Chapter 437 `Multi-party meeting` successfully held

In the countless shining lights, Clara pulled An Xiao's little hand to finally kill a bloody road among thousands of troops and horses, and came to the representative closest to President Yousuf.

When they saw a figure, their eyes lit up and they planned to rush up without thinking about it. But he was blocked by a furry black hand suddenly sticking out in front of him. It turned out that a soldier in a short-sleeved military uniform who was responsible for guarding found the intention of the two women and quickly reached out to stop them.

Clara frowned, bent her arm and pushed the big black one in front of her like a door wall. But it felt like pushing on a big stone, hard, which made her pink arm a little painful.

The guard did not pay attention to Clara's 'push' behavior. He glanced at her faintly and kept looking away from guarding the crowd outside to prevent people from rushing in and threatening the representatives behind him.

"Colonel Hussein..." Clara threw a helpless white eye to the black man, knowing that he could not break through. At this moment, she noticed that Colonel Hussein, the chief of staff of the Paraming Cooking Army, was looking this way, and quickly shook her arm and shouted.

She and An Xiao went to the Palaming Cooking Army Headquarters many times to carry out interview missions. Many times, Lieutenant Colonel Anli received them and accepted their interviews, but they were still lucky to interview Colonel Hussein once. To sum up, they are still acquaintances.

Hussein, who was half a step behind President Yusuf, was searching for the boss in the crowd when he suddenly heard a woman's voice calling his name in his ear. Then he noticed two women who looked like journalists who were stopped by the guards. Originally, Colonel Hussein did not intend to respond. After all, President Yusuf was the only one in name. Now President Yusuf has not decided who will be interviewed first, so he can't decide without permission. However, Hussein suddenly found that the two female reporters were a little familiar. After a closer look, he remembered that they were female reporters who had repeatedly interviewed the Paraming Cooking Army and made positive reports.

Although Hussein was not ready to be interviewed by them at this time, it did not prevent him from nodding to the two female reporters. After all, these two female reporters are still familiar with the relationship between them and Paramin.

At this moment, the front staff has prepared the microphone, just waiting for President Yusuf to speak and be interviewed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, journalists at home and abroad. First of all, on behalf of the central government of Somalia and the Somali people, I would like to welcome your arrival..." Yusuf, dressed in a black suit, made a welcome speech at the press conference with a smile.

... Since the overthrow of the Somali regime led by President Barre in 1991, Somalia has been in a civil war for more than a decade. Countless infrastructure has been destroyed by the war, and countless Somali people have lost their loved ones and homes... With the support of many United Nations and neighboring countries, the formation of the Somali Commission for Reconciliation and Recovery has made the poor and helpless Somali people see the hope of peace again... In the opposition of a small group of ambitious people, The 'Somali peace meeting' expected by the Somali people and the people of the world has not achieved the goal of its formation, and Somalia is still in chaos..."

"In order to stop and solve the worsening situation in Somalia, after many calls from political axes, it has won the unanimous support of the parties such as Puntland and the Palaming Cook Army. This morning, the first 'Somali multi-party meeting' held in the Somali parliament hall..." Yu Sufu is worthy of being the person who created Puntland and became the leader of the Somali parliament and the president of Somalia's transitional political axe by various means. The words made many representatives of the forces present secretly give a thumbs up.

Hussain, who was half a step behind, listened solemnly. But in his heart, he secretly scolded Yu Sufu for being shameless. Obviously, it was you who offered enough exciting interests in exchange for everyone's support. At this point, it has become your running appeal.

After President Yusuf's speech, thousands of people and people from all over the world have gathered outside the Somali political axe building.

After Yusuf's speech, it was time for reporters to ask questions. But because it's noon now, there is a fierce saying on the top of my head. In order not to let people outside suddenly get heatstroke or something. Yusuf's decision was limited to three issues. Other specific situations, after the political axe is ready, a special press conference will be held to inform the outside world.

As soon as they heard the staff's report, hundreds of reporters were worried. Answer only three questions. That is to say, less than one in half of the reporters present can get the opportunity to ask questions.

The staff explained that a special press conference will be held later, but no reporter is willing to wait. Today's sudden meeting in Somalia is not a big event in the world. It's an event with a regional surname. To attract enough readers' attention, you need an exclusive surname and a quick surname. Otherwise, after a few days of speculation by the media, readers will not be in the mood to read it again.

The crazy crowded reporters quickly pushed several guards aside until the guards next to them reinforced and stopped the reporters from continuing to approach, and the reporters were only a few steps away from the front.

If it is another occasion, I'm afraid it won't be immediately scared to death by the madness of these reporters. But where is this place? Who is in the middle? Each of them is a high-level member of the local power faction. Which one doesn't rely on his ability to fight? How can you be intimidated by such a small scene?

However, in order to prevent the stampede, President Yusuf not only thanked these journalists for their enthusiasm, but also reminded everyone to pay attention to order.

After all, Clara and An Xiao are not martial arts masters. The two weak women were soon squeezed behind by some tall male reporters. Unwilling Clara wanted to squeeze into the front several times, but when she saw the tightness of the front, she couldn't even splash water in, so she immediately shook her head disappointedly.

Just when Clara thought that her bonus was going to be ruined again, An Xiao beside her hurriedly pushed her a few times.

"What about you... Clara, you are allowed to ask the first question!" An Xiao looked at Clara, who was still in a daze, and couldn't help saying anxiously.

"What?" Clara suddenly reacted, her eyes lit up, and she immediately noticed that her peers around her were looking at her with envy and even jealous eyes. And President Yusuf also paid attention to this side with a smile.

Clara calmed down and pressed it on her full chest before stepping forward in a passageway opened by others.

"President Yusuf, thank you for giving me the opportunity to ask questions. May I ask President Yusuf, do you think this 'multi-party meeting' has achieved the expected goals? Clara opened her mouth and asked questions that most of the reporters and other people waiting wanted to know.

From whether the expected goal has been achieved, we can see whether the meeting will be successful or not. Without the participation of foreign forces, with the support of Somalia's transitional political axe and several other forces, can we peacefully resolve the fragmentation of Somalia?

However, this point was not mentioned in President Yusuf's previous speech. Perhaps he intends to keep this question waiting for other people's questions at this time.

Yu Sufu replied with a affectionate smile, "This 'multi-party meeting' in Somalia, which is dominated by the political axe and supported by other parties, has generally been very successful. I think that in some core disputes that hinder peace in Somalia, most parties can take into account the overall situation and reach an agreement after careful study and consultation. Here, I would like to inform the outside world of the good news first. At the "multi-party meeting" in the morning, a total of 68 party representatives supported the formation of the new Somali Defense Forces and the unified central government axe. I believe that it won't be long before the Somali people and friends from the outside world will see a new and unified Somalia.

In several speeches, President Yusuf deliberately avoided the word ** of local armed forces, and replaced it with 'partisan'.

Yusuf's words immediately aroused a huge response in the crowd. Most people didn't expect it. Without the 'assistance' of foreign forces, Somalia's transitional political axe can actually make most of the local forces agree to form a new national defense force. This most controversial issue at the Somali peace conference has been solved so mysteriously! Since it is the formation of a new Somali defense forces, the armed forces held by the local forces will be 'disbanded' and incorporated into the new national defense forces.

However, although this news has caused a sensation, the most curious thing is what causes these local powerful figures to agree to 'disband the armed forces'? Without the exchange of enough interests or the oppression of deadly threats, how can these 'earth emperors' easily hand over the core of the supporting forces - the armed forces?

On the spot, many people passed this through communication equipment such as satellite phones. The surrounding countries of Somalia and the major countries in the world got the news in a very short time.

United Nations Secretary-General Annan, who was ready to make a speech in the afternoon to support Somalia's 'self-solve the problem', was immediately stunned by the news. The first thing he thought of was the impossible! Since 1992, the United Nations has not known how many times it has mediated, and has issued multiple document statements for this purpose. Peacekeeping forces have also been sent several times to resolve disputes between various forces in Somalia. But so many methods have not led to the real peaceful reunification of Somalia. Why can they solve those problems that are almost impossible to solve by negotiation in a meeting by themselves?

Annan felt that there seemed to be a deeper inside story. It seems that there is a hand pushing all this. He couldn't help but worry that behind the 'multiple-party meeting' in Somalia, a big country was secretly controlling it. That's what he doesn't want to see. African countries can only be made by Africans, and absolutely not foreigners.

There are many people who have the same idea as Annan. At the first time, the intelligence agencies of various countries in East Africa carried out a secret investigation on this matter.
