Red Alert Somalia

Bosasso’s forces are numerous and complex, and there are more than a dozen forces in addition to the undoubted government forces.

If you count the forces that are as many as one or two hundred, or even dozens of people, then this number is too much, no less than hundreds.Only Bosasso, a seaport city with a population of more than one million, can afford such a scale and chaotic pattern.

Not to mention those forces that can't make it to the stage, the forces that can make it have more than 400 armed forces, as many as one or two thousand tribal forces, and as few as four to five hundred non-tribal forces.

Due to the perennial famine, a large number of refugees flow into Bosasso every year. A large number of refugee camps gather around the city. Unlike the slums in many countries, the livelihoods of the refugees in the refugee camps are simply not available.

The large number of idle refugees has also led to countless people robbing even the dirtiest and tiring job.Whenever armed forces recruit troops, it is the best place for these refugees.

The salary of ten dollars a month is very attractive to refugees.In a family, as long as someone becomes a soldier, the family is temporarily free from hunger.

The source of troops is the least valuable in all parts of Somalia.Because serving as a soldier can solve the most basic problem of food, there are countless people who want to join local forces or government forces every day, even those organizations labeled as anti-government forces, as long as they have money to get it, there will be countless people fighting. grab.

Poverty and famine have brought opportunities for the development of various armed forces. As long as they have enough weapons and food, each force can arm a sufficient number of troops.This is also an important factor that prevents countless factions in Somalia from disappearing. Even if one falls, there are many replacements.

The whole of Somalia is relatively stable outside of Somaliland, and the rest is a city like Bosasso where a large number of government troops are stationed, which is relatively stable.However, the stability here is relative to other cities in Somalia.

Bosasso is the most important city in the Puntland Republic, because the entire Puntland fiscal revenue comes from Bosasso International Port.Although this port is very dilapidated, the annual tax revenue of hundreds of millions of dollars comes here.It accounts for 95% of the total tax revenue of the Puntland Republic, an unquestionable money jar.

Therefore, the security of Bosasso appears to be very important. There are nearly 50,000 government troops in Bosasso. From the port to the center of the city, they are strictly controlled by the government to ensure the smooth operation of the port.

Around Bosasso, under the influence of drought, a large number of herders and civilians in other places have migrated to live around the city.The armed forces formed with the tribe as the core began to occupy the outside of Bosasso.

The chief or elder of the tribe is equivalent to the head of the armed forces.

Different from other places, the development of various forces here appears to be a little more peaceful. Of course, the main reason is that the strong deterrent force of the government forces is placed here, which has led to the tacit understanding of all forces to avoid armed conflicts.

If you change this place to Mogadishu, the situation will be completely opposite. The government forces can't even enter their own capital, let alone control it. They just hang the name of a government and control the country. Is zero.

This time, it is very rare for many forces to unite and attack other forces together.In addition to the huge benefits, I am afraid that these heads of forces have also deterred the government forces that have been ready to move in the past few years.There is also deepening of the coordination and tacit understanding between the various forces.

The idea is very good, but the actual situation is completely different from what the leaders of the major forces think. The benefits are not obtained, and everyone has suffered huge losses. It is a certainty that the gains outweigh the losses.Next, how to recover the decline as much as possible and minimize the loss has become the key.

"This must be Elder Muradi, and your words are very reasonable. However, when I came here, I did not take my safety to heart. However, I also believe that you will not do this. As long as I die, It will be a situation of endless death. At that time, the government army will clean up us together without any effort."

Muhammad didn’t care about this kind of linguistic threat. The reason is simple. Since the dialogue has started, his life and death can only be seen at the moment when the talk is broken. Now, there is no need to worry about his safety. .

Mohammedi went on to say: "You must have realized that if you continue to fight like this, what will happen. Although I am a victim, in order to stabilize the situation in Bosasso, I would rather let go of the hatred between you and plan to fight You guys have a good talk. It's also good to know where we offended you."

"Humph!" Muradi snorted coldly on the side: "I don't know who the victim is. The soldiers we sent out on the mission all died on the road, and they were around your territory. You can Please explain to us."

"We have no knowledge of this matter. However, I would like to ask what mission you have sent so many soldiers out to perform. There is only our base here, and a hundred kilometers to the west, it is the border of Somaliland. Could it be that you Want to go to the United Somaliland government?" In this case, how could Muhammedi admit that he was a soldier who attacked the other side.

"You don't need to worry about this, we are here together just to ask for an explanation." It is impossible for Muradi and others to say the true purpose here.

There were things both sides did not want to admit, and the dialogue fell into a deadlock in an instant.

"Dialogue, there must always be something to say. Everyone is the leader of a force and is in a high position. I think there is a reason everyone knows. Except for the endless kind, no matter how much hatred the two sides of the conflict have, The day when there is always a settlement, it can be negotiated or reconciled. Between us, in the past ten days, both sides have suffered a lot of casualties. It can be said that no one can take advantage, and no one can gain a profit. Say. Besides, I still don’t know what kind of grievances we have between us. Could it be that you all came to snatch my meager possessions?"

Muhammad didn't want to stay here too much, and directly led the topic to the topic.

Hearing Muhammad's words, the leaders of these forces fell silent. For a while, Mozabi, who had never had a chance to speak, said: "Mr. Muhammad, all this is just a misunderstanding. We have not The meaning of coming to snatch your property is just because our soldiers were attacked for no reason. We just want to ask for an explanation."

Mohammedi didn’t say anything about the hypocrisy of these people. This kind of negotiation was full of deceptions and lies. "Then you are indiscriminate and you are free to even inquire. Come directly and attack my territory, if it weren’t for me. The defense work of the People’s Republic of China is well established, and now I am afraid that this old life has been taken away by you."

"I've said this is just a misunderstanding." Mozabi emphasized again.

"Well, since it's a misunderstanding, it's easy to handle. Other chiefs and elders also think this is a misunderstanding." Muhammad said as he turned his eyes to other powerful leaders.

The result was quite satisfactory to Muhammad. Except for a few unmoved, the other ten leaders nodded slightly.

"Before, I had no intention of starting a dialogue with you. According to my plan, the soldiers who came to attack this morning were not only more than two hundred, but they came out and wiped you out here. Don't doubt my strength, if not. Mr. Farah made peace for everyone, hoping that the conflict between us can be quelled. I am afraid that you all have become my prisoners."

Muhammad didn't worry about how these people would react excessively after saying these words.In order to control the right to speak, such semi-threatening words are necessary.Otherwise, you will put yourself at a disadvantage.

Of course, he was not deceiving people. If it weren't for worrying that the mobilized soldiers would suffer too much casualties and affect the overall defense force of the base, Li Lan really wanted to come out and wipe out all these people.It's just that reason has restrained the impulse.

In the base, there are currently about 1,400 mobilized troops that can fight, and if it is taken here, it will cost one-third of the casualties, or even half of the casualties.In this way, the gain has not been worth the loss, and it is impossible to deal with the government forces in the future.

After all, Arwell’s government forces are the base’s worst enemy.
