PS: 645 monthly passes plus more. The clans that appear in this chapter are by no means fabricated.

――――――

Dahir. Reale. Kahin is the current president of the Democratic Republic of Somaliland, a president who has been in power for six years, a president who is bent on expanding Somaliland's influence, and a president who is desperate to get Somaliland recognized.

Somali society is made up of tribal clans, each ranging in size from 5,000 to over 50,000. The main tribal family in Somaliland is the Isaac clan, from which the president is headed.

Ordinary tribes and armed tribes are completely different. Ordinary tribes, although they also possess weapons for self-defense, are more often civilians. They are all Somalis who are deeply rooted in the teachings of Islam, and only a few tribes have gone to extremes. Use the weapons in your hands to plunder and oppress other tribes.

In Somaliland, the most famous is the Dir, a very warlike tribe, the Somaliland military is controlled by this tribe, and most of the soldiers and generals in it are also from this tribe. The Dir people themselves are a large family, with more than 100,000 people, and the folk customs are very strong.

Kahin is the president elected by the Somaliland Parliament, and as a true clan in Somaliland, the Isaac clan has more than 200,000 people, and all clan branches together have nearly 400,000 people. It occupies one-third of the total population of Somaliland, the second largest tribe is the Dolbakhant tribe, and the third is the Dir tribe.

Somaliland is the most peaceful place in the whole of Somalia and the most economically prosperous region. At its highest. It has a population of more than four million. However, with the rise of the territory. The population has plummeted, those small clans and some individual households. All moved to the territory and broke away from Somaliland.

Somaliland's largest revenue comes from the Port of Berbera, a modern port that was once funded by the European Union. Many cities within the borders of Somaliland have a bit of a modern prototype and a relatively sound teaching system.

In the area of law and order, the Somaliland side has several thousand police forces that maintain inter-tribal stability and social security.

That year, the United States Government held discussions on whether to support the unstable Interim Transitional Government of Somalia or to recognize the more stable Republic of Somaliland. It can be seen that Somaliland is in the eyes of the United States. It also has a certain support value. However, for some reasons, the United States chose the interim government of Somalia, which can pay more benefits. This led to the transformation of the interim government into a full-fledged government, and Somaliland remained an unrecognized state.

At this moment, the president is wandering around his office, and he has reached the not-too-distant future, and everything facing the country of Somaliland is like a raging storm brewing outside the window but not coming. And his mood at the moment is like the gloomy sky outside the window. There was also a hint of anxiety and uneasiness.

There was a knock on the door, and a Somali with eyes walked in. This person is the current Minister of Foreign Affairs of Somaliland, Abdul Rahi. Duari, a top student who studied in the United States.

"How's the council going?" When Kashin saw that the person who came in was his confidant, he asked.

"It's still pulling somewhere. I think it will be difficult to pull out the result if it takes another ten days and half a month. Duari shook his head and said helplessly: "The parliament has also begun to decay. In the face of the problems of their respective tribes, they all want to take the greatest advantage. There is no intention of making concessions, how can there be results. ”

"There are only ten days left. There are not many days left for us to make a decision, and we have not yet discussed whether to go or not, and what interests we are fighting for. By the time the Freedom Alliance called, it was too late. Kashin sat in his chair decadently, his hands propped up on his head, in infinite annoyance.

"Your Excellency, what do you mean? To go or not to go? Duary asked.

"How to say it, it doesn't really make much difference whether to go or not to go. Just look at the policy of the Freedom Alliance, we can't hold our arms and thighs, and we don't have the right to speak. You must know that at the beginning, at the instigation of the United States and Ethiopia, we took the initiative to attack them, and now, we don't even have the strength to speak out on the 10,000 square kilometers of land in the east. ”

When it comes to the Freedom Alliance, even he doesn't know how to describe the complexity in Kahin's heart, both relieved and lonely. As a thoughtful Somali man, he also hopes that his country will become stronger and that his people will suffer less. He also wants to do something for Somalia that belongs to him. But things are often unsatisfactory.

As president of Somaliland, he appears to be in power, but his words and actions are subject to parliamentary scrutiny and the feelings of the tribes. The decree issued was not much of what he really thought at all. Just like last time, when we attacked the Freedom Alliance. The decision on the war is in the hands of the parliament, which has already been bought off by Ethiopia and the United States, and even if he has a great opinion, he cannot change the facts.

The Parliament is made up of the chiefs of the major clans, and there are five other parties in Somaliland, made up of the major clans. Everyone wants a piece of the pie in terms of rights, and it's not too strange to fight occasionally in addition to ripping skin and pulling skin every day.

"Those fools, when will they be able to let go of their desire for power and take a good look at the current situation." Speaking of zuihou, Kashin had already roared: "A country that was originally a few million people, now the population is only half of the original, only the tribes are left, all day long is planning how to suppress the other tribes, in addition to sarcasm and dumping with each other, the rest of the TM is." ”

"Your Excellency the President, then we can't wait!" Duyary said.

"I naturally understand that the other side has a steady stream of support from China, and the Russians are standing behind them, what can we do? Military means cannot be defeated, and peace talks on reunification are more just a pretext. How can a regime that can run five million people like iron buckets run the country alongside other regimes? Our so-called parliament is not even qualified to pour toilets for each other. "Kahin is helpless to the extreme, in his current position. He was at his wit's wit.

"No, it all depends on the president. As long as the president deems it necessary to carry out peace talks. Then send someone over and say whatever you want. It's good to listen to what the other person has to say. Duari said.

"You're right, but do you believe it? I already know what the other party wants to say, and I have already shown it to us. How can a regime that does not allow civilians to own guns tolerate the conditions of those members of parliament who are naïve to idiots. Sending people over will only lead to the situation getting more and more out of control. Kashin said.

Hearing Casin's words, Duary returned to the door, quietly opened the door to his office, and glanced outside. Then he quietly closed the door and walked over to Casin with a puzzled face. He asked in a low voice: "In that case, then Your Excellency the President, should you prepare a way back for your clansmen?" ”

"What do you mean?" Kahin asked, confused. The henchman in front of him made him a little strange.

"The Dir clan is very powerful, and all the soldiers and horses in the country are Dir people, and our Isaac clan, although it is the largest clan, is more eager for peace. I've just received detailed information that the Dir have begun to plot in the shadows. Young people were conscripted into the army and ammunition was distributed. Once the Freedom Alliance is in the hands of the Freedom Alliance, the Nadir will resolutely resist, for the whole clan does not want to be disarmed. Meantime. There are also several tribes that have sided with the Dirs. Prepare to resist to the end. Duari leaned over and muttered in Kahin's ear.

"This ......, reliable information?" Kashin was a little surprised, and said, "That's not what it means. The Dill clan has no intention of accepting peace talks from the Liberal Alliance at all? ”

Duari nodded lightly and said, "Once the resistance of the Dir clan angers the other party. If war breaks out, then we must be prepared to retreat. A shili capable of destroying two armored brigades in Ethiopia and two of ours in a short time, is not at all something that we can contend with, otherwise we will be buried with the Dirs!

I also received news this morning that the US drones are afraid to approach the other side's exercise ground, which shows that the United States also has some scruples about the Freedom Alliance. If you think about it, you can understand that the Americans have always been unscrupulous in Africa, and there is only one shili that can make the United States feel scruples. What do we use to resist, the Dir tribe has chosen a dead end, our Isaac clan has 200,000 people, there is no need to destroy with the Dir clan. Moreover, the chieftain of the Dolbakhant tribe has submitted an application to the Free Alliance, and the entire 150,000 people of the Dolbakhant tribe and nearly 400,000 people from its 27 tribes will join the Freedom Alliance and stand with the Freedom Alliance. ”

Hearing Duari's words, Kahin's heart moved faintly and said, "However, this is also very difficult!" ”

"No, it won't be difficult at all, you know how many tribes have enjoyed the days in that land today that can only be found in dreams? That land has been hailed by Somalis as a land of gods, and the light of Allah shines everywhere. Not to mention others, at least ninety percent of our clan yearns for it. So what if there are no weapons, now in that land there are no security concerns at all. We need weapons to protect ourselves, and if anyone can do that, do we need weapons? You are the chieftain, and the elders of the clan are also on your side, so it only takes a little determination and a nod of your head to do it. ”

Seeing the pensive Kahin, Duari continued to add material and said: "I have known you since I was a child, and it was you who supported me to study in the United States. I remember when I was very young, you told me to use knowledge to change this place, not to make Shijie look down on this place, so that Shijie can give Somalis fair respect. The Chinese have a saying: It is better to be a peace dog than a troubled world. I'd rather start from scratch than let this rotten regime collapse. ”

After listening to Duari's words, Kahin was silent for a long time, and his heart was also in the battle between heaven and man. Recalling the ideal that had been buried in his heart, he had the urge to fight once.

"And what about the other tribes?" Kahin, who began to write ideas in his heart, was silent for a long time before asking.

"At present, there are fifteen clans that have decided to stand with the Dirs, and the total number of direct family members is forty-five. The remaining twelve tribes did not take a stand. However, according to intelligence, there have been at least six tribes in secret contact with the Dolbakhant tribe, and I am afraid that they are also going for the Free Alliance. Duary said.

"The fifty-five members of the second largest clan, once they successfully join the Freedom Alliance, those remaining clans, except for those who have a relationship with us, I am afraid they will all be brought over. When the time comes, Somaliland will be left with our family and the Dir tribe. The split has already begun from within. Kahin thought for a moment and continued to ask, "What are the movements of these shili in Puntland and southwest Somalia?" ”

"South-West Somalia, already in the morning, announced that it welcomes the reunification of peace talks with the Free Alliance. As for Puntland, he has remained silent and has not revealed any intentions. As for the other shili, Islamist groups have not made a statement, and the current Somali government has come out to reject such so-called peace talks without a legitimate name. ”

"I see." Kahin nodded, it was time for him to make a decision, no matter what path he chose, he had no room for regret.

After thinking about it again for five or six minutes, Casin whispered, "Secretly contact the Freedom Alliance." (To be continued......)
