Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 88 Accepting Refugees

In just one month, a stretch of tent groups were built on the periphery of the base.

These tents specially used to settle refugees were not funded by Li Lan, but Farah sent them together after sending food.

The tent group is obviously divided into two parts. The two parts are in the middle. Dozens of doctors in white coats and nurses served by mobilized soldiers are constantly busy on the long table.

Refugees come from all directions and come from all directions, with the purpose of heading for the coastal city of Bosasso.

In previous years, when there was a famine, there would be a large number of refugees rushing to Bossaso. It was only five consecutive years of drought that caused the number of refugees to increase dramatically this year.

The way forward is bound to be a lot of corpses. I don’t know how many bones are left in the desert every year.

This year, the refugees who came to Bosasso received assistance immediately for an unprecedented time.In the past, it was not that there were no relief organizations to help refugees, but it was not a short time to wait for the arrival of relief supplies.

The refugees did not know who these soldiers shouted to them along the way, but under the lure of food, no one wanted to trek to Bosasso, even the group of refugees who were already approaching Bosasso turned around. Under the guidance of the propaganda vehicle, head to the base.

There are also many temporary armed rescue stations along the road to replenish their physical strength for those refugees who can't support it.

When they arrive at their destination, according to ethnic groups or villages, each family can get a temporary tent, and they can receive clean drinking water every day and enough food to eat.

This is something that refugees never dared to imagine in the past. Some people say that these are heaven, while others say it is a gift from Allah.

Just as the refugees were singing praises, there was a new news.

After recruiting residents here, every family can get a job with a monthly salary of not less than ten dollars after becoming a resident here. It is amazing news.

In this country where refugees can be avoided as much as possible, some people actually recruit refugees as residents, rather than refugees who rely on them. Such unprecedented news makes many refugees unimaginable.

Especially for work, a monthly salary of ten dollars is not a developed country. The employment rate here is not even one percent in Somalia. Ten dollars is not a lot at all, which is equivalent to 70,000 Somali shillings. A little hardworking and thrifty is enough for a family of five Months.

Those who serve as soldiers under various forces and governments only cost ten dollars a month.Serving as a soldier in Somalia is not about training and preparing for war all day, but about preparing to work hard at all times.For the ten dollars a month, basically they are making money.

And for these ten dollars, people who want to be soldiers are gone.Therefore, for these refugees, this news is no less than the gospel that came down from heaven.

However, if you want to become a resident here, there are not all requirements.

First of all, it must be in good health and cannot carry any diseases.Everyone who wants to be a resident here must go through several medical tests and complete body disinfection.In this way, you can bid farewell to the temporary tent, get new clothes, and live in the fixed residence inside the wall.

In fact, this is not the base’s first medical check-up on these refugees. As early as when they were living in these temporary tents, they went through a medical check-up.

Poor physical fitness made Li Lan put in great energy and a lot of base funds for this.

Especially those children, none of them are healthy enough, not to mention thin and weak, and few of them have reached a healthy level.Therefore, the entire camp was divided into two parts, one side was used as a temporary ward, and the other side was where the refugees lived.

The ten doctors in the field hospital had no personal time ever since they began accepting refugees.Farah also used his energy in Bosasso for this, and sent more than a dozen qualified doctors to the base.

These doctors are all Somali. They have all returned from studying abroad, and most of them have returned from studying medicine in China.At the call of Farah, he came to Li Lan's territory and joined the medical team.And what Li Lan paid was medicine.

Compared with the lack of doctors, medicines are still scarce in Somalia than doctors. Even a small bottle of anti-inflammatory drugs is more than a hundred times more expensive than the outside world.And in many cases, medicines are monopolized by warlords and governments, and civilians cannot buy them even if they have money.

If it weren't because the base can produce some basic medicines, I'm afraid Li Lan will still have a headache for this, because even Farah can't get medicines that can satisfy the use.However, the base is not a panacea, it can only produce some simple medicines, such as anti-inflammatory drugs, glucose, cold medicine, antitoxins... and other very common things.For other things, let alone vaccines, even some specific medicines for diseases are not available.The drug production list of the base is more for war.

These refugees are coming from all directions, mixed with fish and dragons, and Li Lan wants to turn them into residents of his own territory, he must go through strict screening.Medical testing is to prevent people with symptoms such as AIDS from entering the territory.

This is very important. In Africa, it is very simple to find a person with AIDS, because Africa is the hardest hit area of ​​AIDS, accounting for nearly 10% of the world’s population, but the number of people living with AIDS and HIV More than 70% of the world.At present, AIDS has become the "first killer" in Africa, and the number of people who die from AIDS each year is 10 times that of wars and natural disasters.

Facts have proved that the rapid spread of AIDS is closely related to poverty.The poorer the country, the more people suffering from AIDS, the more concentrated.In poor countries, due to the poor living environment, low level of education, limited funding, lack of medicines and medicines, backward prevention and treatment methods, and inability to buy medicines, the spread of AIDS is particularly alarming.

Then again, there are not many AIDS patients in Somalia, and it can be called a very polite country.Its infection rate is a full three percentage points lower than that of Somalia’s neighbor Ethiopia’s 3.8%.It can be said that it is one of the countries with the fewest AIDS patients among all African countries, which is the same as the 0.8% of Spain, which is a western developed country.This is also the first benefit brought about by the strict control of the relationship between men and women by Somalis.

However, Li Lan did not dare to care about it. AIDS is one thing, but in the case of general unhealthy conditions, without AIDS, other infectious diseases, such as yellow fever, malaria and other high-risk infectious diseases that are customary in Africa, must be controlled.

Secondly, people who pass the physical examination are not 100% able to become residents of this place as they wish. They also need to go through a secret test, but this is done silently.It was not announced to these refugees.

In addition to the physical condition check, there is also whether it will be detrimental to the base. In order to prevent those unsuspecting people from entering the territory, spying on news or sabotage, Li Lan ordered a private inspection.

A few tables are placed on the periphery of the territory. All refugees who have passed medical examinations will be brought here when they wear new clothes. Soldiers will ask a few simple questions, and then take pictures to determine their identity and Enter their identity into the computer to establish an identity certificate.

The seemingly simple one is actually within the guard range of the army dog ​​on the side.

With the extremely special insight skills of military dogs, those with spying and sabotage purposes cannot escape the perception of military dogs.However, these army dogs did not rush over like in the game, but barked their teeth to warn.

And those refugees whose teeth are barked will be recorded. Currently, Li Lan does not want to move them, but monitors some people.On the map of the base, these people will be marked as red dots, and Li Lan can clearly know their every move.

However, there are not many of these people. From the beginning of accepting refugees as residents, half a month has passed. The territory has issued tens of thousands of hukou books for them, and has accommodated 50,000 to 60,000 people. There are only a dozen of them.

At present, these people live on the west side of the original outer wall of the base. Together with the villagers brought by Muhammad, they are divided into a small town. The area they live in is also temporarily divided into the first residential area, which is far from the base vehicle. It is nearly fifteen kilometers.

This place is under the idea of ​​the wall and the gossip city of Li Lan, and it is also under construction. The first paid job to welcome these refugees is to build their homes.

However, these refugees who have joined the territory are only a small number, and there are more than 100,000 refugees in the refugee settlement.However, many refugees still sign up every day.
