Chapter 371 Press Conference
Since the border armed conflict between Kenya and the Palamin army on the 12th, not only the countries or forces around Africa, but also many countries in the world have been seriously concerned about this.
Generally speaking, after such a non-surname exchange of fire incidents, both sides will try their best to restrain. And send representatives to negotiate on the crossfire. At the same time, the army kept calm while guarding to prevent the recurrence of the conflict.
Neighboring countries or forces thought so at the beginning. After the conflict, Kenya and Palamin's cooking army will definitely negotiate a private end to the exchange of fire. Then announce it to the outside world. But to the unease of some forces, there is no sign that there is a sign that the two sides intend to regard the exchange of fire as an accident. The situation is developing to the side that many people did not expect.
At 8 a.m. on the 14th, Kenya's political axe held a press conference in the capital Nairobi. At the meeting, the appearance of Kenya's provincial Minister of State for Management and National Security undoubtedly injected many journalists at home and abroad with chicken blood. Because generally speaking. For a small conflict like this, as long as a spokesperson comes out to explain it. But now Mulengaru, the third member of the Kenyan cabinet, is now present. Many reporters have some speculation about the fire exchange at the Soken border that suddenly calmed down for more than a day.
"Sirs, ladies and journalists. First of all, please allow me to mourn for one minute for the four Kenyan soldiers who died in the '7.12' conflict. Mulengalu walked to the rostrum, said with a heavy face, made a Christian standard prayer, and then closed his eyes to 'mourned' for a minute.
The following dozens of domestic and foreign reporters have different looks. Some showed a look of astonishment. Some did the same thing as Mulengalu. There are also hidden disdainful eyes. The three main attitudes indicate three kinds of people. The first is from a neutral point of view, the second is the close relationship with Kenya and even the media reporters in Kenya, and the last is the journalists from countries that have a bad relationship with Kenya or the media with the ruling party in Kenya.
"As an important member of the African Union, Kenya has been committed to peace and development in Africa and has made a lot of efforts to this end. As we all know, Kenya has put a lot of effort into the peace talks in Somalia. The peace conference held in Nairobi today proves that Kenya, as a member of the African Union, is qualified and contributing. I believe that the African people and the Somali people can clearly understand this. What can make the Kenyan people sad and indignant is. All the efforts we have made for this are hated by some people with a certain purpose. It not only prevented the continuation of the peace talks in Somalia, but also retaliated against Kenya by means of angering the African people. This is a despicable act of contempt for peace with the African people and the Somali people. It should be rejected by the whole African people. The Kenyan political axe, the victim, once again assured the African people that the Kenyan political axe was absolutely free from these evil forces. Whether now or in the future, it will fulfill the responsibilities of an African Union member for peace and development throughout Africa..."
On the rostrum, Mulengaru spoke with a look of affection but mixed with resentment for the 'evil forces'. Finally, Mulengalu said with a firm and uncompromising look that he would fight against the forces that hindered peace and development in Somalia and Africa and would never compromise.
The flashing spotlights completely record the image of Mulengalu's 'Justice Fighter'. Some reporters who were moved by Mulengalu's words even stood up and applauded vigorously.
Seeing all this, Mulengaru was proud. As long as the media here will publish his speech today. The whole world will know the 'just image' of Kenya's political axe. This move will not only enable Kenya to gain the support of some peace enthusiasts, but also enhance the hearts of the ruling party in Kenya. Most importantly, under the spres of 'justice', Kenya's next military operation has a slogan of justice. At least he will not be attacked for his casual interference in his affairs and internal affairs.
After Mulengalu finished his speech, the reporter asked a question. The first reporter to ask questions was naturally a media reporter in Kenya. The Nation Daily, the newspaper with the largest circulation in Kenya, was of course the first to be asked by Mulengalu.
The reporter of the National Daily did not ask about others, but only about the aftermath and treatment of the four dead soldiers and the wounded soldiers.
The second person who was agreed to ask the question was a reporter of the New York Times in Kenya, a tall young woman with a sense of surname.
"Hello, Minister Mulengalu, I'm Clara, a reporter from the New York Times. May I ask Minister Mulengaru, how do you plan to deal with this border conflict next? The gray suit sets off Clara's complete figure even more exquisitely. There were even a few soft throat shrugs at the quiet press conference.
Compared with her beautiful appearance and surname figure. Clara's question is undoubtedly very sharp and direct. He directly asked how Kenya's political axe and Palamin cooked the army to deal with this conflict. Most of the reporters present are reporters based in Kenya. There are some network networks in the local area. Kenya's political axe swaggered to send a Garissa troupe to the border, and these reporters basically got the news. But is this Kenyan elite group going to the border to deter Somali local armed forces or for other purposes? This is all the news that the reporters here are eager to know.
So after Clara asked a question, the whole conference room was quiet. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Mulengalu's face. Looking forward to his answer.
Mulengalu seems to be prepared for this. He said quickly, "Ms. Clara's question must also be what the reporters and friends present here want to know. Here, on behalf of the Kenyan political axe, I officially issued a notice to the Paraming Cooking Army: I would like to make the strongest condemnation of the Paraming Cooking Bureau for this unscrupulous attack on our border troops. This kind of behavior that hurts the hearts of our people and threatens our national security is very bad. China's political axe hopes that Paraming can be soberly aware of his mistakes, take the initiative to hand over the murderer of the '7.12' incident, and apologize to our people for this matter. I think it is a local force in Somalia. The Palamin Cooking Army should stand at the height of the Somali country and correctly view the current environment in Somalia. After the end of this incident, I can take the initiative to join the Somali peace talks. Together with other forces, fulfill the duties of a Somali people. Make efforts for peace and development in Somalia..."
When Mulengalu finished speaking, the reporters present were not satisfied. Because his words did not specify how to deal with this matter. Because everyone here knows that it is impossible for the Palamin cooking army to easily hand over the 'murderer', and after that, there is no explanation of what actions Mulengaru will be made in Kenya. Even so, the reporters are very satisfied. No one expects Mulengalu to expose the purpose of the Kenyan political axe. After all, this may involve military operations.
Next, several World Famous Newspaper reporters were agreed to ask questions. At the end, Mulengalu left the opportunity to An Xiao, a reporter of Huaxia Xinhua News Agency in Kenya.
"Hello, Minister Mulengalu, I'm An Xiao, a reporter from Huaxia Xinhua News Agency." The 7.12' incident is a very regrettable thing for everyone, but I think many people, like me, do not know the cause of this conflict. Could you please explain this, Mr. Minister? A girl with a ponytail stood up and asked with a serious face.
After listening to An Xiao's question, other reporters also lit up. Many of them then took out their notebooks and stared at Mulengaru with a very concentrated spirit.
Mulengalu's face changed slightly, and only a few reporters present found this abnormality.
How could this Chinese reporter ask this question! Damn it. Mulengalu cursed in his heart. Did he say that the cause of the conflict was that the Kenyan border troops shot and killed a refugee who crossed the border? In that way, the whole of Africa will be shameless and angry with the Kenyan military. Unlike other countries, the border areas here are not heavily regulated. Except for a few important places. Other places are the same as there are no borders. Coupled with the many land disputes left over from African tribes and history, countries turn a blind eye to this small-scale random border crossing. Even if it is found, it is persuasion or repatriation. Even in the United States and China, it is the same. Refugees will never be shot directly for crossing the border. If this matter is said, how serious damage should it be to the image of Kenya's political axe?
"At present, according to the military investigation, the main cause of the conflict. It was attacked by the Paramin cooking army by China's border troops when they arrested illegal militants who crossed the border. China's political axe is very dissatisfied with the behavior of shielding criminals like the Palamin cooking army. Our political axe hopes that through you, Palamin's cooking army can recognize the facts..." Mulengalu is also a politician, and in a few words, he completely shifts the responsibility to Palamin's cooking army. Then there is a long speech of 'indignation'.
Out of the press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kenya, she hurried back to send the news back to An Xiao in China. Suddenly, she heard someone calling her name behind her back. Looking back, it was Clara, the only good friend here.
"An, you just asked so well. You didn't notice that the minister's face had changed!" Clara looks like a young woman in her thirties, but she speaks as playful as a girl.
At this moment, she was hugging An Xiao's shoulder, learning from Mulengalu's expression, and then giggling.
An Xiao shook his head helplessly and said antonically, "Be quiet. If you are heard, you will be in trouble." This is outside the Kenyan Ministry of Foreign Affairs building. It is a diplomatic incident to speak ill of Kenya's No. 3 here.
"It's okay. Didn't you see that those stupid soldiers are lazy? I said, Ann, are you satisfied with Minister Mulengalu's answer? I always feel that there is something wrong with it. Clara smiled and asked in a low voice.
