Chapter 745: Somalia Reinstatement 4
Listening to Ding Xiaoxi's complaints, Mu Yang smiled on his face, but said to himself in his heart, "Where is this, when you get to Mogadishu, you will really see what a broken place is, it is a paradise for demons and a hell for angels." β
In the past few days, Muyang has read a lot of information about Somalia, and has learned about Somalia from various aspects such as politics, economy, culture, region, religion, armed conflict, production, life, agriculture and animal husbandry.
The Republic of Somalia covers an area of 637,660 square kilometers and has a population of 9.1 million, located on the Somali Peninsula in the easternmost part of the African continent, bordering the Gulf of Aden in the north, the Indian Ocean in the east, Kenya and Ethiopia in the west, and Djibouti in the northwest. The coastline is 3200 km long. Most of the area has a tropical desert climate, and the southwest has a savannah climate, with high temperatures all year round, dry and little rain.
The vast majority are Somalis, divided into two major ethnic groups, Samalee and Sabu. The Samarai ethnic group accounts for more than 80% of the country's population and is divided into four major tribes: Daroud, Hawiyeh, Isaac and Dir. The Sabu clan is divided into two major tribes, the Digil and the Lahan. The official languages are Somali and Arabic, common English and Italian. Religion is the state religion, and ****** accounts for 95% of the total population. Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, has a population of 1.6 million.
Somalia is one of the least developed countries in the world. The economy is dominated by animal husbandry, and the industrial base is weak. The only railway in the country was built with the help of China in the 70s. Before the outbreak of the Somali civil war, China assisted the construction of the Benadir Hospital, the country's largest hospital for women and children, the Mogadishu stadium, the national theater, universities, factories and other facilities in Mogadishu. However, these facilities are now in urgent need of repair and reconstruction.
However, this is nonsense, because now Somalia is only chaos and ruins, and war is now the theme here.
Somali National Movement, Somali National Redemption Front, Somali National Union, Union of ****** Courts, ****** Al-Shabaab
There are no less than a dozen large and small warlords in Somalia, plus gangsters and private armed forces. Pirate gangs, but also the Kenyan army and the Ethiopian army that crossed the border, well. You can see how messy Somalia is from here.
In Mogadishu, there are three forces, the Government Army and the ****** Court Alliance. Al-Shabaab. Although the three families are now in a state of temporary truce, Mogadishu is not peaceful, shootouts often break out, and civilians on the streets do not know whether they will be able to return home safely in the evening.
The massacres of innocent Somali civilians by the Ugandan and Burundian armies on peacekeeping missions in Mogadishu, which are actually "mercenaries" hired by the Americans at their expense from Museveni, have been particularly vigorous in massacring innocent Somali civilians, and the Ugandan army has even ridiculed the Burundian army for killing too few civilians. However, there is a tacit understanding with the militants of the ****** al-Shabaab. Carrying out the task is just pretending.
The plane finally took off, and it was normal at first. After driving for a while, he quickly dived into the sky, but when he flew four or five thousand meters, he began to dive down, and the passengers on the plane clung to their seats to prevent themselves from being thrown out.
Ding Xiaoxi shouted loudly, "What's the matter, is it going to crash, Mom." β
There was a local who knew English next to him, holding the chair with both hands, and said calmly to Ding Xiaoxi next to him in English: "Don't scream, my ears are going to be deaf." β
Ding Xiaoxi looked at each other in surprise, and also said in English: "Aren't you afraid, what's going on." β
"To save fuel."
"Fuel-efficient?" Ding Xiaoxi was stunned, and all the people in the Chinese diplomatic team expressed puzzlement, and even Muyang was puzzled.
I listened to the man explain: "The pilot dives up, and then releases the throttle and lets the plane fall naturally, which saves fuel." β
"My mom, this is a roller coaster, moving forward in waves, and the pilot is not afraid to go straight down." Ding Xiaoxi asked.
"Is it the first time you've made such a plane, in fact, it's good to get used to it, don't you think it's quite interesting, but you have to catch it, don't be thrown out, or you'll get hurt."
"Oh my God, why did I come to this place of the hell." Ding Xiaoxi wailed in Chinese.
"Now I know that I regret it, when I first applied, I saw how positive you were, and what you said about the most exciting interview, this is just the beginning, and it has become like this before you have arrived in Mogadishu." Reporter Lao Yuan sarcastically mocked Ding Xiaoxi next to him.
"Brother Yuan, I regret dying now, can I go back to China directly, I won't go to Somalia, it's exciting enough now." Ding Xiaoxi said with a sad face.
"You still want to go down on the thief ship, you ask the pilot of the plane if he will return to you now, if he can return, Lao Tzu will not go." Lao Yuan finally spoke his heart.
Hehehehe, Mu Yang smiled unconsciously, but this trip made Mu Yang sound the flight trip of the apocalyptic world, this time it was just a roller coaster, and that time there was a mutant beast attack, that is called a death journey.
After people enjoyed more than two hours of roller coaster flight, the plane finally arrived over Mogadishu, people's hearts relaxed a little, Ding Xiaoxi looked down, and then said to Lao Yuan next to him: "Why is there no control tower at this airport, and I don't see the indicator lights, night lights or anything, and there are no ground staff." β
Lao Yuan clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and said softly: "Now is the most critical moment, pray with me, Xiao Ding." β
The plane finally landed on the runway, the pilot's skills were not bad, everyone survived, and as soon as the plane came to a stop, the people in the cabin burst into cheers, and a few locals also sang songs, as if to celebrate, celebrating the successful survival.
And everyone in the resumption team was only happy in their hearts, Ding Xiaoxi's hand holding the chair was a little pale, and his face was very ugly, Muyang stood up and patted him on the shoulder and cared: "Xiaoding, it's okay." β
Ding Xiaoxi grinned, and then said, "ChargΓ© d'affaires Mu, I'm slowly fine, I'm scared, and I'm soft." β
Mu Yang and the others got out of the car and began to organize their equipment, when a Somali soldier in military uniform came over and asked in English to everyone: "Is it Chinese, I am Kedien of the Somali government army." β
Mu Yang hurriedly stood up and said to Ke Dien: "I am their tie, it's good to meet you Ke Dien, how to arrange it next." β
"Listen to you, but you'd better find a place to live, and the rest will be arranged slowly." But Dean said.
It is clear that the person sent by the Somali government to be in charge of the reception was not enthusiastic. (To be continued.) )
