The congressional investigation team stayed in Italy for nearly a week, and the planned schedule of the investigation team in Naples was only one day, but the arrival of the famous American technology giant Eva made the head of the investigation team, Massachusetts Congressman Colvin have to stay for a few more days.

Although the general election in the United States has ended, the midterm elections in the United States are still more than a year away. Colvin hopes to run for governor of Massachusetts. Since he wants to run, the support of the owner is indispensable, and Yota Communication's rich woman Eva and Colvin are both Harvard alumni, so for his own political future, Colvin chose to use this opportunity to win Eva's support for himself in Italy, so he deliberately slowed down the entire investigation team's trip, Zoe is just a small reporter, although he is dissatisfied with this, but he has nothing to do.

The reporters accompanying the New York Times felt that even if they gave Friendship Africa Foundation an extra week, they would not be able to fill Mogadishu's warehouses with food, which they did. During this time, Friendship Africa Foundation did not frantically deliver food to the UNRF warehouse in Mogadishu, but instead loaded trucks with sacks emblazoned with the United Nations, the Red Cross, and the bright American Stars and Stripes to Ogaden, Ethiopia's hardest-hit province. But instead of grain, these sacks contain sand.

Yes, the Friendship Africa Foundation is frantically transporting inedible sand to Ethiopia. And all this is being seen by the Somalis in Mogadishu. And the rumor that has been circulating in Mogadishu recently has also made Somalis think it should be true.

"The Americans want more Somalis to starve to death just because they are Allah's people, and the Americans just want the Ethiopians to live. (The dominant religion in Ethiopia is Ethiopian Orthodoxy, similar to the Russian Orthodox Church, but under Italian colonization, the authority of the pope was recognized.) Somalia is dominated by Islam. Somalis are outraged by this idea, and the Red Cross (sent to Ethiopia, so it's not a Red Crescent) symbol, which represents peace and love, now looks so glaring to Somalis.

Discontent and anger began to permeate the streets of Mogadishu, and whenever the friendly African food convoy passed through the streets of Mogadishu, the Somalis on both sides of the road stared fiercely at the bags of bulging grain on the trucks, and their eyes were about to burst into flames.

Boris remotely commanded the subordinates of the Somali Gorky Brotherhood on the Turkish side. After Chebyshev and others returned to Mogadishu on an overnight chartered flight, they never stopped working, and they did not understand why the sand and soil in the warehouse had been transported all the way to Ogaden Province in Ethiopia to be dumped. However, Chebyshev and others alone could not complete such a huge project. They rented almost all of Mogadishu's trucks to transport sand to Ethiopia. In order to maintain secrecy, Boris did not allow Chebyshev to hire locals, but sent additional men from Turkey to Mogadishu.

Just as Mogadishu was making a fuss about the U.S. investigative team's message, a congressional investigative team led by Zoe and Colvin finally arrived in Mogadishu.

Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre showed great interest in the arrival of the Americans, and a few years ago, because of the poor performance of the Soviet Air Force during the Ogaden War, Barre drove all the more than 1,000 pilots sent by the Soviet Union to Somalia out of Somalia, which directly led to the Soviet Union falling to the side of Somalia's rival, Ethiopia. In today's world, unless all countries declare neutrality, they must choose a side between the United States and the Soviet Union, although Somalia is now a socialist country, but they can no longer return to the camp of the Soviet Union, and the United States is the only reliance on Somalia.

Although the purpose of Colvin's trip was to investigate the food reserves of the Friendship Africa Foundation, an ambitious politician would not give up the opportunity to present himself in the diplomatic arena. So instead of immediately engaging in the investigation of friendly Africa, Colvin first played the card with the Barre government and United Nations officials. Even the complete destruction of fraternal Africa would not bring the slightest benefit to Colvin, and it is better to have good relations with politicians from outside the black countries, and there are many journalists among them, and as long as they pass on Colvin's diplomatic skills in Somalia back home, its rivals will be pulled down.

Both Zoe and Colvin stay at the International Hotel in the center of Mogadishu, where Zoe meets Jimmy again. Jimmy tells Zoe everything he has discovered during this time, and Zoe looks confused after hearing this. "Why did friendly Africa start sending grain to Ethiopia again?" she asked. What exactly do they want to do? ”

"I don't know, I just know that their convoy departs from Mogadishu every day to Ogaden province! But the team is full of their people, and I can't get any more inside information! Jimmy replied.

"It's okay, it's too late for them to think about it now to help those victims, I don't believe they can still conjure those 7 million tons of grain out of thin air!" Zoe said disappreciatively.

In Mogadishu, there is little overlap between foreigners and locals where foreigners and international organizations live, presumably because of security concerns, and journalists like Jimmy live in safe zones designated by the United Nations. So the situation in Mogadishu is not clear to these foreigners.

Since Zoe came with the investigation team, his actions still need to be legally approved by the investigation team. So Zoe can't leave here without permission. But this Colvin seems to have forgotten all about his visit to Mogadishu.

Rubik and others, who were photographed by Yakov in Mogadishu, also hid in the safe zone where foreigners live in Mogadishu, and their mission this time was more complicated, but it was one of their tasks to kill Zoe. Before accepting the new order, Rubik and others posed as United Nations staff and stayed in the International Hotel, monitoring the delegation's every move. At the same time, they are preparing for another task.

A few days later, Mogadishu's largest local newspaper published an article headlined "Grain is going to be taken away by the Americans!" 》
