Mohammed? Ibrahim? Avel is Somalia's Minister of Education, and the issue of education is a major headache for an underdeveloped country with a sluggish economy that has just experienced a dozen years of civil war. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Education is the foundation of a strong country, and every country with a strong development has never neglected national education.

As one of the underdeveloped countries, Somalia was also the recipient of assistance from the United Nations Education Fund and humanitarian organizations during the civil war, and in Somalia there were many schools funded by the United Nations and civil society organizations, but they were far from enough to send two million school-age students into the classroom.

After the establishment of the New Deal Axe, both the Political Axe Department and the Somali Invisible Elite Xingchen Group have never relaxed their attention to the issue of Somali education. This makes Avel's job easier than that of other African education ministers who are similar to Somalia.

However, Avel knows that Somalia's basic education is only comparable to that of a few African countries with similar economic conditions, and even in Africa, the investment in education exceeds that of Somalia.

Poverty is an important factor restricting the soundness of the basic education system. The country's inadequate investment in education has prevented the Somali government from enrolling millions of school-age children into the free education system.

Today, however, as soon as Avel had finished attending a national education conference, he received a report from his secretary that the president had invited him.

President Yusuf was invited, and the news surprised Aver. Because he knows that in the presidential council of ministers, he, the minister of education, is probably the least to be seen, for no other reason, because every time he goes to the council of ministers, he will raise an issue: increase the allocation of funds for education.

A minister who only knows how to reach out and ask for money is very unpleasant. Even if the minister's job is all for the future of the country.

Normally, President Yusuf tries to avoid him, but this time he offered to see him. It made Avel feel incredible.

Although Avel didn't know the reason, he didn't dare to slack off. And he is ready to take the opportunity to put forward a proposal to increase investment in education. Even he doesn't have expectations in his mind!

However, what surprised Avir really was that he met other people in the presidential palace.

He also knew these two people, and even had a lot of dealings. One is Deputy Commander Li Mo, and the other is Zhang Fuming, Chairman of Xingchen Group.

Because Xingchen Group will set aside some funds to build some schools every year, it has a good relationship with him, the Minister of Education.

After a few pleasantries, before Avir could make his proposal, he heard a pleasantly surprised news.

Xingchen Group plans to donate $100 million to fund education in Somalia.

This figure is several times more than the annual allocation of the political axe. As far as he knows, although the Xingchen Group has often funded education in recent years, it has never exceeded 10 million US dollars per year.

Aver was stunned by the news, but he quickly reacted, and his first reaction was not to thank him, but to immediately plan in his mind how to distribute the 100 million dollars, which state added how many elementary schools, which city added a middle school, and the education department owed two months of salary payments......

Li Mo and the others were silent when they saw Avel, who was in a trance. Although this little old man is stubborn, his energy and dedication to Somali education are enormous, and he deserves the admiration of all Somalis.

"Minister Avel, our company intends to hold a press conference with the Ministry of Education in three days to announce this important news." The expert coughed twice and said with a smile.

"Oh...... Okay, I'll arrange this little thing. Chairman Zhang, thank you very much for your support and help to the cause of education in Somalia, I think Somalis will not forget you. Avir stood up, bowed solemnly, and said with a grateful face.

"Don't ...... Minister Avel, you forgot. I am now also a member of Somalia and support national education as a Somali citizen. The expert hurriedly stood up and waved his hand. The good impression of this little old man in my heart became deeper and deeper.

However, experts know in their hearts that the $100 million in support of education this time is not purely to support the country's education and development. Another purpose is to improve the cultural level of the Somali people, and gradually reverse the concept of Somalis who are 'tribes are bigger than countries'.

Moreover, it is not without requirements for Xingchen Group to fund education. In addition to the use of part of this fund in accordance with the plan of the education department, part of it should be used for the development of technical education. Its purpose is to train a group of skilled workers, and Xingchen Group will also cooperate with the technical college to accept all graduates. In this way, there is one more benefit to building a technical school to train skilled workers, that is, prestige!

In the plan developed by the organization, the strategy pursued for those tribes that pose a hidden danger to peace and stability in Somalia is to co-opt a group of enlightened people, isolate a group of stubborn conservatives, and crack down on a group of people with great ambitions. In this regard, Li Mo and President Yusuf have reached a preliminary consensus.

Although Yusuf has deep scruples about the tribal issue raised by Li Mo, he also knows that the tribal system will do more harm than good to the unity and stability of Somalia. He supported Li Mo's rectification of hidden dangers in this regard, but did not agree with drastic reforms, but unified step by step like boiling frogs in warm water, implanting the concept of 'country' into the minds of 13 million Somali people. Subtly let all Somalis know that 'country is greater than home'.

Minister Avel can be said to have become a 'pawn' in the whole plan without knowing it, but judging from what several people know about Avel, even if he knows that he is a pawn, he will willingly act as a 'pioneer of reform'.

Soon, the expert was pulled away by the elated Minister Avel, who said to talk in detail about the handover and use of the funds.

"It is also thanks to a group of people like Minister Avel who put the national interest first that the country can move into the normalization of post-war reconstruction and economic recovery in such a short period of time." Li Mo looked at the disappeared backs of the two and praised from the bottom of his heart.

Yusuf smiled and said, "Somalia can go to normal so quickly, and it is inseparable from your support. ”

Li Mo shook his head with a chuckle, he understood that the 'you' in Yu Sufu's words had to be his star organization.

"I don't dare to take credit. The Somali people are the greatest contributor to the normalization of the country. It was precisely such an unknown but persistent group of people who were able to overthrow the colonial rule of the imperialist powers, and it was a group of patriots who pursued freedom and openness that overthrew the Barre political axe and rescued more than 10 million Somalis from oppression and exploitation. Li Mo's face slowly became serious, and he said, "Two years ago, it was you, Your Excellency, the President, and a group of enlightened people who united and ended a civil war that should not have existed. This has brought the country back to life after decades of suffering. ”

Yusuf himself is also a 'warlord leader', but unlike those 'soil emperors' who only hold on to their own one-third of an acre and peep greedily at the territory next to them, he has patriotic feelings and a sense of sovereignty in Somalia. It is precisely people like him, the more they come into contact with the outside world, the more they invent that as president, what comes with it is not supreme power, but heavy responsibility.

Modern society, although not the colonial era of the beginning of the last century. But the law of the jungle is still the constant mainstream of this world. Backwardness and being beaten are not the 'ignorant natives' colonized by the great powers, but also the 'civilized and open-boiled countries' against the 'backward countries'.

Nearly 100 years have passed, and the world is no longer simply colonized by force, but economic control, resource plunder, cultural invasion, sanctions and blockades, and other seemingly more 'civilized and legitimate' methods. Imperialism has put away its fangs and claws, and put on the 'cloak of civilization', which is not the same as changing from a carnivore to a herbivore, but rather an 'evolved' more intelligent, knowing how to hide itself and wait for the opportunity to strike a decisive blow. Instead of showing teeth and claws, you can fight your prey hand-to-hand by brute force.

The way in which the strong dominate and plunder the weak is more secretive and more difficult to guard against. And when the prey is alert but does not know how to protect itself, the greedy 'predator' will also tear off its coat and use primitive means to feast on its prey.

Bald eagles, wolf kings, polar bears, John bulls, Gallic chickens, etc., put aside their internal rivalry and joined forces to elect leaders and hunt for food.

Yusuf is well aware that in order for Somalia to survive in this society, it must first ensure that it does not be eaten before it can evolve into a carnivore. How do you make sure you don't get eaten? Let those hidden enemies realize that eating themselves can be difficult to digest and even traumatic. We want to make Somalia a 'poisonous' food that no one else can eat.

It is very difficult to evolve into poisonous food, and some special means are necessary. endure the pain for a while, but in exchange for long-term peace and stability, no matter what, it is cost-effective.

"Li Mo, I heard that there is a batch of new weapons to equip the First Armored Brigade of the Capital Military Region today?" Yusuf may have felt that the conversation just now was too heavy, and consciously changed the topic.

"Yes, President, the first batch of 'Defender' tanks at the Joint Research and Development Center in Batada Town has already rolled off the production line, and I plan to equip the First Armored Brigade with a batch first, so that the officers and soldiers of the unit can use it to see if there is anything that needs to be improved. Originally, these tanks were to be delivered to the other three countries, but it took me a lot of time to temporarily intercept four tanks. Li Mo said with a smile.

In more than half a month, the first batch of 60 tanks produced by the Second Armored Vehicle Plant was supposed to be delivered to Iran, Syria, and North Korea in accordance with the signed agreement. After some deliberation, Li Mo waved his pen and allocated four vehicles to the First Armored Brigade.

Although the 'Defender' tank has undergone a comprehensive test, there is basically no problem, but Li Mo feels that the time is still too short, and because of the need for secrecy, the people in charge of the experiment are all people from the research center, Li Mo thinks that the inspection of these people is not as good as the inspection of the armored troops who use them themselves. And convincing others on this ground.

"Then we might as well go and see. I have been looking forward to this 'Defender' tank, which has the same surname as the third-generation main battle tanks in Western countries. Yusuf was pleased that Somalia could build a main battle tank that only Western countries and military powers could make, and immediately put forward his opinion to see it in person.
