Chapter 744: Somalia Re-establishment 3
"China's decision to reinstate its embassy in Somalia and send a team to reopen the embassy reflects the great importance that China attaches to China-Somalia relations and its firm support for the reconstruction of the Somali country. China will take the resumption of its embassy in Somalia as an opportunity to comprehensively strengthen friendly cooperation with Somalia in various fields, jointly create a new situation in China-Somalia relations, and contribute to the realization of lasting peace and national reconstruction in Somalia. β
Well, it is still the usual tone of the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but when talking about the personnel of the resumption of the embassy, Sister Ying changed her tone and said with a calm smile: "The team leader sent to Somalia to resume the work of the embassy this time is called Mu Yang, and Mu Yang represents the former work in the press office of the Information Department, and is also my colleague in the same office, I hope that Mu Yang's work in Somalia can go smoothly."
Foreign countries are concerned about China's resumption of the Somali embassy, while domestic netizens are more discussing Muyang, the 27-year-old team leader. Many people have expressed concern that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sent such a young man to such a complicated place in Somalia to carry out the work of reopening the embassy.
"There is a resume of this Muyang diplomat on the Internet, good guy, one jump a year, he is promoted fast enough, and now he is already in the right position at the age of 27, which is enough."
"Find out the inside story and report it to the Commission for Discipline Inspection."
"First of all, I want to explain that there are a lot of young cadres in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this is due to the nature of the work, and besides, is it very unusual to be 27 years old, the 28-year-old mayor of Nanyang City reported last year, whether the 28-year-old main hall is good, this is all a fuss, I haven't seen it."
"Now it's the chargΓ© d'affaires, and when the Somali stick is set up, it's the ambassador. I have to mention the deputy hall, the 27-year-old deputy hall is fast enough. This is made of rockets. β
"Above, crooked building, the main thing is that people are risking their lives to work, what kind of place is that in Somalia, there are shootouts every day, people die all the time, and it is not safe to wear body armor when you go out. Mogadishu is known as the world's number one chaotic capital, and I'm worried about being so young. Whether he can bear such a burden, he can't do it. β
"I searched for Muyang, he has a high degree of education, and now he has a doctorate. But from university to master's degree. and then to the doctorate, all of them are language learners, and his resume says that he can speak 11 foreign languages, a proper scholar, but such a nerd, can he survive the chaos, I doubt it. β
"People aren't just top students, haven't you seen reports before? Hit the American police, one hit six. Known as an iron-fisted diplomat, I don't know, I'm lonely. β
Well, Muyang's glorious history has been turned out again.
Whether it was questioning or distrust, 5 days later, Muyang and others began their trip to Somalia. They had a total of 11 people and 5 staff members of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, namely Mu Yang, who led the team, Zheng Yunliang, deputy team leader, and Jiang Jia'an, Feng Chao, and Li Shanwen, who were team members. There are 4 armed police soldiers, led by captain Liao Kaiqiang. There are also 2 CCTV reporters Yuan Bingzhong and Ding Xiaoxi.
After learning that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was preparing to reopen the embassy in Somalia, the Central Television Station immediately contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and prepared to send a documentary film crew to conduct an all-round follow-up and filming report on the entire resumption of the embassy and the current situation in Somalia.
In the end, for propaganda reasons, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs agreed, and in this way, two reporters were added to Muyang's team, but fortunately, both of them were men, so it would not be inconvenient.
Good guys, these two people each have a camera, from Muyang they started to follow and shoot at the beginning of the preparation of the domestic group meeting, until the family saw off at the airport, Xiao Rongrong was filmed inside, and she was not idle on the plane, and in the end, Muyang felt that it was a little too much, so he reminded these two guys to rest for a while, and when they arrived in Mogadishu, there were things for them to shoot.
Mogadishu is the capital of Somalia, but now, it is not under the full control of government forces, which can control about 80% of the area, and a government cannot even fully control the capital, which shows the degree of chaos here.
China does not have direct flights to Somalia, which is very understandable, because now the airports in Somalia cannot take off and land large planes at all, and its chaotic state, direct flights are too unsafe, besides, in the current state of Somalia, there is really no need to open sailing, and there are basically no Chinese in the whole of Somalia.
In general, to get to Somalia, you need to go to Dubai first, and then fly from Dubai to Kenya or Djibouti, both of which are neighboring countries of Somalia and have direct flights.
Originally, there were direct flights from Dubai to Somalia, but 1 year ago, a plane was attacked by a suicide bomb, when the plane was blown out of a big hole, fortunately it was the kind of old-fashioned propeller aircraft, the speed was not fast, the pilot immediately returned, since then, the flight to Somalia was canceled, and the explosion, killed 2 people.
Muyang: The route they chose was from Dubai to Kenya, and then from Kenya to transfer, fortunately, there were people from the embassies of the two countries to help, and Muyang They had Chinese certification materials, otherwise they would not let you board the plane with a large number of weapons and ammunition.
The flight from Dubai to Kenya belongs to flydubai, the aircraft type and configuration are good, although it is a small plane, but it is quite comfortable, but the plane from Nairobi, the capital of Kenya to Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, is completely a extreme challenge.
This plane is beyond the imagination of Muyang and others, it is said to be the Il-type aircraft produced in the 60s of the 20th century, the plane is small and old, there is no air conditioning in the cabin, it looks very stuffy, it is simply an oven, and the seats are almost all broken, and many seats do not even have seat belts.
"How do I feel like I'm back in the sixties and seventies in China, I have the feeling of a big green stuffy tanker truck in China, you look at this window, it's all leaking, it won't drive into the air and fall down, it's okay." Reporter Ding Xiaoxi pointed to the plane and said.
"Shut your crow's mouth." His fellow journalist Lao Yuan scolded.
Mu Yang just smiled, but when he was looking at several of his colleagues, there was a slight nervousness on his face, and he said with a smile: "You see, there are a lot of people on this plane, which means that people make such planes all day long, and they will get used to sitting more in the future." β
"I'm still doing it all day, oh my God, forget it, I'd rather be a steamer when I go back." Ding Xiaoxi interjected.
"You're not afraid that Somali pirates will rob you." Lao Yuan damaged Ding Xiaoxi again.
"Oh my God, what kind of place is this, I knew I wasn't so active in fighting for it." Ding Xiaoxi wailed. (To be continued.) )
