Chapter 126: Bossaso City is empty

In the land of China, countless office workers and ordinary people, alone or reunited with their families after work, also have many habitual turn on the TV set and watch the TV station.

As the saying goes, the first ten minutes of the country's leaders are very busy, sacrificing their lives for the people. In the middle ten minutes, the country is changing with each passing day, and in the last ten minutes, foreign countries are in dire straits, which is already the impression that many people have always had on CCTV.

Today's news is the same, except that the next fifteen minutes are in dire straits. A minute-long documentary, followed by a one-minute war disaster film. The television station summarized the two-minute news with the same country and different appearances, and also advertised the following programs, and many military documentary columns of the central channel will broadcast the details of this video.

In the news, the TV host complained in harsh terms about the atrocities committed by Bossaso's government forces. On many local channels, news tracking on this matter was also launched at the same time.

The news media on the Internet also did not hesitate to put this video in the most conspicuous position on the homepage, and the number of views is increasing rapidly every second.

Not only China, but also Russia's state media, like China, have accused Bossaso's government forces of wantonly starting the war with disregard for the safety of civilians.

You can never know the truth when it comes to news media opinion. If at home the news is controlled by the government, then abroad, the news is controlled by the big media companies in addition to the government. If most of us know that news broadcasts are false, then in foreign media, most foreigners do not know that their media is fake.

But. This time, the Chinese and Russian media did not deceive. These videos are all real. And at a breakneck speed, it is circulating on the Internet. Shijie's major media have also published relevant reports one after another.

The situation in Somalia has once again entered Shijie's eyes, and unlike the strong condemnation of some third Shijie countries such as China and Russia, the news media of some allied countries in Europe and the United States have not evaluated this matter in a good or bad way, because they are only evaluating it purely from a military point of view.

No one doubts the authenticity of this video, because it is true, and from the many signs in the video, the authenticity of the video can be positive. And on the streets in the video, corpses are strewn all over the field to many civilians in Shijie. It was a great shock.

In fact, when China played this video for the first time, a lot of bloody scenes had been cut off, and the corpses in the picture were very complete, and those bloody pictures were cut for fear of negative effects.

And on many Shijie websites, all the videos uploaded are full, and the level of gore is very terrifying. It's like being there. This also led to the fact that public opinion in Shijie began to condemn the atrocities of its Bossaso government forces.

Not only internationally, but also in many parts of Somalia, there are areas where civilians gather. The video is also going viral, and there are always people with devices and playing in the crowd.

The Tyranny of a Dictatorship. Millions of Somali civilians in Bossaso are facing death! 》

When many European countries and the United States reacted and wanted to change the direction of public opinion. This video and slogan have spread all over Shijie. As a last resort. Many countries have been able to carry out retrograde reports, claiming that the rebels have invaded Bossaso, engaged the government forces, and caused countless civilian casualties at the hands of the rebels.

The same video, two completely different interpretations, Shijie's public opinion is always developed under artificial guidance. Media outlets in many countries have begun to send teams of journalists to Bossaso, a city that has been set on fire by the fighting.

On the contrary, many civilians in Bossaso are far away from Bossaso, and tens of thousands of civilians flee every day, and the whole of Bossaso is depressed every day, and civilians are no longer seen on the streets. No one dared to take to the streets with weapons, and those civilians who did not leave had to close their doors and pray all day.

Even in downtown Bossaso, which is tightly controlled by government forces, a large number of civilians are fleeing one after another, because here there are daily car explosions and RPG shells exploding in the streets from time to time.

This was the retaliation of the Bosaso government forces by eight tribal forces, who infiltrated the center of Bossaso and carried out retaliatory attacks one after another, attacking many government departments, even the port and airport, which were hit by several shells.

A flight from Djibouti to Bossaso was also fired at by anti-aircraft machine guns, but fortunately only slightly damaged the plane and had only one or two passengers on board.

Aweil's month-long military campaign, although it wiped out most of the armed shili, brought endless trouble to himself. The rebels scattered in the city are planning attacks every day, which also makes the government army anxious.

When the government forces pursued these armed men, they also caused great casualties to civilians, and many civilians who had weapons in their homes were charged with crimes, and many were shot without even having a chance to argue.

This fierce arrest operation quickly got out of control, and many soldiers began to loot in an organized manner. Within a few days, the whole of Bossaso was really about to become purgatory on earth.

In order to retaliate against the eight tribes, the government army, with armored troops as the vanguard, captured the gathering place of the eight tribes in less than two days, and a large number of tribal civilians were directly shot and killed, and this killing of the tribe lasted for three days. After the government troops withdrew, eight tribal areas on the outskirts of Bossaso were wiped out, both men and livestock, not even cats and dogs.

Only those who did not remain in the tribe survived, and these people launched a new round of retaliatory attacks, and the atmosphere of terror in Bossaso reached its peak in a short time.

At this time, there were no merchant ships willing to dock in Bossaso, and the operation of the port was basically at a standstill, and all production work was stopped in an instant.

However, all this did not make Awei give up, he is still arresting rebels, conscripting young people into the army every day, and he still receives all kinds of arms aid every day. The support of many countries for him has not changed because of his actions.

However, there were still many people who warned him, but it didn't enter Awei's mind. He had never felt such a refreshing feeling these days.

A large number of weapons arrived in Bossaso, and his strength grew every day, and although the armored vehicles and tanks were obsolete in the last century, they were already very strong for him. And at the behest of other countries, a dozen or so large armed forces in Bossaso City became his subordinates overnight.

In just half a year, his strength has grown explosively, and he is stronger than the troops of many countries in Africa. Now, even the army of Puntland, he does not pay attention. Because at this time, both in terms of the number of troops and the armament, he was already stronger than the Puntland Republican Army.

And through the purging of Bossaso, he also got a lot of gains, those armed shili who were purged, more or less have a certain amount of family assets, and now these have become his personal property. Relying on these captured booty alone, he could arm tens of thousands of people.

In his eyes, having a gun is equal to having someone, and someone having a gun is equivalent to having strength. If there are more people and guns, then he will have the strength to dominate. Therefore, while the battle continued, he never stopped building up his strength.

However, six or seven months had passed since the outbreak of the fighting in Bossaso, and when he had really cleared out all the enemies and had not seen any attacks for several days, he realized that things did not seem to go according to his trajectory.

"Mr. Chief, there are no enemies left in all of Bossaso now, and all those who resist Shili have been eliminated." In Awei's office, a senior officer of the government army reported to Awei, who had recently begun to gain weight again, with a happy face.

"How is the recruitment and training of recruits going at the moment, and are the weapons in place?" Awey Road.

"The training of the recruit camp has been going on, but the recruitment of new recruits, at present, Bossaso is running out, and there is no way to recruit new recruits." The smile on the officer's face disappeared, and he replied with some concern.

"What!" Awei exclaimed, jumped up from the seat, and the fat on his body shook and roared, "How can there be no one." ”

Because of the fear of being attacked, Awei has not gone out for a long time, and his eyes are only on the area around the government building, and the situation in other places is reported by his subordinates.

"In the past six months or so, there have been those who have been killed, those who have fled, and now there are only a few residents around the embassies, and there are no civilians in other places." The officer replied.

"Bastard, this matter weishenme didn't report it sooner." Aweel was furious, "So many civilians, where did they go?" ”

However, this kind of thing cannot be blamed on the people under him, and the flight of civilians from the war is extremely normal, and no one has gone back to pay attention to this.

"Most of it went west, some went south, and a small part gathered at the foot of the mountain to the east."

"There are no residents, what will I use to raise an army of seventy or eighty thousand, immediately give me a way, I must find all the residents back, I will give you a month, if the population of Bossaso does not recover, I want your life." Avel is still concerned about his income, there is no tax without residents, and at present, there are not many ships docking at the port due to the war, and the tax collection work is facing a halt. Furthermore, if a city has no inhabitants, is it still called a city?

Just as the officer hurried out, the phone rang in Aweil's office.

"Hey!"

"Mr. Minister, Radio Channel XXX, listen up." (To be continued......)
