already cooperated on this matter before?

If this speculation is true, then it is not a good thing for the other forces here. The Transitional Political Axe, Puntland, the Political Axe Warlord, and the Paramingchu Army are two quasi-superpowers and two first-class forces. If these four forces unite. Other weak forces will certainly not be able to withstand the pressure to 'fulfil' the obligations of a Somali citizen. Then, under the impetus of foreign forces, the core dispute of the 'Somalia Peace Conference' that still cannot be resolved will even force the surname to be 'compromised' because of this.

What was the core dispute at the heart of the Somalia Peace Conference? It is for all local forces in Somalia to disarm and form a new defence force. This is the key to all local forces. In this chaotic country, what else can you do if you don't have a horse in your hands? If you don't have someone who works for you, it means that you lose the capital to be the king and hegemon. How did these people who were used to being the emperor of the soil accept it?

Before coming, all the forces were optimistic about this matter. This is because the military might of the Somali transitional political axe does not create an overwhelming advantage over other first-class powers. They believe that as long as everyone joins forces, this meeting will still be a fruitless 'debate'. But at the very beginning of the meeting, there were some bad signs. Signs of the four major forces uniting. If the four powers are combined, their military strength is enough to pose a deadly threat to Somaliland. Not to mention other local forces with hundreds or thousands of people. It is simply impossible to resist the military pressure of the four major forces combined.

“…… At a time when the rest of the world is developing at a rapid pace, Somalia has not only not kept up with the general trend, but has become more and more mired in war and internal conflict, and Somalia has even become synonymous with chaos...... Our compatriots do not have enough to eat, and they have no dignity in the face of foreigners, which is not only a shame for the country, but also a shame for every one of us Somalis...... and if we want to erect a positive image of the country and solve the problem of food and clothing for our compatriots, we must have a unified and strong political axe institution. There is a strong defense force that is united. Instead of bringing the whole country into the flames of war for his own selfish interests......" Yusuf spat and spoke, and even Hussein on the side consciously shrunk his neck, for fear that those spittle stars would splash on his body.

In fact, in Hussein's mind, his perception of this President Yusuf has changed a lot. I don't think this person seems to be so 'annoying'. At least these words are beautiful, and they are still very set in terms of incendiary atmosphere.

When no one noticed, Droz, the vice chairman of the Rahanvin Resistance Army, who was sitting on the far left, frowned slightly. He's now seeing bad signs as well. After a short period of uproar, some representatives of the forces in the audience all showed solemn expressions and listened to Yusuf's speech. Some of the representatives of the forces even took notebooks to write down something. Judging from this discovery, Yusuf's words undoubtedly touched many representatives of the forces. Although these representatives of the 'awakening' forces, the reason for the real 'awakening' is not because of how inflammatory Yusuf's words are, but because of the military oppression brought about by the combination of the four major forces.

It is expected that there will be many forces that will make compromises at this meeting. Vice President Droz couldn't help but feel anxious. There are even some complaints about Gabiyo, the chairman of the Resistance Army, who is far away in Baidoa. Youssef's envoy had hoped that RRA would unite with the Transitional Axe to resolve the core dispute in Somalia once and for all. But the greed for power or other reasons led Gabiyu to decline Yusuf's proposal. As a result, the Rahanwen Resistance Army was isolated by the other four major forces, and the final result was worrying.
