Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 588

No one will give tens of billions of dollars to aid a country that has nothing. NATO will not do this. This is inevitable.They need the last fig leaf left in Ethiopia to contain Somalia in the future, but they will never invest too much money on this, because no matter how much they invest, it is a waste.

A country of only 300,000 square kilometers, but with nearly 50 million poor people, and such a country has no finance and industry. Only fools can vigorously assist such a country and a military force to enter the world-class The country contends.Moreover, the President of Somalia is not a very rational person. Maybe one day this investment will not be able to get back anything.

Ethiopia without Addis Ababa is definitely a joke. The national economy supported by this city alone will be gone once it is gone.Several months have passed, and nearly 20 million people have entered the ranks of people in need of salvation.Like the refugees in Somalia, the remaining land in Ethiopia is full of refugees. In Somalia, the refugees are all of Oromo ethnicity, while in Ethiopia, the refugees are all Amharic, because these refugees are all those People deported.

However, separated by a line, they were all the same kind of people, and now they have begun to appear extreme duality. On the side of Somalia, all the refugees did not feel hungry at all. Li Lan immediately extended a helping hand to them. And medical treatment is also in place quickly.In Ethiopia, those Amharic people who were driven out of Somalia did not receive any assistance at all and could only gather around cities.Begin to bear the coming of famine

To this end, NATO has also made some effort.Call on humanitarian organizations around the world to assist this country that has just ended the war.But this means of help.It is also limited to making a sound without any actual actions.Moreover, under the spread of the people, various Somali government's poverty alleviation policies have been implemented in Ethiopia. The large row of trucks carrying food and clean water made them envy and complaints began to spread among the crowd. And spread to a city and tribe.

And on the Somalia side.When everyone saw the scene of waiting for rescue in Ethiopia, most of them felt extremely lucky. If they did not choose Somalia at the beginning, the situation would not be much better.

The contrast between heaven and hell has a very obvious effect. Li Lan, who just returned to the base console, looked at the rising public sentiment index and rushed for nearly a month. His face was not exhausted.It's a smile.

As Ling Liang said, this is the best way to impress the hearts of civilians as much as possible, and everything is possible.

but.He did not delay his time, because there are still problems that need to be solved by him, which is currently diplomatic.He completely left it to Farah and others to do it, relying on Somalia's economic form and military strength.Diplomatic work is progressing very smoothly, and it is now in Bagua City.A lot of vacant land has been purchased by foreign countries as land for embassies, and some embassy construction has already begun.

In order to establish these diplomatic relations, Farah and others will give a gift every time they go to a country, especially in Africa and the Pacific countries, they all use their profits to open up the diplomatic path.In the Middle East and Southeast Asia, this diplomatic path is based on the interests of both parties.

If you pay, you will gain. Even NATO has recognized the existence of Somalia. Naturally, there is no reason for other countries not to recognize Somalia's great influence in the future.Maintaining friendly relations with a rapidly emerging military power is also what many countries need. Military influence has a huge effect on diplomacy.

At this moment, it was only half a month before the required time for the completion of mandatory task three, and Li Lan had to start another task.

Terminate the anti-piracy escort mission in the Gulf of Aden that has lasted for several years.

Today, there will be a key person visiting Somalia, and that is UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.There are several reasons why Ban Ki-moon visited Somalia. One of them is the issue of Somali pirates. Because the Somali government has submitted to the United Nations that all Somali pirates have been wiped out, all countries do not need to continue to spend unnecessary expenses to send navy to the Gulf of Aden.Another purpose is to discuss humanitarian issues in Africa. The United Nations hopes that Somalia can help with humanitarian relief and peacekeeping in Africa.Of course, the main purpose is to come over and give a special exhortation, so that Somalia will stop for a while, and stop making troubles and wars.

These three goals, in general, are all developing for the better, and the resolution that Somalia proposed to the United Nations to cancel the escort mission in the Gulf of Aden has also become a topic of concern in the world during this period.

In fact, the mission of escorting the Gulf of Aden has always been that the significance of impact is greater than the practical significance.

First of all, it is not easy to distinguish the identities of pirates and fishermen. They are pirates when they take up their weapons and fishermen when they lay down their weapons.Although the pirate ship is small, it is mobile, flexible, and has a wide range of activities. The escort warship cannot cover such a large sea area.Although the navies of various countries have advanced weapons, the use of aircraft, missiles, and torpedoes to fight pirates is like a cannon to fight mosquitoes. It is neither ideal nor economical.According to some norms of international law, even if the pirates are caught, the navies of various countries cannot deal with them casually. They can only be sent back to the shore, which is like setting a tiger back to the mountain. Therefore, the pirates are not afraid.The root cause of the piracy problem lies on the land. Somalia’s political situation is chaotic and economic poverty is the root cause of pirates. If this root cause is not eliminated, it will be difficult to completely eradicate piracy.

The navies of various countries go to the sea to escort, deterrence is greater than attack, form is more important than substance.Moreover, most countries do not have military ports near the Red Sea (the United States has leased military ports that can be used), and warships rely on ocean transportation for replenishment for a long time, which is costly and troublesome.

In the final analysis, the chaos in Somalia, like conflicts in other regions of the world, is the result of political manipulation by the superpower, especially the United States.The United States wants to control Somalia, it is nothing more than an extension of its oil strategy. On the one hand, it controls the transportation routes of oil transportation. On the other hand, Somalia also has a lot of oil.

But the United States has no money. It is meaningless to use a modern navy to fight pirates. In addition, the United States has begun to adjust its strategy, so the whole world can only come together.Now that the Somali government has completed the reunification of the country, the situation in Somalia has stabilized, and the pirates have been put out with heavy blows. Whether this escort should continue, in fact, does not require much thinking. The cause of the escort is the pirates. The pirates are gone, what else is necessary to escort?

Somalia proposed to cancel the international escort mission at this time. This is a very reasonable proposal in everyone's eyes. However, if this proposal is placed in a normal Somali stable government, it is indeed appropriate.But once there is an interest entanglement, it is not that simple.After withdrawing from the naval escort mission, how can the people who are interested in sending the warships here in the Gulf of Aden openly and openly monitor the Somali navy's every move?How to collect information on Somalia?

Therefore, no matter whether it is a normal and common thing, as long as it involves other people's goals and interests, even simple things will become complicated.

In this regard, the United States has jumped out. Although the United States acknowledged Somalia’s determination to combat pirates and praised Somalia’s achievements, in the end it also stated that although many Somali pirates have been arrested, many have been eliminated. Organization, but this still cannot prove that there must be no pirates in the Gulf of Aden.Therefore, at the UN General Assembly, the United States and some NATO countries expressed support for the cancellation of the Gulf of Aden escort mission, but it must be observed for at least one or two years without any pirates.

It was precisely because the United States and NATO countries were entangled in this matter, the United Nations did not immediately agree to the resolution proposed by Somalia.And this time Ban Ki-moon visited Somalia to better resolve this matter. Regardless of the result, we must first affirm Somalia's efforts in this area, and then discuss the follow-up solution.

Li Lan was also very welcome to this. After all, this matter was also related to the base's mandatory mission three. If the Gulf of Aden escort mission was not cancelled, his efforts to gather people's hearts would eventually end in a mission failure.

Moreover, this kind of thing cannot be carried out by strong means. After all, many countries participated in the escort mission in the Gulf of Aden, and it was initiated by the United Nations. No matter what causes the emergence of Somali pirates, this matter is after all a Somali issue. At the beginning, the Transitional Government of Somalia also expressed a great welcome to the escort ships. Now the new government of Somalia naturally has to maintain its own demeanor.

With Ban Ki-moon’s arrival, Li Lan specially prepared a grand welcoming ceremony and dispatched Kahin to greet him. Then Li Lan also held a grand welcoming ceremony for Ban Ki-moon in front of the base, which is the symbol of the highest authority in Somalia. He came out to greet him in person, showing his respect for the United Nations.

After a routine ceremony, Li Lan arranged him in the Bagua City State Guest Hotel, which had just opened.After a brief break, the two had a separate meeting. As for the content of the meeting, it was not disclosed to the public. After the meeting, at the next press conference, what could be made public would naturally be made public.
