Chapter 377 Cabinet Meeting of the Government of Kenya
"A different non-political axe armed group - Paraming Cooking Army."
"Fight for the territorial integrity and national dignity of Somalia! Ming Zhujun's interview documentary!"
"..."
The next day, after the front page headline of the New York Times's international page, a report by Clara, a signed reporter in Kenya, was reprinted by other major newspapers and online media. After the exchange of fire, the Paramin cooking army, which had stopped for two days without any movement, was once again famous for the report of the New York Times.
I have to say that Clara, as a reporter of the New York Times, can't say anything about the writing. Although the whole article has always been the same as the New York Times' long-standing fair attitude, there are no words that tend to be surnamed. But many people still read the implicit meaning of cheering for Paramin.
As an armed organization with a local surname. It is still a chaotic country of Somalia. Most people think of this kind of armed organization, which is to fight for power and profit, regardless of the overall situation and the life and death of the people. But under Clara's pen, an organization dedicated to serving the people and daring to fight for the dignity of the country and a country that is a giant in the competition with pebbles. After reading the report, some people even have a glimmer of understanding in their hearts. In the past, the idea of being disgusted with non-political armed groups was one-sided. At least, in Somalia, there is an organization that can serve the people. They may also have their own ambitions and ideals, but at least they have done practical things for the Somali people under their rule.
After reading this report, Kenya's political axe immediately blew up a nest. President Mwaj immediately convened a meeting of cabinet members to discuss countermeasures.
"Minister Mulengalu, didn't you swear that you could deal with this conflict quickly? Why hasn't it happened yet? Instead, let the other party shake out the inside story of the conflict, which has a great impact on the image of our national political axe. The Office of the Vice President and the Minister of State for the Interior, Lena, said strangely at the beginning of the meeting. Everyone can understand the accusations against Mulengalu in the tone.
Isn't the one here a qualified politician? The contradiction between Mulengalu and Lina has long been clear. As the ruling party, the 'National Rainbow Alliance' was originally composed of 14 parties. It was originally to unite against the 'Kenya African National Union', which has been occupying the throne of Kenya's ruling party. There are many contradictions between them. Now that we have successfully defeated the Ken League, everyone's previous close cooperation with the outside world has long ended. The contradictions between each other are gradually exposed under the conflict of interests. Lina, because she was dissatisfied with her submission to Mulungaru in the whole cabinet ranking, the two of them have been fighting in the open and secretly.
With such a good opportunity this time, Lina will certainly not let Mulengalu go. He fired at him at the beginning.
All of the people here are old foxes. Originally, everyone was willing to sit aside and watch the fun. But now things have been big, which has tarnished the image of Kenya's political axe. At this time, it is not the problem of anyone. At that time, it will be the mistake of the whole cabinet. Maybe everyone will step down because of this. Everyone has not forgotten that in Kenya, there is also a powerful 'Ken Alliance' who is staring at it.
When it comes to their own interests, many people are unwilling to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Several ministers are speaking now. In the words, they were all accusing Mulengaru of doing things improperly. It has a very bad impact on the political axe.
As a president, Mway? Zibeji never said anything, and he knew in his heart that the speakers were all from Vice President Moody's. But Mulengaru is one of his people. In the whole cabinet, only he, the president, and Mulengaru, the provincial Minister of State for Administration and National Security, are members of the Kenyan National Defense Commission. The National Defense Commission is the highest military decision-making body in Kenya. In addition to the president's part-time commander-in-chief and chairman of the committee, there are also the Chief of General Staff of the Kenyan Armed Forces, the Commander of Land, Navy and Air, and the Minister of State for Provincial Management and National Security, Mulengaru and others. As the faction of Vice President Moody's, no one has entered Kenya's highest military decision-making body, which has long made Moody's and others dissatisfied. The commanders of the navy, army and air are all powerful figures in the Kenyan military. Those people are more deeply rooted in the army than the politicians here. There is no room for them to intervene. Moody's and others have been targeting the minister of Mulengalu. Just oust Mulengaru from power. Only then can I have the opportunity to insert my own people into the National Defense Commission.
Kouing this does not mean that Mwai can protect Mulengalu regardless of the overall situation. The current crisis makes Mwai feel a little tricky. If it is not handled properly, it will even cause Mulengalu to step down.
"No matter what the outside world is, there are bad rumors in China. Especially for the cause of this armed conflict, Minister Mulengaru pointed out at a press conference that it was an exchange of fire when the non-political axe militants were arrested, while the other party said that it was caused by the shooting of cross-border refugees by our border troops. Both statements are supported at present, so what we need now is how to divert people's attention. Don't let them focus on the cause of the conflict. Otherwise, the real inside story will be exposed sooner or later. At this time, Amos, the chief prosecutor who had been helping each other in the cabinet and belonged to a neutral member, said slowly.
What he said means is that he doesn't want to attack each other internally at this time. It should be consistent with the outside world. Everyone is now a whole. If the internal contradictions break out again, there is only one way to step down.
Although these words are from the standpoint of overall interests and fairness. But it is not in Moody's interest. They finally caught Mulengalu's painful foot, and they were willing to let it go easily. But Amos's words are not unreasonable. Internal contradictions and struggles always have to make way for the overall interests. Otherwise, everyone will step down. What's the use of even if it comes to Mulengalu?
President Mwai looked at Amos with satisfaction, and he felt that this old stubborn was finally a little cute.
" Attorney General Amos is right. The main purpose of our meeting now is to discuss how to deal with the current problems. The image of the state and the political axe should not be damaged by a conflict. Minister Mulengalu, you are the person in charge of dealing with the conflict this time. Tell me how to resolve this crisis next!" Mwai was afraid that others would say something unbearable again, so he immediately opened his mouth to lead the topic to where he needed it.
Murengaru, who had been silent, looked at the president gratefully. This time, because of his "blatled lie" at the press conference, it has had a great impact on the political axe. In addition, the conflict has not been resolved yet. If you are not careful, you will be taken off the stage by Moody and others. And the president's words undoubtedly gave him another chance.
"Okay, Mr. President. We won't talk about the cause of this conflict for the time being. At the previous cabinet meeting, we meant how to resolve this conflict and give a warning to some "stubborn" forces in Somalia. Therefore, the Palamin cooking army must be attacked with our strong military strength. It can only hit their arrogance. Only then can the forces in Somalia calm down and obediently follow our ideas and come to the negotiating table. And we must have a complete plan on how to fight Paraming's army. The result of my discussion with the relevant person in charge of the Eastern Military Region is that the victory of this military strike is indisputable, but we can't leave any control to the outside world. Because in the eyes of the outside world and the people, China's political axe has always been committed to resolving the contradictions between various forces and maintaining the positive image of peace in all countries. If we "enter" other countries with powerful military forces to attack other countries' domestic armed groups because of an unexpected conflict, it is absolutely not in line with the image of East African leaders that our political axe has been trying to create. If you make a fuss, the flaws will become synonymous with China's political axe. That's very unfavorable to our country's strategic deployment..." Mulengalu deserves to be an old and crafty politician, and he soon had a lot of reasons to shirk responsibility for himself. For the sake of the national strategic deployment, the words are for the overall interests of the country. People can't find any loopholes.
Moody's side is naturally contemptuous and helpless to Mulengalu. And President Mvay's side must have looked at Mulengalu with appreciation and satisfaction. Some lower-ranked cabinet members can't help sighing with admiration. No wonder they can sit in the position of provincial management and national security minister. With this eloquence and reaction ability alone, people are willing to bow down.
"The Paraming cooking army must be a military strike, but we must stand at the moral high point. To make it clear to the outside world, we have to use military action to fight against Paraming's army. We are not for self-interest, but for the overall situation of peace in East Africa and for the peace and future of the Somali country!" Finally, Mulengalu sat up straight and said with a straight face.
"Papa..." President Mwai took the lead in clapping with satisfaction. Others had to applaud whether they wanted to or not.
Mulengalu immediately stood up modestly and thanked the cabinet members. It looks perfect.
"Minister Mulengalu said very well. Why can our country convince other countries and organizations in Africa? Isn't it because my national political axe has always been for the interests of the whole of Africa? Hegemonism is not allowed. So this time, I think Minister Mulengalu is in charge of how to deal with all the problems caused by the armed conflict. Minister of Caronzo (Ministry of Foreign Affairs), when the meeting is over, you have to convene reporters at home and abroad to hold a press conference to pass on China's political axe in line with the principle of peaceful resolution of the '7.12' conflict. I hope that Paraming can recognize the facts, and the method of stubborn resistance and spreading false rumors is untenable. Sooner or later, it will be spurned by peace lovers from all over the world. Let them hand over the murderer of the '7.12' crossfire early and send representatives to join the Somali peace conference..."
President Mvay solemnly told the Foreign Minister before the end of the meeting.
