Chapter 452: Stalemate
PS: The real excitement has just begun, so please raise your noble hands, okay?
——————
The second contact negotiations for peace talks on the Somali war also began at the same time as the Somali Supreme Court began its hearing on the illegal incursion of foreign fishing vessels into Somali territorial waters.
This time, the venue for the negotiations was held in the Bagua City International Hotel, with a luxurious conference room on the top floor as the venue for the negotiations, while the negotiators and the UN monitoring team also lived in the Somali International Hotel.
As the first face-to-face meeting between the two sides, the negotiations did not go smoothly as expected from the beginning.
The two sides that had just put down the war and turned off the insurance had not yet dissipated the smell of gunpowder when they met, and the spying exchange at the first meeting had not lasted for 10 minutes, and the bench of the United Nations monitoring team had not yet been warmed up.
The next day's negotiations were still at the beginning, and the two sides did not have many good faces as soon as they met.
As the former president of Somaliland, Kahin is the Somali representative of this negotiation, and if anyone can understand the faces of international politicians, it is him. It can be said that in the whole of Somalia, no one can have a deeper understanding than him.
When he was the president of Somaliland, he was deeply hurt by the empty promises of European and American countries, and not only did he gain nothing, but also suffered heavy losses. Especially in the actions against the Freedom Alliance that year, after the United States promised a large number of benefits, after Kashin agreed, the result was ruthlessly abandoned.
It was not that the United States did not give him any benefits, but came with a boatload of grain and tens of millions of dollars, like sending a flower child. At that time, Cassin was about to blow up, and the United States failed with a word. Shut him up. This has always kept a fire in his heart, and even now, he deeply feels that he is being teased like a fool by the Americans.
Therefore, it was also from that time that Kashin began to have a heartfelt distrust of European and American countries, and the more powerful the country, the easier it was to backtrack. And this kind of thing, the Americans have done too many times. North Korea, as well as Russia at the time of its recent disintegration, were victims.
The new hatred and old hatred add up, and this negotiation will naturally not be so smooth, of course. In addition to being a little emotionally intense, Kashin still strictly followed Li Lan's explanation. What to concede, what to fight for, and the timing of the negotiation process.
Truth be told, Kahin was able to go under such a difficult environment in Somalia at the time. To build Somaliland into the most stable party in the whole of Somalia, with a population and very few deaths of starvation. That's a powerful capability in itself. In Li Lan's words. Any official who is not corrupt during his tenure, but who does not do anything is a kind of corruption in itself. What's the use of being honest no matter how honest you are, but you don't do anything, which is a crime in itself. One can turn a poor and white backwood. Gradually open up the situation of food and clothing, this ability is really not to be underestimated.
And in this negotiation, Li Lan appointed Kashin to carry it out, because he took a fancy to his ability. Or what he once did when he was hurt by European and American countries.
Unlike the strict discipline in court, although both sides of this negotiation showed a high standard, when it came to courtesy, both sides were very lacking.
As soon as the talks began, a new round of confrontation began, and the negotiators of the four countries on the coalition side, as they did yesterday, stood up at the beginning and began to speak on the first item of the peace talks: "The fact that the four countries of the coalition are able to sit down with Somalia and discuss the future of the five countries is the biggest concession made by the four countries, and we are not without the determination to win this war, but we hope to reduce the bloodshed of both sides in consideration of the preciousness of life." Therefore, we will also bring the greatest sincerity, but we also hope that Somalia will also show sincerity, you have taken a big advantage, and our bottom line is unchallengeable. We will not make concessions on the issues on which yesterday's talks were inconclusive, and if we do not see the sincerity of the Somali side, there is no need for this peace negotiation to continue. ”
At the beginning of the second meeting of the peace talks, the coalition forces were still aggressive, showing the posture that a strong country should have. However, this kind of method of his has been used in the international community, and as soon as he comes, he will give the other party a threat to get off the horse and threaten it, and the world has already been familiar with this kind of negotiation.
Kahin is still sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai and does not take the other party's words in his eyes at all, as long as anyone with a little brain understands that if the other side is really determined to fight, then there will be no peace negotiations today. The United States and France are so hegemonic, especially among the countries of the third century, their eyes have always been high, not to mention Somalia, which has always been a colony, has no weight in their eyes. Of course, the situation has changed now, and the United States and France have begun to put Somalia in a high position, but not everyone can change that mindset immediately. Fortunately, these coalition representatives in front of Kashin have already changed their mentality, otherwise they would not have spoken so "politely" today, but used forcible means to directly list the results of the negotiation treaty and unilaterally let Somalia sign it.
At present, Kahin, who seems to be in a passive position, is not in a hurry, in his opinion, it is not who speaks first, who occupies the initiative, nor does it mean that whoever has a loud voice is justified.
"If, as Mr. Anhus has said, is there any need for this peace talks to continue? In my opinion, the end of this war is a huge mistake in itself, because we have not yet played a superior game, so it is a waste of time to negotiate. Cahin replied lightly.
As he said, if neither side is willing to make concessions, there is really no need for the negotiations to continue. As with the Iranian nuclear issue, the US-Iran negotiations would not have been able to continue had it not been for Iran's announcement to stop enriching uranium at 3% and diluting those enriched uranium by more than 20%.
The same is true in Somalia at the moment, where one side has to make concessions in order to have the possibility of continuing negotiations. In this regard, Kahin's words also pointed out that if the coalition forces cannot make concessions, then let the war continue.
Saying this, Kashin is not afraid of really triggering a new war, because it is the other party who stops the war, and he is the one who stands on the initiative. Now these people want to occupy comprehensive national strength to suppress Somalia, it is simply impossible.
If Kahin is still the president of Somaliland, he will not dare to disobey these countries at all, even Italy, which has the weakest comprehensive national strength, he will be obedient and obedient. But now it is different, the Somalia of today is not the Somalia of the past, he has the capital to say these words, and this is where his self-confidence lies.
On the other hand, the coalition side, after hearing Cassin's words, began to communicate closely, and Anhus, the American representative who was elected as the general representative this time, frowned deeply, and he was extremely depressed at the moment. Since embarking on the road of politics, in his life, he has not encountered the situation he has encountered today.
In previous negotiations, when did he not stand in a high position and look at his opponent's panic. Now, he has been ignored by the other party three times and twice, and his attitude is tougher than his own. It made him really uncomfortable. The domestic pressure is tight, and this negotiation must continue no matter what, and if the war continues again, then Obama will not settle accounts with him, and the American people will not let him go.
Moreover, he came over this time, and he also got Obama's secret warrant, and this negotiation is just a drama for the United States to comfort the people and allies, and what the United States really wants, it is basically impossible to get it at the negotiation table.
The corner of his eye swept the whispers between the representatives of the other three countries next to him, Anhus hated this feeling very much, he hoped that there would be only two people in today's negotiation, he and the African in front of him, so that he could complete the task very easily, and there was no need to take care of the feelings of the other three countries next to him.
"Mr. Kahin, it is not up to us to decide whether the war continues or not, our task is to ensure that this peace dialogue can be brought to a perfect conclusion. And then to be worthy of the expectations of the people and the government, I believe that neither the people of either side will want to see the war continue. Especially for Somalia, which has just grown up, the economy has just made progress, and then it has been severely stifled, which is not very uncomfortable. In addition, in the past, the land on which the Freedom Alliance was located was much smaller than the current one, and the southern part of the country was barren and had no development value at all. It will only bring down the economy that has just recovered, so why bother? Anhus intends to work harder, regardless of whether there is a result or not, at least let the three countries around him see his efforts, and he will be able to explain after the meeting.
"Then, according to Mr. Anhus, Alaska does not have a high development value, so why did the United States buy it from the Tsar in the first place?" In reply, Kashin simply ignored Alaska's abundant resources, just as Anjus deliberately ignored the abundant natural resources of southern Somalia.
Seeing that the ball was brought back to him, Anhus did not hesitate, saying: "This is not comparable, the political margins and policies of the two sides are completely different, if you want to sell land in southern Somalia, we are happy to buy it." ”
Anhus's weird words did not make Casin angry, he smiled and said: "In this case, then we also want to buy a large piece of land in the United States, and we don't want other states, just Alaska." We Somalis are roasted by the sun every day and want to try the taste of winter. ”
"There's no need to talk about this topic anymore!" Seeing that the other party was not in the limelight, Anhus was about to change his strategy. (To be continued......)
