Chapter 746: Somalia Reinstatement 5
Long ago, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs had already sent a note to the Somali government, and the Somali government replied that it was responsible for the reception, which is why there was such a scene at the airport.
Everyone put on their equipment and luggage, and walked to the car that came to pick up people, there were a total of twelve people who came, driving a wheeled armored car, a small personnel carrier, and a minibus, it seems that this minibus is for Muyang and them.
Everyone was armed with automatic rifles, heavy machine guns on armored vehicles, everyone had this desert eagle in their waists, some had bullet chains on their shoulders, and some carried rockets.
Ding Xiaoxi and Lao Yuan's cameras were already starting to work, but when they saw this scene, they were also shocked, this is to pick up people, this is to prepare for war, but Muyang can understand, because this is the norm in Mogadishu, ready to deal with attacks from all directions.
The car started and drove out of the airport quickly, the whole convoy was moving very fast, as if it was afraid that it would be attacked by others if it slowed down, Muyang looked at the street, the buildings on both sides of the road, almost no building was complete, the ruins were covered with bullet marks, and the civil war for many years had made this place scarred and devastated.
Dilapidated cars, tricycles, and horse-drawn carriages passed by, chaotic, and the streets were filthy and littered with rubble, and the pedestrians on the streets, many of them men with automatic rifles, rarely saw any trace of women, and even if there were, they were particularly old women, tightly wrapped.
Mogadishu is a seaside city, and everything was very good here, but after a coup d'Γ©tat and riots. Everything has changed, and the beautiful city has become the most terrifying city in the world.
The car stopped in front of a three-story guesthouse. Everyone got out of the car, but Dean jumped out of the armored car and led everyone into the hotel, and the boss saw that there were guests coming, and asked happily: "Welcome, we have a luxury suite here for $50 per night." Ordinary room, $30 per night. β
Muyang sighed in his heart, here. Everything is on your own, if you want to enjoy state hospitality, forget it, it's good that someone can drive to the airport to pick you up. As for letting the family entertain food and lodging. Still don't think about it.
"Okay, let's stay here first."
Jiang Jia'an and they will get the specific matter, Mu Yang said to Ke Dien: "Second Lieutenant Ke Dien, we want to visit Minister Belle as soon as possible, and I hope you can arrange time." β
"I'm not in charge of this, I'm only responsible for getting you from the airport to a safe place to stay, and for the rest, I think you need to communicate with government officials." Ensign Dean said with a shrug.
"How do we get in touch with government officials?" Muyang asked.
"I don't know. Maybe they'll come to you. Second Lieutenant Cordion said.
"Can you help us with the necessary help, we need a few cars. Preferably armored vehicles or something. Mu Yang retreated to the next best.
"I'm sorry, no, you'll have to figure it out for yourself." But Dean shrugged again.
Mu Yang was so angry that he really wanted to scold this guy, you don't know anything, nothing, what the hell are you doing here, is this Somali government official really unreliable, no wonder he was chased and beaten by the warlords, and now he can only retreat in Mogadishu, and it is half of Mogadishu, it is really a waste to go home, such a level, it has not been destroyed yet, it is a miracle.
"Okay, it was a pleasure chatting with you." Muyang said with a smile.
"I think so too, you're not like those guys from Western countries, who want everything and lose their temper if they don't, I'm glad you didn't scold me." But Dean said.
"Did you host a lot of people?" Muyang asked.
"It's not a lot, there are British, Italians, but they are very picky and want the government to prepare everything, but what Somalia needs most now is other people's aid, not to prepare things for them." But Dean said.
"And then?"
"Then those bastards said it was uninhabitable for humans, and then they went around Mogadishu, wrote some so-called reports, and then left, leaving nothing for Somalia and not helping Somalia in any way." But Dean said.
"Second Lieutenant Dean, I feel that you are very knowledgeable by chatting with you." Muyang Road.
"I studied in the U.S. for three years."
But Second Lieutenant Dean left, and Zheng Yunliang, the deputy team leader, walked up to Muyang and asked in a low voice: "Mu, the room is ready, but what should we do next, now it seems that it is impossible to count on the help of the Somali government." β
Muyang patted Zheng Yunliang on the shoulder and said, "Let's settle down first, it doesn't matter, there will be a way, there is no hurdle that cannot be passed." β
Everyone walked upstairs to the room with a salute, opened the room and saw that the room for 30 US dollars a night was just about the same as the so-called two-star hotel in China, two wooden beds, a 24-inch old-fashioned picture tube TV, the brand was still Changhong, and even the furniture and beds in the room were mostly domestic, and they were the style of the 90s, and they were some years old at a glance.
But that's the kind of place, and it's a good place in Somalia.
The journey was tiring, Li Shanwen was about to take a shower, but found that there was no hot water at all, and the water in the tap pipe was also salty, so he couldn't drink it at all.
"Smack, smack, slap......"
"Smack, smack, slap......"
"Boom."
Suddenly, there was a burst of automatic rifles and explosions outside the window, and everyone quickly climbed up to the window to look out.
However, only a puff of black smoke could be seen in the distance.
Then the gunfire quickly fell, and there was no movement, and then I looked at the people on the street, who were still very panicked and hid in the buildings on the side of the road, and as soon as the gunfire stopped, people went out into the street again, and what to do.
Ding Xiaoxi, who was carrying the camera, felt incredible about what was happening in front of him, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "My mother, can you live well here, it's like this all day long, how to work and study to earn money to support your family and live a normal life." β
"Somalia is one of the least developed countries in the world, food production is only 57% of consumption, the rest can only rely on aid, the unemployment rate in Somalia is as high as 85%, people's lives are unsustainable, the whole society is in extreme turmoil, all schools have been closed, there are no hospitals to seek medical treatment, as for the normal life you mentioned, now this state is their normal state, this is the result of the war." Mu Yang looked outside and said in a low tone. (To be continued.) )
