The world is like a huge stage, you sing and I take the stage.

In just about 10 days after the official announcement of the news of East African integration, the integration of East Africa has been set in stone, and the governments of the eight countries have signed a series of agreements large and small with unprecedented efficiency.

While the people of the eight countries were still talking about this, they gradually realized that they had become a member of a huge military and economy.

In the whole of Africa, all those who know Somalia are envious of the Somali people's economic boom in recent years and the people have begun to live a prosperous life, since the founding of the country, they have never been threatened by hunger, and the country's political situation is stable, and it is known as the heavenly kingdom of the whole Africa. It has become the envy of countless Africans.

The most anticipated thing is the economic growth of Somalia, which has grown from a least developed country in the world to a medium-sized country in one fell swoop in just over four years, and its annual GDP has reached the top 25 in the world. It has become the largest economy in the whole of Africa, far more than any other country in Africa. Coupled with the fact that Somalia is not afraid of NATO's strong military, Somalia's status in Africa is already a source of hope for other countries.

This time, the East African Community is dominated by Somalia, which is a very normal thing in the eyes of the whole world. First of all, industry, no one in the whole world dares to doubt that the industry of Somalia, the military equipment of a country, is the best proof of the industry of the whole country, and Somalia has proven itself to the world more than once to be strong and well-established industry.

The second is the military, which also does not need any research, and Somalia's military ranking in the new year's World Military Weekly has been steadily ranked fourth in the world. If it weren't for the fact that the number of armies was not enough to surpass the three superpowers, this ranking would have gone even further.

Finally, the economy. After years of layout, coupled with rapid development after unification. Somalia's annual GDP has reached $1.4 trillion, and although the figure is more due to military procurement, it is enough to explain the rapid growth of the Somali economy. Although this figure is one-twelfth of the total GDP of the United States, in Africa, it is almost the total GDP of the whole of Africa.

The combined GDP of the other seven countries of the East African Community is not a little more than 100 billion, which is far from the more than 1 trillion prime ministers of Somalia.

Combining the three elements, it is also certain that Somalia occupies a dominant position in the community. After all, Somalia, which has rapid development every year, is willing to put aside its rapid economic growth and integrate with the other seven countries in all directions, and the seven countries have taken a huge advantage.

Moreover, Somalia's well-established industry is also an incomparably huge benefit to the seven countries. Militarily, with Somalia behind them, the Seven Nations were even more at ease, and even made them instantly crowned with the title of a great power.

So. The attractiveness of the East African Community to the G7 is definitely not something that other interests can influence.

The week-long talks between the heads of state and the G-7 officially came to an end, and on the eighth day, every reporter in the gossip city received an invitation letter in the name of the East African Community.

Eight o'clock in the morning. Journalists from Bagua City and around the world, the President of the African Union, representatives of the United Nations, and representatives of dozens of countries around the world came to the rooftop conference room of the Somali Government Affairs Building. In the presence of all, the last general agreement of the East African Community officially signed the names of the leaders of the eight countries.

At the same time. In front of the square in front of the gate of the Government Affairs Building, on the platform in the middle of the circular fountain. On a cylinder up to eight meters high and more than three meters in diameter. It is engraved with the contents of the General Agreement of the East African Community, and at the top is the national flag and national emblem of the eight countries. What is curious is that there are obviously large blank spots left on this cylinder. The 64-storey government building has also become a landmark of the East African Community, and between the fountain and the gate, eight flagpoles have fluttered the flags of eight countries, and on both sides of the eight flagpoles, there are still many flagpoles without flags.

The blank space in the column, and the reserved position of the flagpole, are two obvious points to the fact that the East African Community will join new members in the future, and these places are reserved for future new members.

On the top floor of the Government Affairs Building, the celebration of the official establishment of the East African Community was not adjourned. There are so many questions from the outside world, so I set aside time to answer them.

The leaders of the eight countries sat together in a semicircle, with hundreds of reporters in front of them and representatives of various countries sitting quietly on the side.

At the beginning, there were many questions, all about some questions between the eight countries, and the eight people answered them in turn, answering their doubts for the world. This is naturally indispensable for some high-sounding words, all for the sake of political image.

Because the whole event was broadcast live in the eight countries, even in South Sudan, where the media is very backward, Somali TV has set up many temporary news stations to let more people know about the existence of the East African Community, and even in order to let more people understand the meaning of the existence of the Community, many staff members have also gone deep into many primitive tribes, set up temporary broadcast and broadcast points, and translated for them.

The whole Q&A session went quickly, and although some of the questions were still tricky, they didn't hold the eight people.

The Q&A with reporters also ended quickly, although there were still many reporters who were not named, but when the time came, they were not given a chance. Next, Li Lan will give a televised speech covering the entire East African Community.

Everyone moved to the Bagua City Presidential Palace, standing in front of the backyard of the base, and as soon as the time for the live broadcast came, Li Lan also appeared in front of the TV appropriately.

"Today is a great day for Somalia and a great day for the East African Community as a whole, because from today onwards, 210 million Africans will officially embark on the path to a common nation. For today, we have been preparing for a long time, and the seeds planted slowly germinate and grow to today's flowering moment, please let the whole African people witness with us the arrival of the fruit. I believe that today, one year later, the greatest moment for all of Africa, we have finally taken the most powerful step towards hope.

All along, there has been a voice echoing in my head, whether to build Somalia well, or to lead the whole of Africa to progress together. It is not easy for Somalia to get from scratch to today, and today's Somalia has stepped into the most difficult time, from a GDP of only 500 per capita at the beginning, to a per capita GDP of 28,000 now. This is an epoch-making progress and an unprecedented development efficiency.

However, in my heart, I am not satisfied with the results we have achieved so far, because there are still more than a billion African people living in hunger, poverty and war all around us, on the vast land of Africa. Every time I think about this, I am not happy in my heart.

I really wanted to help them, but my limited ability, coupled with too many misunderstandings about me in the international community, and various repressions against Somalia, have always made me feel powerless. But despite this, I never gave up on the idea of saving more Africans.

Before the decision was made to form the East African Community, many people asked me why I did this, because it was not easy to develop a Somali community, and now it is even more important to develop a community with an area of 4 million square kilometers and a population of 210 million. Will it become more misconceptions for the international community? Will it even lead to a drop in your own approval rating?

My answer is that some things have to be done, that Africa's problems are no longer individual problems, and that I cannot afford to sit idly by from the perspective of all of humanity. It was natural that there were many difficulties at the beginning, even more difficult than at the beginning of the development of Somalia, but I did not hesitate in the slightest. I didn't even think about personal knowledge, and there was only one voice in my heart, sticking to my ideals.

Obviously, my vision is right, and I have the support and affirmation of the leaders of the seven East African countries, who are willing to work with me to create an Africa free from hunger, poverty and war. Today is the first step towards realizing our vision, and we will continue to implement it, and let more people inherit our will, even if it takes decades or hundreds of years, to change this situation. ”

Speaking of this, Li Lan paused slightly, he didn't prepare the speech, so he needed a moment to sort out the thoughts in his heart. At this time, he didn't know how many people were in tears because of his words.

"I'm not a very good orator, but I believe that it's best to be bold enough to say what you think, because I have a clear conscience. Today, standing in front of everyone, perhaps everyone wants to know, what is the community preparing to do next?

You may think that we will try to promote the process of the federal state, and we will all focus on it. Now I can sue everybody that that's wrong. The federal state is the inevitable consequence of the journey, and I will not add the icing on the cake, in my opinion, there are only three things to be done next. ”

Speaking of this, Li Lan raised three fingers, then slowly bent down one of them, and continued: "The first thing, the problem of food and clothing, from today onwards, the people of the eight countries are one family, with a population of 210 million, and half of the people are still hungry. From now on, what I want to do is to enable hundreds of millions of people who do not have enough to eat to say goodbye to hunger once and for all.

I have had enough food since seven days ago, and now a large amount of food has arrived in every city, and there will be enough food to be distributed to everyone during the rainy and dry seasons to come. Most importantly, we will give them the best seeds and teach you to plant them.

Remember my words, true abundance is created with your own hands, not by charity. At the same time, I also advise the officials in various localities to do a good job in the distribution of grain, even if it is a grain of grain, I will investigate to the end, and never doubt my determination. ”
