Chapter 435 The Union of the Four Powers
On October 5, 2005, Somalia, an East African country, once again attracted the attention of the world.
This morning, major media in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, published an article with similar content; the content reported that under the 'convocation' of Somalia's transitional political axe, representatives of various parties in Somalia went to the capital to participate in the first "multi-party meeting". In the article, it is mentioned that this 'multi-party meeting' did not involve any foreign forces, and it was a 'Somali peace conference' independently held under the leadership of Somalia's transitional political axe.
As soon as these articles were reported, they immediately caused an uproar in major cities in Somalia. People who expected peace in Somalia had taken to the streets to support the practice of transitional political axe. Soon, the news was reprinted by the world's largest media in Somalia, and appeared on many well-known portals in just one hour.
Somalia, a small country in East Africa, is far from the "famous world" for later generations because of pirates. It can be said that the reason why Somalia is currently attracting public attention is entirely due to the 'side effects' caused by the Sokken border conflict.
Two months after the Soaken border conflict subsided, the calm situation in Somalia once again stirs up the storm. This time, it is more eye-catching than the previous border conflict. Can the 'Somali peace conference', which has not completed its purpose under the multi-national forces or even several times by the United Nations, make the forces of all parties in Somalia obedient without the promotion and participation of foreign forces and relying on the nominal Somali transitional political axe? Many media reporters are looking forward to gathering outside the central government axe building in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia. Waiting for the results of this meeting.
Like these media reporters gathered in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, there are naturally intelligence personnel from other countries. Unlike the purpose of media reporters, these national forces think of the changes brought about by the success or failure of this meeting. Will it once again cause the domestic situation in Somalia to get out of control and trigger a new round of military competition or even armed conflict?
In this meeting convened by President Yusuf, except for Somaliland, which has always been away, all other Somali forces in Somalia have sent representatives one after another, and some organizations even No. 1 and No. 2 went to Mogadishu to attend the meeting in person.
The delegation of the Palamin cooking army to Mogadishu to attend the meeting was personally led by Colonel Hussein, Chief of Staff. According to the previous agreement, each organization is allowed to bring up to 50 armed members into the capital.
In the solemn Somali parliament hall, representatives of two quasi-superpowers in Somalia, 11 first-class forces, and 69 second-rate forces took their seats according to the gap in strength.
There are only five people sitting on the rostrum. One of the five is naturally the well-known President of Somalia, Yusuf. In the seat next to his seat on the left of President Yusuf, there is the current 'president' Mohammed of Bontelland? Musee? Hash; he is the successor to the current President of Somalia, Yusuf. Yu Sufu once served as the 'president' of the Puntland political axe, but later, because of internal contradictions and being elected as the leader of the Somali Transitional Political Axe National Assembly, Yu Sufu resigned as president and took away many armed forces in PUNTLAND to form a new Somali Salvation Front. This is also the reason why Puntland, a de facto reading country, can't compare with Somaliland. Because it itself is a coalition of Yusuf's integration of multiple forces. But because of this, its internal contradictions were very sudden, and eventually there were armed conflicts and other events, so that Yusuf immediately took away his direct descendants to form a new party force after becoming the leader of Somalia's national parliament.
Yusuf can be said to be the 'creator' of Puntelland and the person who made Puntelland 'weak'.
No matter what the contradictions between Yousuf and Puntelland are, what we see now is that before the meeting begins, President Yousuf turned his head and whispered to Hash's 'President' from time to time. On the surface, he looked happy.
Sitting on the left side of the Hash 'president', that is, on the far left side of the rostrum, is the No. 2 figure of the first-class Somali La Hanwen Resistance Army, DeRo, the former Secretary-General of the Resistance Army and the current Vice Chairman of the Resistance Army. De Luo looks more like a businessman than a leader of a partisan force. Although the Hash 'president' next to him has been talking to President Yusuf and has not talked to him, he still doesn't care about it and greets the representatives of the forces below.
On the rostrum, what really surprised most of the representatives of the forces was the Arabs sitting on the right side of President Yusuf. Arabs are not uncommon in the whole parliament hall, but most of them are still black. Even the forces of all parties in Somalia, there are few Arab leaders. Of course, it's not that there isn't. As we all know, Adam, the leader of the Somali Patriotic Movement, is an Arab-Somali.
Seeing the Arabs in their thirties sitting in this important position, many representatives of the forces guessed in their hearts who they were. But as several exclamations came from the conference hall. Only then did everyone understand the identity of the 'stranger' who could sit on the rostrum: the chief of staff of the Somali Paramin Cooking Army, in fact, Colonel Hussein, the No. 1 figure of the Paramin Cooking Army.
Looking at Somalia in 2010, the most 'famous' is the Paramin cooking army. An armed conflict on the border with Kenya not only made the low-key Palamin army famous, but also made the forces of all parties in Somalia aware of the rise of a new first-class force.
After knowing that the person sitting there was Colonel Hussein, the Chief of Staff of the Paraming Cooking Army, some people who were originally dissatisfied immediately closed their mouths. The power leaders who can compete with the Kenyan political axe army and win the advantage are fully qualified to sit there.
Hussein, who is sitting on the rostrum, has long been the son of a fisherman who had nothing. As the leader of an organization with 6,000 armed members, he has long been used to being noticed by everyone. So he turned a blind eye to all kinds of glances around the conference hall. From time to time, he bowed his head and chatted with Kenyare, the political axe warlord of Mogadishu next to him.
President Yusuf, who was sitting in the middle of the rostrum, coughed into the microphone after being prompted by a working member, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"..." First of all, Yusuf said a lot of praise to celebrate the opening of the meeting. He also stressed many times that the conference room was the first formal meeting to solve the internal contradictions in Somalia, which was completely organized by the Somali people.
After Yusuf's speech, the representatives of the other four major forces on the rostrum also expressed their views one after another, and the representatives of the forces under the stage gradually found something unusual.
In the speeches of the representatives of the four major forces, including the Paraming Cooking Army, they clearly captured an unusual trace. The three warlords of the Palamin Cooking Army, the Bontland Political Axe and the Political Axe Army all welcomed the meeting, not the kind of participation with the so-called attitude. Some representatives of forces even speculated whether these three forces, together with the political axe, had cooperated on this matter before?
If this guess is true, it is not a good thing for other forces here. Transitional political axe, Bontland, political axe warlords, and Palamin cooks the army in all directions, but there are two quasi-superpowers and two first-class forces. If these four forces unite. Other weak forces certainly can't stand the pressure and are forced to 'fulfill' the obligations of a Somali citizen. Then, driven by foreign forces, the core dispute of the 'Somalia peace meeting', which is still unresolved, will even be forced to be 'compromise'.
What is the core dispute of the Somali peace conference? It is to disband all local forces in Somalia and form a new national defense force. This is the key point of all local forces. In this chaotic country, there is no one in hand. What else can we do? If you don't have someone who will work for you, you will lose the capital to dominate. So how do these people who are used to being local emperors accept it?
Before coming, all forces were optimistic about this matter. Because the military strength of Somalia's transitional political axe cannot create an overwhelming advantage over other first-class forces. They believe that as long as everyone is united, this meeting will still be a fruitless 'dispute'. But at the beginning of the meeting, there were some bad signs. Signs of the unity of the four major forces. If the four major forces unite, their military strength will be strong enough to pose a deadly threat to Somaliland. Not to mention the other local forces of hundreds of thousands of people. It is impossible to resist the military pressure of the four major forces."... When the rest of the world are developing at a high speed, Somalia not only does not keep up with the general trend, but is more and more trapped in the internal consumption of war. Somalia has even become a synonym for chaos... Our compatriots do not have enough to eat and have no dignity in the face of foreigners. This is not only the shame of the country, but also me. The shame of every Somali... If we want to establish a positive image of the country and solve the problem of food and clothing of our compatriots, we must have a unified and strong political axe institution. There is a united and strong national defense army. Instead of bringing the whole country into the flames of war for his own self-interest..." Yusuf's spitting speech, even Hussein beside him consciously shrank his neck for fear that those saliva would splash on his body.
In fact, in Hussein's heart, his perception of President Yusuf has changed a lot. I think this person doesn't seem to be so 'annoying'. At least these words are beautiful, and they are still very good at inciting the atmosphere.
When no one noticed, DeRo, the vice chairman of the La Hanwen Resistance Army, who was sitting on the far left, frowned slightly. He has also found bad signs now. After a short period of noise, some representatives of the forces under the stage listened to Yusuf's speech with a solemn look. Some representatives of the forces even remember something with a notebook. Judging from this discovery, Yusuf's words undoubtedly moved many representatives of the forces. Although the representatives of these "awakening" forces, the reason for the real "awakening" is not because of how inseditious Yusuf's words are, but because of the military oppression brought about by the combination of the four major forces.
I thought that many forces would make compromises at this meeting. Vice Chairman DeRoe couldn't help but feel anxious. He even complained about Gabyu, the chairman of the Resistance Army far away in Baidoa. Previously, Yusuf's special envoy also hoped that the La Hanwen Resistance Army would unite with the Transitional Political Axe to resolve the core disputes in Somalia and the Conference at once. But greed for power or other reasons made Gabiyu reject Yusuf's proposal. As a result, the final result of the isolation of the La Hanwen Resistance Army by the other four major forces is worrying.
