Just as there was a lot of noise in Mogadishu from the US investigation team, the congressional investigation team led by Zoe and Colvin finally arrived in Mogadishu.
Somali President Mohamed? Siad? Barre showed great interest in the arrival of Americans. A few years ago, during the Ogaden War, the poor performance of the Soviet Union sent the Soviet Union to Somalia, and more than 1,000 pilots were driven out of Somalia. This also directly led to the Soviet Union’s fall to Somalia’s rival Ethiopia. In today’s world, all countries must choose a border team in the United States and the Soviet Union unless they declare neutrality. Although Somalia is now a socialist country, they can’t return to the Soviet camp. The United States is the only thing Somalia can rely on.
Although the purpose of Colvin’s trip is to investigate the food preparation of Friendship Africa Foundation, an ambitious politician will not give up the opportunity to show himself on the diplomatic stage. Instead of immediately investing in Friendship Africa investigators, Colvin first played a communication card with UN officials of Barre government. Even if Friendship Africa is completely destroyed, it will not bring Colvin any benefits, which is not as good as that of foreign politicians in . However, there are many journalists among their colleagues. They have to show Colvin’s diplomacy in Somalia before they can return to China, and its competitors will be greatly dragged.
Zoe and Kelvin both lived in the international hotel in downtown Mogadishu, where Zoe met Jimmy again. Jimmy told Zoe everything he found during this period. Zoe looked confused after listening. She asked, "Why did Friendship Africa send food to Ethiopia again?" What do they want? "
"I don’t know that their motorcade leaves Mogadishu for Ogaden every day! But the team is full of them, I can’t ask for more scenes! " Jimmy replied.
"No, it’s too late for them to come and help those victims. I don’t believe they can change that 70 thousand tons of grain again!" Zoe said casually.
In Mogadishu, foreigners hardly make contact with people living in places and places where international organizations live, probably because of security problems. Journalists like Jimmy also live in Mogadishu, a United Nations designated security zone. These foreigners are not clear about the situation.
Zoe came with the investigation team, and his actions are subject to the approval of the investigation team in law, so Zoe can’t leave here without authorization, but this Calvin seems to have forgotten all the serious business of coming to Mogadishu.
Photographed by Yakov, rubik and others in Mogadishu also hid in the security zone for foreigners living in Mogadishu. This time, they were more complicated, but killing Zoe was the first time they accepted the new order. rubik and others pretended to be United Nations workers and stayed in the international hotel to monitor the delegation’s every move. At the same time, they were preparing another one.
……
A few days later, the biggest newspaper in Mogadishu published a message with the headline "Food will be carried away by Americans! "Look at the refreshing" Vertex Network O "
Chapter ninety Mogadishu riots (2)
Love you, watch network a, update the latest chapter of Soviet godfather as soon as possible!
The newspaper news made the Somalis both dissatisfied and disappointed, but the Somalis also demanded that some Somalis gathered outside the gate of the United Nations security zone one after another shortly after the news broke out, hoping that the American investigation team would come out and explain to them why it was necessary to give priority to one another in the distribution of relief food. However, due to the emotional visitors and the fact that the guards at the door did not understand Arabic, there was some friction in communication between the two sides.
Seeing this, the Somalis at the scene gathered slowly. With more and more onlookers, the officers and men of the United Nations peacekeeping force in Angola became a little nervous. An officer in charge at the scene asked the company to send an interpreter.
"Ok, I’ll send an interpreter, but the convoy of Friendship Africa Foundation is blocked on our road leading to the outside world. You’d better let those Somalis outside the door make way, or all vehicles will not get out today!" The official of the security zone headquarters replied
"Isn’t there another exit to the south?" Why don’t you let the Friendship Africa Foundation motorcade go out from there in a different direction? "The scene commander asks.
"These idiots hired less than a hundred trucks and even blocked an exit!" Headquarters replied
"Okay, I know. I’ll evacuate their motorcade now!" With that, the field commander left the sentry post and went outside to greet his motorcade.
The soldiers of the United Nations peacekeeping force indicated that the Somalis at the scene let them hit the gate and the barricade at the door, and let the truck wait for a long time in the security area. The Somalis were even more excited when they saw that the grain convoy was leaving the security area again. They tried their best to stop the truck from going any further.
"Why are we so kind to Ethiopians? Isn’t our Somali life a life?"
"You can’t take all the food with you. My child is starving!"
"You are not to disaster relief? We are the victims. Why don’t you send us food? "
……
The Somalis present were poor people who had heard the news early in the morning. They stretched out their hands and begged the motorcade to stop and give them some food. They clung to their suffering faces and looked full of pleading. Hunger had made them lose their dignity. They didn’t know where else to get food.
"Who is your head? This is not good today! Why don’t you send some food to the onlookers here? " Seeing that the situation was not good, the on-site commander advised the people of the Friendship Africa Foundation to let things go.
"We also follow the side meaning to do such a thing. We can’t do it. We mainly know that we people just found the job yesterday! "The truck driver nai replied.
"Then call you as hosts!" The commander replied
……
It is completely different from the procrastination in front of the security area. In the security area, Kelvin and his colleagues are checking their library and account information in the office building of the Friendship Africa Foundation. Chebyshev and others have been ordered to hand over all the documents, but the boss from Italy has not shown up yet, which makes Chebyshev feel Alexander.
"Can you take me to see your warehouse? I want to see how much food you have left for the victims here? " Zoe came to Chebyshev and said in a skeptical and questioning tone
"I … I … I think it’s better to wait until our director arrives. He came from Italy and may still be at the road station …" Chebyshev calmly handled the kidnapping incident when he first arrived in Somalia, and he was selected as the temporary director here. But later, Italy seems to have forgotten that these people have never removed the word temporary before the title of Chebyshev, but Zoe asked Chebyshev not to promise that Nikolai had sent the director here.
"Can anyone stop us? Friendship with Africa is a charity organization registered in the United States. We have a search warrant approved by Congress and the Federal Supreme Court. Please cooperate with us! "
"What’s wrong with Zoe! "Zoe is asking Chebyshev for colvin to come over there and ask.
"Senator Colvin, I want to see the warehouse of Friendship Africa Foundation!" Zoe simply replied
"Sir, we are entrusted by the United States of America to come all the way here to investigate you. Please cooperate with our work. Do you need me to show you a search warrant?" Kelvin asked without guest temperament.
Chebyshev couldn’t stand it any longer. He did his best to stop the Americans from investigating. He felt that this kind of performance should be justified by the Gorky Brotherhood and Nikolai. Chebyshev gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, please come with me!"
Chebyshev clearly knows that the Friendship Africa Foundation has a grain in the warehouse of the transportation center. These grains are either moldy or become like sand because they are left for too long. This kind of grain will not be taken as feed, and even in the Soviet Union, these grains can be poured into the fields as fertilizer.
Chebyshev told his hands to wait in the office building, and he was taken by the investigation team. Zoe and Colvin were also in the same car with Chebyshev. On the way to the grain depot, Zoe saw a lot of armed UN peacekeepers wearing blue berets.
"What happened?" Zoe was alert and asked the driver
"Nothing has been heard that Somalis are not satisfied with our sending food to Ethiopians, and some people are making trouble outside the security zone!" The driver replied.
"Nothing will happen, will it?" Zoe asked with some worry.
"Don’t worry, there is a Pakistani mountain regiment in the security zone. These Somalis don’t even have guns anymore. We are here to save them. How could they hurt us?" The driver said inadvertently
The motorcade went all the way to the warehouse of the transportation center. Chebyshev first took them to the warehouse with food, so that at least it could delay a little longer. When I was a child, a dozen warehouse doors smelled disgusting and musty, and Kelvin was almost vomited by the smell. Zoe and Jimmy recorded everything they saw.
