Chapter 2: The Stargate Incident

Hearing Shi Shaoying and their side talking about the situation in Somalia, two other young female reporters from France in the cabin also came over, and five people with the same goal naturally got together in this small world to exchange information that might be helpful to everyone.

It was during the one-and-a-half-hour exchange that Shi Shaoying gained the most direct understanding of the current situation in Somalia, especially in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia. Many of these are in China, which is difficult to find through the Internet, so little information is known.

Somalia has had quite an illustrious history. Ancient Somalia was the most important commercial center in Africa, and their seafarers and merchants sailed out to bring out a steady stream of **, myrrh, and spices, and were priceless luxury goods in ancient Egypt, ancient Babylon, and Phoenicia.

In modern times, Somalia has successfully expelled British invaders four times, and it was not until 1920 that the British defeated it, and since then the entire country has been at war and continues to this day. During this period, Somalia also had a very brief but rare period of peace.

During the previous Somali government, the Union of Islamic Judges was in power, and the country gradually became stable, and Somali civilians no longer had to worry about bullets flying from somewhere, even when they took to the streets. However, after the 911 incident, the United States included Somalia in the second batch of targets because it suspected that the previous Somali government was secretly supporting al-Qaeda.

The United States supported Ethiopia's invasion of Somalia, the expulsion of the Union of Islamic Judges, and the establishment of a new government, plunging the country back into the darkest age of warlordism.

The nearly 100-year war has completely destroyed Somalia's former glory and made it one of the poorest and most backward countries in the world. In the case of their capital, Mogadishu, there is only one public hospital and 62 private clinics, and there is an extreme shortage of medicines and medical equipment, with only one-third of the population having access to medical care and 75 percent of the population not having access to clean drinking water.

The extremely harsh living environment has made the average life expectancy of people living in Somalia only more than 40 years, the malnutrition rate of children under the age of five is nearly 30 percent, and on average, one out of every four babies dies.

The above figures can probably make the scalp of anyone living in a peaceful environment tingle, but they are far from telling the truth about the current situation in Somalia!

From a military point of view, the entire city of Mogadishu is divided into 16 districts, of which 14 are occupied by government forces, and the other two are still in the hands of the ** army. It is impossible for a city to have two armed forces that are hostile to each other, with little possibility of reconciliation, and there is no way that they do not clash fiercely every day!

There are battles around us every day; Every day, people plant bombs on the side of the road and try to attack the armored vehicles in which the UN peacekeepers are occupied, because in their eyes, the UN peacekeepers are the aggressors; Every day Islamist militant groups are on the move...... In order to protect themselves, almost every adult man in Mogadishu, except for children and women, has an automatic rifle.

The men here don't have enough to eat, they don't have enough clothes, they don't have clean fresh water, they don't have health care, they don't have AIDS, but even so, they still carry AK automatic rifles that cost up to $700 each in Somalia, and they are stuffed with $1 bullets!

The poorer you are, the more wars there are, and the more wars there are, the higher the rate of firearms circulation, and the higher the rate of firearms, the poorer you are......

The city of Mogadishu, and the whole of Somalia, has entered a vicious circle of whirlpools, from which it is impossible to extricate itself. It is no wonder that some people once exclaimed after witnessing everything in Somalia with their own eyes...... This is a land that has been completely forgotten by God!

In fact, the cause of this state of affairs is far more than just God's work. Two thousand years ago, there were almost no pirates in Somalia, and believers were strictly forbidden to engage in piracy and other work in the Islamic doctrine, and the government of the "Union of Islamic Judges" was not unscrupulous in its fight against piracy. It was not until the expulsion of the "Union of Islamic Judges" that the whole country fell into civil war again, and a large number of desperate pirates put down their fishing nets and picked up rifles and bazookas.

It can be said that Somali pirates are rampant, and the United States has absolutely inescapable involvement.

In essence, if it were not for the colonization and wealth plundering of Britain in the last century, and without the US government's wanton intervention under the banner of anti-terrorism ten years ago, the Somali people would definitely be better off than they are now!

"By the way, have you heard of the Stargate incident in the Gulf of Aden?"

Perhaps thinking that the issue being discussed is too heavy, a French female journalist suddenly throws up a topic that borders on a science fiction movie.

Stargate?!

As a professional writer, Shi Shaoying just wanted to scoff at this, but found that several well-informed war correspondents around him were nodding slightly.

Seeing the disapproving look on Shi Shaoying's face, Sikong Bowen whispered in his ear: "Don't use subjective judgment, easily veto some unknown things that you don't understand, don't know, and don't know." You have to understand that in reality, some mysterious things are often more mysterious in nature than science fiction. Like what...... Bermuda, pyramids, stone statues of giants. ”

At this time, two French female journalists and Himar had already started a heated discussion about the "Stargate in the Gulf of Aden" incident.

As an observer, Shi Shaoying must admit that he has opened his ears.

On the night of December 8 of one year, a blue light suddenly rose into the sky from behind a mountain in northern Norway, then stopped in mid-air and spread around, and after a few seconds, a huge spiral luminous object appeared in the air. A green beam of light then shot out from the middle of the spiral and lasted for twelve seconds before disappearing completely.

Many Heavenly Families are unable to come up with a reasonable explanation for this strange phenomenon. Later, some people said that this "light burst" phenomenon was caused by the explosion of an intercontinental missile test-fired by Russia, but the Russian government came forward to deny it. For a time, the "light storm" incident in northern Norway became a puzzle that no one could explain.

In May of the following year, a Russian female scientist died suddenly and mysteriously. The day before her death, she mentioned the "light storm" incident in northern Norway to the outside world, and admitted that the light storm incident at that time was a phenomenon generated by the relevant departments of the United States when they carried out quantum communication, and quantum communication was to open the interstellar door over Norway.

On November 14 of this year, in just one day, there were 62 earthquakes in the Gulf of Aden, including 41 earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 to 4.5 and 10 earthquakes of magnitude 5.0 or higher, and the coast of Djibouti, the coast of Yemen, and the Gulf of Aden were included in the earthquake area. This series of earthquakes has attracted great attention from countries around the world, and warships have been sent to the earthquake area to investigate, and the reason is ...... Fight Somali pirates!
