Xiao Peng looked around and asked mukara, "mukara, didn't you say that Somalia should protect itself with real guns and live ammunition? What do I think of you all looking relaxed? "

Mukara was stunned and then burst into laughter: "Mr. Xiao, you don't understand. We are in Somalia now, and we are not in Somalia. This is Somaliland. When you get here, don't say it's Somalia, but Somaliland. "

After hearing this, Xiao Peng was puzzled. Mukara explained: "in 1991, Somalia fell into a warlord melee. At that time, the Somali national movement (SNM) dominated by the Isak nationality occupied the area and declared independence. At that time, Somalia was divided into three parts: Somaliland in the north, Puntland in the East and Somalia in the south. But Somaliland's independence has not been recognized internationally. Just think of it as five of Somalia's 18 provinces. Today's Somalia is also made up of these three regions. Both Somaliland and Puntland claim to be independent, but Somalia says that we are an inseparable part. The same is true internationally. Only Somalia is recognized, not the Republic of Somaliland and the Republic of Puntland. For example, there are more pirates in Puntland and more terrorist attacks in Somalia. Somaliland is one of the most stable countries in Africa. There is no need for any protection here. "

Xiao Peng and Yang Meng look at each other. It's really strange in Somalia. The most chaotic and stable region in Africa is in one country?

But it looks stable here, but...... Poor!

This can be seen from the scale of the international airport!

When Xiao Peng heard that this is the most stable place in Somalia, he felt a little disappointed. It's not quite the same as Somalia he imagined!

At this time, a motorcade entered the airport, which was obviously not the motorcade of mukala. His motorcade had already stopped at the airport. As soon as he got off the plane, several bodyguards went to drive to the airport. Where did this team come from?

Don't say, it's the great wall of China. It looks very kind.

A black man got off a car. He was over 60 years old. He was wearing a suit. In such a hot weather, Xiao Peng found that the black people here attached great importance to the sense of ceremony. Mukalla was wearing a suit, and the people who got out of the car were also wearing suits.

Mukara knew the visitor. Just as he wanted to say hello, he saw the man walking towards Xiao Peng and holding Xiao Peng's hand: "are you Mr. Xiao? I'm the president of Somaliland, Dahir rayale Kashin. Just call me dashir. Thank you, Hua Xia. Thank you for coming all the way to guide our fishery work. Mr. Xiao, when I learned that the fishery experts from Cuba would come here to help the fishery poverty alleviation project, you didn't know how excited we were! The "magnet" project that the United Nations rescued us is a very good project, but we are still unable to play their role due to technology difficulties. When we know that there are experts to guide our work, I am not excited! How timely you are

Daxir said Xiao Peng's face was muddled, Yang Meng poked him: "Lao Lu! Lao Lu

Xiao Peng is back to his senses! Shit, no wonder he said he was coming to hargesalu. I wish he could go! That's why! He said hello to this place for a long time. That's why I don't worry about what will happen to me!

But you special what pour is to tell me, let me have a psychological preparation! I was caught off guard!

Naughty!

Tell me what the magnet project is! To guide him in technology? What to guide? Does the same sex attract the opposite?

Mukara's eyes turned: "President dashir, the 20 fishing boats in Somaliland supported by our charity fund this time are actually donated by Mr. Xiao!"

"Mr. Xiao, I didn't think you were such a kind person. Your 20 fishing boats are really helpful to our country's fishery development! We are not afraid of fishing boats, even if there are a few fishing boats in the country, we are not afraid of any fishing resources, but we have not been afraid of fishing boats for a long time! Our government has decided to make full use of these 20 fishing boats to further improve the people's livelihood. "

Xiao Peng came back to his senses. Twenty of his seventy ships had been sent here.

"Mr. Shaw, you are really a good friend of our Somaliland people! Long live the friendship between the two peoples Said dashir excitedly.

After hearing this, Xiao Peng coughed twice: "mm-hmm, hooray! Long live

"Mr. Xiao, we have a dinner party ready at the presidential palace," dashir said cheerfully. A few, please

Although Xiao Peng was quite muddled, he still got on the car together. Left the airport together. Dashir sat in the co pilot's seat and introduced the scenery along the way with Xiao Peng.

In other words, Hargeisa is more prosperous than Xiao Peng imagined! It completely subverts Xiao Peng's imagination of Somalia.

This is a city in the valley with a very large population. At least it's more than five times more prosperous than the Quetta seen in Bati! There are also buildings everywhere - although there are no tall buildings, there are five or six story buildings everywhere. It feels like a match with the rural county of China. And the population is very large, very lively.From Dahir's introduction, Xiao Peng learned a little about the "country". Since the "independence" of Somaliland in 1991, no country has recognized its legitimacy. It is still a "non-existent country". However, people here do not think so. They have their own parliament, their own government, their own national Anthem and their own national flag, army and police Watch the money. It is an independent country in essence.

There is a sculpture on the street in Somalia, which is an old MIG machine shot down during the war, which reminds people that peace is not easy. Therefore, compared with other countries in Africa, the government here is clean and democratic, and does not implement religious laws. Therefore, the stability and harmony of the whole country is much better than that of many African countries - it is also a wonderful country.

You should know that this Somaliland is also an Islamic country. At present, there are not many Islamic countries in the world that do not implement religious laws. This is one of them.

And although Huaxia didn't recognize this country, it's really developing well here: Chinese cars can be seen everywhere on the street, mainly Great Wall Motors. They are now riding the Great Wall Saifu --- the president's special car is Saifu? Ha ha......

What's more, Huawei is also very good here! The communication network here is very good. People in Somaliland now pay by mobile phone. Everyone has a fixed account on their mobile phone, so they can save money to pay and collect money. Here, including billboards and business cards, will write their own payment account number to facilitate payment.

The popularity of mobile payment here is not comparable to that of star countries! Cow X!

But there is no way for people here to pay by mobile phone. Due to the economic depression, the devaluation of the currency here is very serious. The most common business here is selling money!

The currency of Somaliland is called the Somaliland shilling. There are only three denominations: 500, 1000 and 5000, and about 7000 to 10000 Somaliland can be exchanged for one dollar. Because the local people also distrust the local currency, so it gave birth to a way to make money, that is to sell money! There is even a money market in the city center:

there are bundles of banknotes all over the street. There is no police security around, and there is no safe. So the money is tied up with a rope and put on the ground without fear of being robbed. It is like Chinese cabbage waiting for wholesale.

It's also because the money here is not good enough. You have to pay a lot of money for a meal. It turns out that if you want to buy something expensive and important, you have to carry a bag of money when you go out. Huawei's mobile payment here solves a big problem for the public......

However, although this Somaliland is a stable and peaceful country, it also has problems --- poverty.

Maryland's poor!

They have the port of Berbera, which is a key transportation hub. Ethiopia has no port to sea. If you want to export goods, you have to go to the port of Borama in Somaliland. In addition, there is LAAS, the most attractive scenic spot in the horn of Africa Gaal cave frescoes, tourist attractions such as the ancient city of Zela in the Ottoman Empire, beautiful sea views, coral reefs and beaches, together with a peaceful and stable political situation, he should not have been so poor.

But they can't stand it. Bad luck! The world does not recognize the Republic of Somaliland, only Somalia. Next to it is the pirate infested Puntland. It's too late to escape from this sea area. Who dares to dock here? In the same way, people only know Somalia, but don't know Somaliland. Who dares to visit here?

It turns out that the animal husbandry here is also very developed. Millions of poultry are exported from here to the Middle East every year. However, at the best time for the development of animal husbandry, a valley fever broke out, and all animal husbandry exports were completely stopped. Although exports are now restored, the impact on their animal husbandry is fatal.

Moreover, there is a wonderful legal provision here, probably to protect the safety of foreign tourists. Therefore, it is stipulated here that if foreigners come to Somaliland, as long as they leave the capital Hargeisa, they must employ armed security personnel to protect their safety. In the eyes of those who don't know why, the public security here is very poor.

So the economy here can't develop any more. It's bad luck!

But there's also an advantage here, because this is the most stable place in Somalia, so any UN aid program has been sent here - although Somalia needs more than Puntland and Somaliland. However, the relief materials sent to those two places could not reach the people's hands at all - all of which were intercepted by "people with energy"!

For example, dashir's "magnet" is a project of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the European Union (EU) to rescue Somalia. It is a total of 25 fish collectors, which are said to be helping the poor people in Somalia. In fact, all the 25 "magnets" are in Somaliland. If you put it in Somalia or Puntland? Maybe we'll sell the scrap iron!

However, these things were sent over, but experts were not sent. The relevant agricultural officials in Somaliland were also confused when they looked at those things. How can they be used? Looking at such a simple thing can help local fishermen solve the problem of food and clothing?

It doesn't look like it's more practical than 20 fishing boats from Mukalla!Although mukara is a good product, dashir knows well that he sent the fishing boat just to expand his influence, but Somaliland is also a poor country, and there are border disputes with Puntland, so many things need Mukalla to get. Like this, 20 advanced fishing boats are much better than the "magnet" of the United Nations in their eyes!

Those "magnets" can give them a big problem - how to deal with it? Put it there as a decoration? What should the UN Food and agriculture organization do if it stops providing aid to Somaliland in the future?

At this time, Somaliland's good friends, far away in the east of China, extended a helping hand, and they sent fishery experts.

When Dahir inquired about Xiao Peng's information, he was astonished. Even advanced countries like Cuba needed him to give fishery guidance. It would be great if he came here to guide the fishermen in Somaliland!

Xiao Peng stayed in Hargeisa for three days. In addition to a one-day meeting with experts on agriculture and Fisheries of the Somaliland government, Xiao Peng spent the rest two days on the streets of Hargeisa to experience life here.

Xiao Peng really suspected that he had arrived in a fake Somalia. Everyone in the street is very enthusiastic here. If you ask for directions, you will be surrounded by more than ten people in an instant. It is estimated that the reason why you seldom see foreign faces...... It is also a standard Islamic country. When the trumpet of the minaret rings, most people go to the mosque to worship with the Imam. When they worship, the whole country stops.

Moreover, the life here is not as poor as expected, at least in this kind of every meal you can eat white rice, lamb chops are big, cheap and delicious - this is the staple food of the people here. In the street, you can often see people leading sheep shopping.

In fact, there is a very busy camel and goat market in the suburbs of Hargeisa. Men sell camels and women sell sheep. The price of camel is high, about 600 dollars per head, but what about sheep? Four hundred yuan for each. Almost all the families here raise sheep and camels. With sheep and camels, the family can basically eat and drink -- meat can be eaten, milk can be drunk, and endless cheese can be made.

Generally speaking, the people here are not rich, but they are not as poor as expected. There are many cars and people can't be hungry. It's so much better than I thought.

After staying in Hargeisa for two days, Xiao Peng and others, accompanied by dashir and relevant officials, drove to Berbera.

Why not fly?

Special Xiao Peng really don't want to take that presidential plane, OK! Xiao Peng is afraid to get down like this!
