Red Alert Somalia

A dilapidated pickup truck was bumping on the road, and the body was covered with heavy dust. Obviously, it had not been cleaned for a long time.

Sitting in the pickup truck, Muslim Mohammedi hummed the song-like "Quran" and the "Song of Admonition" in Somali dialect.

Today is not Friday, but Mohammedi is in a good mood.Since his brothers and sisters had left Somalia since he was a child, he inherited his father's property and owned hundreds of camels and nearly two hundred sheep.In this small area, every Somalis who sees Muhammad will make way for him.

Of course, this is not his happiest place, but he made a lot of money this trip to Bosasso, selling a few male camels and some fat goats that have grown up, and the bullets collected in half a year are also for him. Bring no small wealth.If you want to be a good person in Somalia, there are few opportunities to make money, unless you have a legacy like Muhammad.Otherwise it is really difficult.

Camels and goats are the main farmed livestock in Somalia, relying on the camel herd and sheep left by his father's generation, Muhammad also has considerable savings.Encountered a natural and man-made calamity, I can also get through smoothly.

Although people like Mohammedi do not have an armed force, Somali armed personnel basically do not treat wealthy individuals like them.This can be regarded as a rare side of harmony in Somalia's chaos.

Mohammedi missed the Chinese who brought him dozens of dollars while he was happy. In the past two days, he was a little worried about whether the Chinese who was alone in Somalia would encounter unsolvable troubles.Because he hasn't shown up for three days.

In Muhammad's eyes, he somewhat liked the Chinese. He was alone in the Somalia, where people and gods feared. There was no protective power around him. His adventurous spirit and courage made him feel immensely admired.

Of course, if Li Lan knew that Muhammad said of him, he would probably be dumbfounded.

"May Allah bless him and let him not be harassed." Muhammad, who is completely ignorant of Li Lan's situation, can only pray in his heart that Almighty Allah will bless the Chinese who wanders in a foreign country.

After a few hours' journey, Mohammedi vaguely saw his village at the end of the road. Thinking of the goods pulled back from the car, Mohammedi smiled.

"Now those children should be satisfied!" As a Muslim, he is not a hard-hearted person, and the people who live with him are not the aboriginals here. Many of them escaped from the south. Agree to take them in.From time to time, he would give them a little food, and his actions have also gained the love of these villagers.

There is a strange phenomenon in Somalia. Although the south is close to the equator, the main vegetation of Somalia grows in the south, and the planting industry is basically in the south. The north is either desert or barren.But every famine is worse in the south than in the north.Especially when there is a severe drought, half of the people in Somalia will be plagued by hunger, and starvation has become commonplace.

Muhammad, who had been in classes at the University of East Africa for several years, knew the importance of knowledge. When the villagers helped him look after the camels and sheep, he would gather the children in the village and tell them to read and read. .

This time when he returned from Bosasso, he brought the sweets that the children never forget.Although these candies, which are extremely cheap abroad, become high-priced items in Somalia.But he still took out the profits of the trip and brought back some.

However, when he returned to the village, he saw the last thing he wanted to see. Just in front of his house, a military truck was parked. It looked like a brand-new military truck. There were still a dozen of them standing beside the truck. Armed men.The inhabitants of the village are hiding in the distance watching secretly.

Unknown soldiers, unrecognized trucks, Muhammad is very afraid that armed personnel from a distance will come to fight the autumn wind, because he basically knows the armed forces of Bosasso’s generation, and there is no force that has professional military trucks. Even with the power of trucks, there is no such new military truck.

Moreover, the armed forces around Bossasso would basically not come here. Even if they did, they would still have food and water, and they would all speak very well.

I couldn't help slowing down, stopped 50 meters in front of the armed men, grabbed the weapon on the co-pilot, and opened the insurance.Muhammad's nerves have been tightened together.

When he got out of the car, the armed men on alert pointed their guns at him instantly.Just when he was about to make a consent action, a voice appeared.

"Let go, that's our friend." As the voice fell, Li Lan in a suit jumped out of the cab of the truck.

Seeing Mohammedi, a nervous acquaintance in the distance, Li Lan laughed and strode towards the other side with open hands.The soldiers guarding the side also put down the AK-47.

The originally tense Muhammad saw that it was the Chinese who was just talking about it. After Li Lan opened his arms, his heart was also relieved.Pin the rusty AK-47 behind him, and walked towards Li Lan with a smile on his face.

"Dear friend, you have no roads for three days. I thought you were in trouble, and I also prayed to Allah to bless you. It is great that Allah is on, you have nothing to do." A simple handshake, Muhammad Then asked kindly.

"Thank you for your concern and rest assured! I'm doing well." Muhammad once again let Li Lan recognize the hospitality of the Somali. Although he is not clear about the authenticity of Muhammad's words, he still very happy.

"I think so, are they all your bodyguards? From the first day of contact, I knew Li, you are not a simple person. Also, today you are very handsome, I think in China, you must have Young confidante. Look at me, I'm covered in dust. You should tell me first and let me take care of my dress first." Muhammad also liked Li Lan's attitude very much, and looked at the suave Li Lan, he was not stingy. Your own words of praise.

"That's right, you know I am a foreigner here is not very safe, you must have it, I was embarrassed just now, I scared you." Li Lan is not a hypocritical person, and he gladly accepts the praise of the other party, but at the same time. In the scene just now, I expressed my apologies.

"It doesn't matter, I understand that my country is indeed dangerous. It is not your fault as a guest. It is that we Somalis have not fulfilled our responsibilities as masters." Mohammedi felt a trace of loss.Seeing the armed men around Li Lan, he could only feel sad for his country.

"My friend, if you understand the history of my motherland, maybe we can find a lot of common languages. I believe that as long as the brave Somalis can unite and cheer up, after all, the rainbow is ushered, and I think Allah does not want to see you lose Fighting spirit! Efforts will always pay off. If you don't work hard, it will always be nothing." Seeing that Mohammedi's mood was a little bad, Li Lan comforted.

"Thank you, you are my true friend." Muhammad continued: "I'm sorry my friend, I forgot to invite you in. The dust is too big, please sit inside and wait for me to move things in. , Entertain you with the best camel milk."

"Okay." Li Lan nodded, beckoning to the soldiers behind him, "Help our friends and move things down."

"Yes."

"Thank you." Muhammad was also not polite.

Because there are still two barrels of oil in the trunk of the pickup truck, it is really difficult for him to carry it alone.

Ten minutes later, at Muhammad's home, Muhammad, who had changed into clean clothes, brought a bowl of camel milk for Li Lan.In Somalia, once a guest arrives, they usually entertain them with camel milk, which also shows that the host has treated you as a real friend.

"Thank you for your hospitality, this time I brought you a gift." Camel milk is not difficult to drink, but rather smooth.This time, Li Lan had a completely different feeling from before."Ahmed, bring things in."

In Muhammad's puzzled eyes, two iron rectangular boxes were placed on the floor of the house.

"These are eight thousand rounds of AK-47 automatic rifle bullets, and each one is brand new." Li Lan said.

"Ah!" Hearing Li Lan's words, Muhammad couldn't speak directly, more than eight thousand bullets, in his eyes, it was more than ten thousand dollars!

Seeing Li Lan with a calm face, after thinking for a while, Mohammedi made up his mind to ask: "Although I don't know if I should ask, I don't know if this question will be taboo, you also know that we Somalia, there are many taboos. So..."

"It doesn't matter, we Chinese have very few taboos, you can ask at any time." Li Lan said.

"I want to know why you don't sell these bullets to those outside, I think they will give you a higher price." Muhammad has already determined that those outside are hired by Li Lan.

"Because you are my only friend in Somalia!" Li Lan didn't explain anything, but said sincerely.

"Uh!" Hearing Li Lan's answer, Muhammad was so moved that he didn't know what to say, but said excitedly: "Yes, we are friends, Li, you have gained a true Muslim friendship."

"Since you are a friend, don't be polite. But I'm very curious, why don't you ask, where did these bullets come from." Li Lan asked, if he really asked this question, he would be true for a while There is no perfect answer.

"Does this still need to be asked? Your China is so powerful, this bullet is nothing at all. In Somalia, there is no shortage of foreigners who come here to sell weapons. They even support some armed forces and obtain other benefits. These people are talented. It is the greatest harm in Somalia. They are all vampires, and Allah will definitely punish them." Muhammad, who became more and more excited, suddenly realized that the man next to him was also an "arms dealer" and quickly explained: "Sorry my friends, I believe you are different from them, so please accept my sincere apology."

"You're welcome." Li Lan didn't care because he was not an arms dealer.However, Muhammad's words reminded Li Lan a lot.
