Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 858: A Speech for 210 Million People (Part 1)

The world is like a huge stage, and I will be on stage after you sing.=====

The integration of East Africa has been officially announced in just ten days, and the eight nations’ governments have signed a series of large and small agreements with unprecedented efficiency.

When the people of the eight countries were still talking about it, they gradually realized that they had become a member of a huge military and economic body.

Throughout Africa, anyone who knows Somalia admires the rapid economic growth of Somalis in recent years and the prosperous life of the people. Since the founding of the country, they have never been threatened by hunger. The country's political situation is stable and it is known as the heaven of Africa.Become the envy of countless Africans.

The most anticipated thing is the economic growth of Somalia. It has only been more than four years since I have seen it. It has become the world’s least developed country in one fell swoop, and the annual GDP has become the world’s top two in one fell swoop. fifteen.To become the largest economy in Africa, far surpassing any country in Africa.In addition, Somalia is not afraid of NATO's strong military, and Somalia's status in Africa is already an existence that other countries look up to.

In the East African Community this time, everything is dominated by Somalia, which is quite normal in the eyes of the world.The first is industry. No one in the whole world dares to doubt Somalia's industry. The military equipment of a country is the best proof of the entire country's industry. Somalia has proved to the world that it has a strong and complete industry more than once.

The second is the military, which does not require any textual research. Somalia’s military ranking in the new year’s World Military Weekly has been ranked fourth in the world.If it weren't for the fact that the number of troops is not enough to surpass the three superpowers, this ranking could even move forward.

Finally, the economy.After years of layout and rapid development after unification.The annual GDP of Somalia has reached 14 trillion U.S. dollars. Although the figure here is more of an increase in military procurement, it is sufficient to illustrate the rapid economic growth of Somalia.Although this figure is one-twelfth of the total GDP of the United States, in Africa, it is almost the total of the entire African GDP.

The total GDP of the other seven countries of the East African Community is not a little more than 100 billion. Compared with the prime minister of Somalia, which is more than one trillion, it is far behind.

Combining the three major elements, Somalia occupies a dominant position in the community, which is also a certainty.After all, Somalia, which has rapid development every year, is willing to put aside its rapid economic growth and integrate with the other seven countries in an all-round way. The seven countries have taken a huge advantage.

Moreover, the well-developed industry in Somalia is also a huge benefit to the seven countries.Military, with Somalia behind, the seven countries are more at ease, even making them instantly crowned with the title of power.

and so.The attractiveness of the East African Community to the seven countries is definitely not controlled by other interests.

The one-week long talks between the heads of state and the Seven Congresses officially came to an end. On the eighth day, every reporter in Bagua City received an invitation letter issued in the name of the East African Community.

Eight o'clock in the morning.Reporters from Bagua City and all over the world, AU presidents, representatives of the United Nations, and representatives of dozens of countries around the world came to the top meeting room of the Somalia Government Building.Under the witness of everyone, the last general agreement of the East African Community officially signed the names of the leaders of eight countries.

At the same time.In front of the square in front of the government affairs building, on the platform in the middle of the circular fountain.A cylinder with a height of eight meters and a diameter of more than three meters.Engraved with the contents of the General Agreement of the East African Community, the flags and national emblems of the eight countries are on the top.What is curious is that there are obviously large blank spots on this column.The 64-story government building has also become a landmark of the East African Community. Between the fountain and the gate, eight flagpoles have been flying the flags of the eight countries. On both sides of the eight flagpoles, there are still many flagpoles without flags.

The blank space on the column and the reserved flagpole position clearly indicate that the East African Community will join new members in the future, and these positions are reserved for future new members.

On the top floor of the Government Affairs Building, the meeting did not adjourn after the celebration of the formal establishment of the East African Community.There are too many questions from the outside world, so I specially leave time to answer these questions.

The leaders of the eight countries sat together in a semicircle. In front of them were hundreds of reporters. On the side were representatives of various countries sitting quietly.

At the beginning, there were a lot of questions, all about some questions between the eight countries, and the eight people answered them one by one to answer their doubts to the world.Naturally, some high-sounding words are indispensable, all for the political image.

Because the entire event was broadcast live among the eight countries. Even in South Sudan, where the media is very backward, Somali TV has also set up many temporary news stations to let more people understand the existence of the East African Community, and even for more people To understand the existence of the community, many staff members also went deep into many primitive tribes, set up temporary broadcast and broadcast points, and translated them for them.

The entire question and answer session for reporters proceeded very quickly. Although some questions were still tricky, it could not hold eight people.

The reporter's question and answer ended soon. Although there were still many reporters who were not named, they were not given a chance when the time came.And then Li Lan will give a TV speech covering the entire East African Community.

Everyone moved to the Presidential Palace in Bagua City and stood in front of the base's backyard. When the live broadcast time came, Li Lan also appeared in front of the TV appropriately.

"Today is a great day for Somalia, and it is also a great day for the entire East African Community, because from today, 210 million Africans will officially embark on the path of forming a common country. For today, we After preparing for a long time, the planted seeds slowly germinated and grew to today’s flowering moment. Please let the entire African people witness with us and the results will come. I believe that today, one year later, will be the grandest moment in Africa. We finally took the most powerful step towards hope.

There has always been a voice echoing in my mind, whether to build Somalia well or to bring the whole of Africa to progress together.It is not easy for Somalia to go from scratch to today. Somalia today has already stepped out of the most difficult time. From the initial GDP per capita of only 500, we have now reached 28,000 per capita.This is an epoch-making progress and an unprecedented development efficiency.

However, I am not satisfied with the current results in my heart, because by our side, in the vast African land, there are more than one billion Africans living in hunger, poverty, and war.Whenever I think of this, my heart is not happy.

I really want to help them, but my ability is limited, and there are too many misunderstandings about me internationally, and various suppressions on Somalia have always made me feel powerless.Despite this, I never gave up the idea of ​​saving more Africans.

Before deciding to form an East African Community, many people asked me why I did this. It is not easy to develop a Somalia. Now it is necessary to develop a group with an area of ​​4 million square kilometers and a population of 210 million. Will it bring down Somalia's current economy?Will it cause more misunderstandings to the international community?Will it even lead to a drop in your approval rate?

My answer is that there are certain things that someone has to do. The problem of Africa is no longer a personal problem. From the perspective of all mankind, I cannot let myself sit idly by.Naturally, there were many difficulties at the beginning, even more difficult than the beginning of the development of Somalia, but I did not hesitate even a bit.I haven't considered personal knowledge. There is only one voice in my heart, insisting on my ideals.

Obviously, my ideals are right. They are supported and affirmed by the leaders of the seven East African countries. They are willing to work with me to create an Africa that is no longer hungry, poverty, and war.Today is the first step for us to realize our ideals. We will always implement and persevere, and let more people inherit our will, even if it takes decades or hundreds of years to change this status quo."

Speaking of this, Li Lan paused slightly. He had not prepared the speech draft, so he needed a moment to sort out his thoughts.At this time, he didn't know how many people burst into tears because of his words.

"I am not a very good speaker, but I believe that as long as I speak my mind boldly, it is the best, because I have a clear conscience. Today, standing in front of everyone, maybe everyone wants to know, What will the community do next?

You may think that we will work hard to promote the federal state process, and everything will be based on this.Now I can tell everyone that that is wrong.The federal state is the result of the inevitable trend. I will not add more flowers. In my opinion, there are only three things to do next."

Having said that, Li Lan put up three fingers, then slowly bent one of them, and continued: "The first thing is the food and clothing problem. Starting today, the people of the eight countries are a family, with a population of 210 million. Half of the people are still suffering from food shortages. From now on, what I have to do is to let hundreds of millions of under-food citizens completely say goodbye to hunger.

Since seven days ago, I have prepared enough food, and now a large amount of food has arrived in every city, and there will be enough food to be distributed to everyone in the coming rainy and dry seasons.Most importantly, we will give them the best seeds and teach you to plant them.

Remember my words, true wealth is created by one's own hands, not by charity.At the same time, I also advise officials everywhere to do a good job in the distribution of grain. Even if one grain is missing, I will pursue it to the end and never doubt my determination."

ps: After the early morning, there is still a chapter.
