Smit is an ordinary oil and gas field engineer who was sent to the capital Mogadishu because of a $30 billion oil and gas field development agreement between ExxonMobil and the Somali authorities.
As usual, Smit came to the coffee shop, ordered a cup of black coffee that tasted so bad that he could drink it all afternoon, and then sat in a safe position far away from the window with a newspaper.
But now, all the buildings with some history are left in ruins, the bullet holes on the walls are clearly visible, most of the roads are full of potholes, and there is almost no greenery in the entire city. As long as you open your mouth, you will definitely be able to eat a full stomach of sand.
Smit did not disturb his sweet dream. He was just worrying about something and drinking wine.
However, what's interesting is that the Chinese employees don't seem to be very interested in things like bars. The only ones who frequent the bar are American and European employees who work for Shell and Exxon Mobil.
Although he had made various preparations before coming here, the degree of dilapidation here ultimately exceeded his expectations.
Therefore, for these employees who are dispatched here, the only entertainment here is to buy the latest newspaper, sit in a cafe near the company's headquarters, consume air-conditioning that the locals cannot afford, and drink Spend the afternoon sipping hand-ground coffee priced in US dollars.
The streets were full of cheers and celebrations, and locals gathered in small groups, as if celebrating or welcoming something.
He had read in a travel magazine that before the civil war it was called the White Pearl of the Indian Ocean.
Is there anything of value there besides rocks and sand
There is no point in bringing order to cacti and camels.
But now, all the buildings with some history are left in ruins, the bullet holes on the walls are clearly visible, most of the roads are full of potholes, and there is almost no greenery in the entire city. As long as you open your mouth, you will definitely be able to eat a full stomach of sand.
This is simply ridiculous!
He is well aware of the combat effectiveness of the Somali regular army. Even though they have received training from officers from various countries, they are still quite brutal in fights. It can be said that replacing the rifles with fire-breathing spears does not feel any violation at all.
"Do you still need to read it? Today, Twitter is discussing this matter! Many people say that China used some kind of terrible secret weapon. I heard from our resident bodyguard that his eldest nephew serving in the resident participated in that battle , they were already prepared for a life-and-death struggle with the militants, but after entering, they just went to collect the bodies of the militants."
For this lifeless city, this scene seems to be from another world, so unreal.
"What do you think that secret weapon might be?"
Sure enough, when he read along the text, he quickly found the answer between the lines.
It’s not just the greening issue that’s causing criticism.
After all, there seems to be only so much that a little person like him can witness with his eyes...
No, there’s still half a year left.
Although he had made various preparations before coming here, the degree of dilapidation here ultimately exceeded his expectations.
"With the support of China, the Somali government forces launched the largest offensive this year against the Elewage area occupied by militants. During the fighting, China dropped at least hundreds of aerial bombs on the battlefield and destroyed two ammunition depots. There are more than a dozen outposts controlled by armed elements.”
The Americans actually helped China keep the secret
"In addition, our reporter has consulted the US military base in Ethiopia and asked for more information about this air strike. However, the person in charge of the military base has not yet disclosed the type of aircraft involved in the air strike, and where the air strike came from. Declined to answer in more detail."
After reading the newspaper in his hand and seeing that it was getting late, Smit drank the last bit of coffee in his cup, tipped the waiter a dollar and stood up from his seat.
"It's just crazy..."
Because of the special local culture, there are no bars here, and casual drinking will be punished by caning.
The moment he saw the headline in the newspaper, Smit's first reaction was that there must be something wrong.
It doesn't matter what newspaper it is.
For example, being able to stay outside the dormitory until ten o'clock in the evening... In order to protect those Chinese people, the local military and police stationed at least three times more police force here. In the past, they would occasionally encounter robbers, but now as long as they do not step out of this street, On the street, basically not even a local person can be seen.
But Smit still couldn't figure it out.
This is simply ridiculous!
Although their executives managed to get them the privilege of being able to drink alcohol without being whipped, this privilege was only available in the employee dormitories, and the variety and quantity supplied were quite limited, which really made people unhappy.
Therefore, for these employees who are dispatched here, the only entertainment here is to buy the latest newspaper, sit in a cafe near the company's headquarters, consume air-conditioning that the locals cannot afford, and drink Spend the afternoon sipping hand-ground coffee priced in US dollars.

Two of the two groups were of a "black coffin" suspended by a parachute, presumably taken with some kind of professional remote shooting equipment.
Over the next week, things got even more interesting.
"…God."
It doesn't matter what newspaper it is.
For this lifeless city, this scene seems to be from another world, so unreal.
Facing such an enemy, let alone them, even if they bring in the US aircraft carrier, they may not be able to completely eliminate them, let alone the Somali Army, which cannot even get together a few tanks.
Smit would never believe that those US troops would keep secret about the weapons used to launch air strikes on behalf of the Chinese. If they knew it, they would definitely want the whole world to know it too.

Whether it's the BBC or Hua | Hua | Gong | Zi, as long as there are words, it's fine, because life here is so boring.
It’s not just the greening issue that’s causing criticism.
"Have you seen the news yesterday? The Somali government forces actually won the battle?!"
As usual, Smit came to the coffee shop, ordered a cup of black coffee that tasted so bad that he could drink it all afternoon, and then sat in a safe position far away from the window with a newspaper.
And frankly speaking, a chaotic Somalia can at least help the world steadily consume part of its excess arms and support at least 20,000 families who depend on it for a living.
After all, there seems to be only so much that a little person like him can witness with his eyes...
Just when he was about to start today's newspaper reading, he was stunned for a moment.

However, there is nothing you can do if you can’t figure it out.
Just as the expression on his face gradually changed from suspicion to disbelief, the voices of several other foreign employees were heard talking quietly behind him.
Before the Chinese expand the market there, they can make a fortune while the chaos there is still there.
No, there’s still half a year left.

Just as the expression on his face gradually changed from suspicion to disbelief, the voices of several other foreign employees were heard talking quietly behind him.
Two of the two groups were of a "black coffin" suspended by a parachute, presumably taken with some kind of professional remote shooting equipment.
What a coincidence was that what they were discussing happened to be the same thing that he couldn't figure out and was doubting his life.
What the hell
"What do you think that secret weapon might be?"
Just as the expression on his face gradually changed from suspicion to disbelief, the voices of several other foreign employees were heard talking quietly behind him.
Although their executives also tried to bribe local officials to see if they could find a way to open an American-style bar to entertain their employees, the officials promised it when they collected the money, but when they were ready to open the bar When I was there, I instantly turned my face and refused to recognize anyone.
This is simply robbing people openly!
April Fool's joke
"At present, the battlefield has shifted from open areas to street fighting, and many militant leaders have been killed. According to the spokesperson of the Somali authorities, the armed forces active in the area are no longer able to maintain control of the area, and the government forces are recovering the original territory. Villages and towns controlled by militants. The unrest is expected to continue until the end of the year. This newspaper reminds foreign employees working there to pay attention to travel safety."
It’s not just the greening issue that’s causing criticism.
After all, there seems to be only so much that a little person like him can witness with his eyes...
Although he was curious about what happened to be worthy of celebration, Smit did not dare to approach the locals because his skin color was too eye-catching for the locals and he could easily be regarded as a fat sheep...
No, there’s still half a year left.
However, what's interesting is that the Chinese employees don't seem to be very interested in things like bars. The only ones who frequent the bar are American and European employees who work for Shell and Exxon Mobil.
To be precise, that's four sets of pictures.
The moment he saw the headline in the newspaper, Smit's first reaction was that there must be something wrong.

There is no point in bringing order to cacti and camels.
Facing such an enemy, let alone them, even if they bring in the US aircraft carrier, they may not be able to completely eliminate them, let alone the Somali Army, which cannot even get together a few tanks.
It is said that a food crisis is breaking out there, and wars between tribes and warlords are ongoing.
This made Smit jealous with envy.
There are more and more Chinese faces nearby, and it has become a Chinatown.
Just when he was about to start today's newspaper reading, he was stunned for a moment.
He is well aware of the combat effectiveness of the Somali regular army. Even though they have received training from officers from various countries, they are still quite brutal in fights. It can be said that replacing the rifles with fire-breathing spears does not feel any violation at all.
This naturally includes Smith himself.
What the hell
Orbital weapons

Completely avoid the US military radar
Over the next week, things got even more interesting.
I don’t know what those Chinese people used to bribe them and actually made them bow their heads to their principles.
In contrast, the enemies they face are pirates who have caused headaches for governments around the world, devils who have survived the elimination and test of blood and fire for more than ten years.
Because of the special local culture, there are no bars here, and casual drinking will be punished by caning.
"I don't know, but many people say it is an orbital weapon... If it were a fighter jet or bomber, it would be impossible to fly such a distance, and it would be impossible to escape the radar of the US military base!"
This is simply ridiculous!
Although they are not as "rich" as the pirates in Somalia, there are untapped diamonds, gold mines, and oil, and every inch of the land there is full of the smell of carrion—or the smell of banknotes.
Smit did not disturb his sweet dream. He was just worrying about something and drinking wine.
Facing such an enemy, let alone them, even if they bring in the US aircraft carrier, they may not be able to completely eliminate them, let alone the Somali Army, which cannot even get together a few tanks.
As he spoke, the man with stubble on his chin couldn't help but clapped his tongue, as if he was a witness to the battle, and continued in a heavy tone.
"With the support of China, the Somali government forces launched the largest offensive this year against the Elewage area occupied by militants. During the fighting, China dropped at least hundreds of aerial bombs on the battlefield and destroyed two ammunition depots. There are more than a dozen outposts controlled by armed elements.”

It’s not just the greening issue that’s causing criticism.
Later, there were more and more Chinese faces nearby, and supermarkets, clothing stores, and even franchised bars gradually opened.
With a feeling of disbelief, he looked down the newspaper, but it didn't matter. His eyes were immediately glued to the picture in the newspaper and couldn't move away.
Completely avoid the US military radar
This is simply ridiculous!
To be precise, that's four sets of pictures.
While drinking in the bar yesterday, he heard an arms broker he knew well complain that Chinese construction workers were taking away their jobs, and the remuneration paid to them by Lockheed Martin and other arms giants had dropped sharply. , now they have to give up the "market" they finally opened up and head to the more dangerous Central African region.
He had read in a travel magazine that before the civil war it was called the White Pearl of the Indian Ocean.
There's no other way, who wants the only bar in this area
That is, so far, they have not found enough evidence to prove who launched the air strike and where it came from.
April Fool's joke
To be precise, that's four sets of pictures.
Two of the two groups were of a "black coffin" suspended by a parachute, presumably taken with some kind of professional remote shooting equipment.
This naturally includes Smith himself.
These East African natives may have never seen what a drone looks like, so how could they use high-tech equipment that even the US military has not installed on a large scale.
The other two photos are a long-range shot of a swarm of drones flying out of the black coffin, and thick smoke rising from an explosive ammunition depot hidden behind the hills.
However, something happened later that made Smit very angry. One day he suddenly discovered that the wine sold to them by the Chinese was twice as expensive as the price sold to their employees.

The moment he saw these pieces of equipment, Smit was certain that the Somali authorities must have invited foreign aid.
Let’s just say that the Somali government achieved an epic victory with the help of aliens!

"At the same time, our reporter learned that China has invested in a small drone that is suspected to be controlled by AI, automatically identifies the identity of militants and attacks them. This drone is closely related to the Shenzhen market recently. The logistics drones being promoted are highly similar in shape, and it is still unclear whether they come from the same company... "
While drinking, the arms broker with a vicissitudes of life fell asleep.
However, something happened later that made Smit very angry. One day he suddenly discovered that the wine sold to them by the Chinese was twice as expensive as the price sold to their employees.

During the fighting, China dropped at least hundreds of aerial bombs on the battlefield and destroyed two ammunition depots. There are more than a dozen outposts controlled by armed elements.”
Now Smit is becoming more and more certain that the Somali authorities must have reached some kind of ulterior deal with China and contracted all the reconstruction work in that area to those Chinese.

The sun is almost coming out in the west!
Later, Smit learned from several British oil workers that the Chinese construction companies were preparing to send an engineering team to the Elewagh area to rebuild the city recovered by the government forces.
In the next few days, strange things happened one after another.
"With the support of China, the Somali government forces launched the largest offensive this year against the Elewage area occupied by militants.

Yes, it's actually a bar.
Therefore, for these employees who are dispatched here, the only entertainment here is to buy the latest newspaper, sit in a cafe near the company's headquarters, consume air-conditioning that the locals cannot afford, and drink Spend the afternoon sipping hand-ground coffee priced in US dollars.

Thanks to these Chinese guys who were praised by the locals, even if they didn't like him, at least he had one more joy in his life, and he no longer had to drink coffee and read newspapers like an old man.
What a coincidence was that what they were discussing happened to be the same thing that he couldn't figure out and was doubting his life.
He couldn't describe this feeling, he just had a vague feeling that this change seemed to have started a long time ago, but recently even he began to be affected.

Listening to the discussions of several foreign employees behind him, Smit fell into silence. It took a while before he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence.

In contrast, the enemies they face are pirates who have caused headaches for governments around the world, devils who have survived the elimination and test of blood and fire for more than ten years.
Orbital weapons
Sure enough, when he read along the text, he quickly found the answer between the lines.
As he spoke, the man with stubble on his chin couldn't help but clapped his tongue, as if he was a witness to the battle, and continued in a heavy tone.
Just when he was about to start today's newspaper reading, he was stunned for a moment.
This made Smit jealous with envy.
Completely avoid the US military radar
When they talked about it, their eyes shone with excitement, just like the navigators of the sixteenth century.
For example, being able to sit here and drink with arrogance.
"At the same time, our reporter learned that China has invested in a small drone that is suspected to be controlled by AI, automatically identifies the identity of militants and attacks them. This drone is closely related to the Shenzhen market recently. The logistics drones being promoted are highly similar in shape, and it is still unclear whether they come from the same company... "
Smit did not disturb his sweet dream. He was just worrying about something and drinking wine.
Over the next week, things got even more interesting.
Whether it's the BBC or Hua | Hua | Gong | Zi, as long as there are words, it's fine, because life here is so boring.
Over the next week, things got even more interesting.
When he questioned the bartender, the only answer he received was "exchange rate reasons" and no further explanation.
This is simply ridiculous!
Yes, it's actually a bar.
That is, so far, they have not found enough evidence to prove who launched the air strike and where it came from.
Two of the two groups were of a "black coffin" suspended by a parachute, presumably taken with some kind of professional remote shooting equipment.
Although he was very angry, in the end Smit could only grit his teeth and admit it.
"It's just crazy..."
Before the Chinese expand the market there, they can make a fortune while the chaos there is still there.
Let’s just say that the Somali government achieved an epic victory with the help of aliens!
Smit is an ordinary oil and gas field engineer who was sent to the capital Mogadishu because of a $30 billion oil and gas field development agreement between ExxonMobil and the Somali authorities.
Although jealousy is jealousy, there is nothing wrong with drinking.
Just when he was about to start today's newspaper reading, he was stunned for a moment.
After reading the newspaper in his hand and seeing that it was getting late, Smit drank the last bit of coffee in his cup, tipped the waiter a dollar and stood up from his seat.
But now, all the buildings with some history are left in ruins, the bullet holes on the walls are clearly visible, most of the roads are full of potholes, and there is almost no greenery in the entire city. As long as you open your mouth, you will definitely be able to eat a full stomach of sand.
While drinking in the bar yesterday, he heard an arms broker he knew well complain that Chinese construction workers were taking away their jobs, and the remuneration paid to them by Lockheed Martin and other arms giants had dropped sharply. , now they have to give up the "market" they finally opened up and head to the more dangerous Central African region.
Although he was very angry, in the end Smit could only grit his teeth and admit it.
The streets were full of cheers and celebrations, and locals gathered in small groups, as if celebrating or welcoming something.
That is, so far, they have not found enough evidence to prove who launched the air strike and where it came from.
What a coincidence was that what they were discussing happened to be the same thing that he couldn't figure out and was doubting his life.
What the hell
"It's just crazy..."
For this lifeless city, this scene seems to be from another world, so unreal.
As usual, Smit came to the coffee shop, ordered a cup of black coffee that tasted so bad that he could drink it all afternoon, and then sat in a safe position far away from the window with a newspaper.
For example, being able to sit here and drink with arrogance.
Although he was curious about what happened to be worthy of celebration, Smit did not dare to approach the locals because his skin color was too eye-catching for the locals and he could easily be regarded as a fat sheep...
The streets were full of cheers and celebrations, and locals gathered in small groups, as if celebrating or welcoming something.
"Do you still need to read it? Today, Twitter is discussing this matter! Many people say that China used some kind of terrible secret weapon. I heard from our resident bodyguard that his eldest nephew serving in the resident participated in that battle , they were already prepared for a life-and-death struggle with the militants, but after entering, they just went to collect the bodies of the militants."
The other two photos are a long-range shot of a swarm of drones flying out of the black coffin, and thick smoke rising from an explosive ammunition depot hidden behind the hills.
Yes, it's actually a bar.
"In addition, our reporter has consulted the US military base in Ethiopia and asked for more information about this air strike. However, the person in charge of the military base has not yet disclosed the type of aircraft involved in the air strike, and where the air strike came from. Declined to answer in more detail."
In the next few days, strange things happened one after another.
"It's just crazy..."
There is no point in bringing order to cacti and camels.
"Have you seen the news yesterday? The Somali government forces actually won the battle?!"
This naturally includes Smith himself.
Is there anything of value there besides rocks and sand
Just when he was about to start today's newspaper reading, he was stunned for a moment.
However, something happened later that made Smit very angry. One day he suddenly discovered that the wine sold to them by the Chinese was twice as expensive as the price sold to their employees.
The sun is almost coming out in the west!
First, a Chinese construction company moved next door to them, and soon an oil company moved next door, and then an import and export trading company...
"With the support of China, the Somali government forces launched the largest offensive this year against the Elewage area occupied by militants. During the fighting, China dropped at least hundreds of aerial bombs on the battlefield and destroyed two ammunition depots. There are more than a dozen outposts controlled by armed elements.”
"Do you still need to read it? Today, Twitter is discussing this matter! Many people say that China used some kind of terrible secret weapon. I heard from our resident bodyguard that his eldest nephew serving in the resident participated in that battle , they were already prepared for a life-and-death struggle with the militants, but after entering, they just went to collect the bodies of the militants."
Although their executives also tried to bribe local officials to see if they could find a way to open an American-style bar to entertain their employees, the officials promised it when they collected the money, but when they were ready to open the bar When I was there, I instantly turned my face and refused to recognize anyone.
However, what's interesting is that the Chinese employees don't seem to be very interested in things like bars. The only ones who frequent the bar are American and European employees who work for Shell and Exxon Mobil.
For example, being able to stay outside the dormitory until ten o'clock in the evening... In order to protect those Chinese people, the local military and police stationed at least three times more police force here. In the past, they would occasionally encounter robbers, but now as long as they do not step out of this street, On the street, basically not even a local person can be seen.
Later, there were more and more Chinese faces nearby, and supermarkets, clothing stores, and even franchised bars gradually opened.
Yes, it's actually a bar.
Let’s just say that the Somali government achieved an epic victory with the help of aliens!
The streets were full of cheers and celebrations, and locals gathered in small groups, as if celebrating or welcoming something.
Vaguely, he felt that the logic of the world's operation seemed to be quietly undergoing some huge changes.
Whether it's the BBC or Hua | Hua | Gong | Zi, as long as there are words, it's fine, because life here is so boring.

But Smit still couldn't figure it out.
However, something happened later that made Smit very angry. One day he suddenly discovered that the wine sold to them by the Chinese was twice as expensive as the price sold to their employees.
It doesn't matter what newspaper it is.
With a feeling of disbelief, he looked down the newspaper, but it didn't matter. His eyes were immediately glued to the picture in the newspaper and couldn't move away.
This made Smit jealous with envy.
This naturally includes Smith himself.
The other two photos are a long-range shot of a swarm of drones flying out of the black coffin, and thick smoke rising from an explosive ammunition depot hidden behind the hills.

In contrast, the enemies they face are pirates who have caused headaches for governments around the world, devils who have survived the elimination and test of blood and fire for more than ten years.
Later, Smit learned from several British oil workers that the Chinese construction companies were preparing to send an engineering team to the Elewagh area to rebuild the city recovered by the government forces.
Although he was curious about what happened to be worthy of celebration, Smit did not dare to approach the locals because his skin color was too eye-catching for the locals and he could easily be regarded as a fat sheep...
"It's just crazy..."
However, something happened later that made Smit very angry. One day he suddenly discovered that the wine sold to them by the Chinese was twice as expensive as the price sold to their employees.
To be precise, that's four sets of pictures.
I don’t know what those Chinese people used to bribe them and actually made them bow their heads to their principles.
In contrast, the enemies they face are pirates who have caused headaches for governments around the world, devils who have survived the elimination and test of blood and fire for more than ten years.
"At present, the battlefield has shifted from open areas to street fighting, and many militant leaders have been killed. According to the spokesperson of the Somali authorities, the armed forces active in the area are no longer able to maintain control of the area, and the government forces are recovering the original territory. Villages and towns controlled by militants. The unrest is expected to continue until the end of the year. This newspaper reminds foreign employees working there to pay attention to travel safety."
However, what's interesting is that the Chinese employees don't seem to be very interested in things like bars. The only ones who frequent the bar are American and European employees who work for Shell and Exxon Mobil.
It’s not just the greening issue that’s causing criticism.
He couldn't describe this feeling, he just had a vague feeling that this change seemed to have started a long time ago, but recently even he began to be affected.
The streets were full of cheers and celebrations, and locals gathered in small groups, as if celebrating or welcoming something.
"In addition, our reporter has consulted the US military base in Ethiopia and asked for more information about this air strike.

Although jealousy is jealousy, there is nothing wrong with drinking.
Is there anything of value there besides rocks and sand
No, there’s still half a year left.
Later, there were more and more Chinese faces nearby, and supermarkets, clothing stores, and even franchised bars gradually opened.
After reading the newspaper in his hand and seeing that it was getting late, Smit drank the last bit of coffee in his cup, tipped the waiter a dollar and stood up from his seat.
"What do you think that secret weapon might be?"
However, something happened later that made Smit very angry. One day he suddenly discovered that the wine sold to them by the Chinese was twice as expensive as the price sold to their employees.
[Great victory in Ellevage! The Somali regular army won a great victory!]
Facing such an enemy, let alone them, even if they bring in the US aircraft carrier, they may not be able to completely eliminate them, let alone the Somali Army, which cannot even get together a few tanks.
With a feeling of disbelief, he looked down the newspaper, but it didn't matter. His eyes were immediately glued to the picture in the newspaper and couldn't move away.
What a coincidence was that what they were discussing happened to be the same thing that he couldn't figure out and was doubting his life.

Over the next week, things got even more interesting.
This is simply robbing people openly!
There's no other way, who wants the only bar in this area
Two of the two groups were of a "black coffin" suspended by a parachute, presumably taken with some kind of professional remote shooting equipment.
Later, Smit learned from several British oil workers that the Chinese construction companies were preparing to send an engineering team to the Elewagh area to rebuild the city recovered by the government forces.
Therefore, for these employees who are dispatched here, the only entertainment here is to buy the latest newspaper, sit in a cafe near the company's headquarters, consume air-conditioning that the locals cannot afford, and drink Spend the afternoon sipping hand-ground coffee priced in US dollars.
He couldn't describe this feeling, he just had a vague feeling that this change seemed to have started a long time ago, but recently even he began to be affected.
Although he was very angry, in the end Smit could only grit his teeth and admit it.
It is said that a food crisis is breaking out there, and wars between tribes and warlords are ongoing.
There are more and more Chinese faces nearby, and it has become a Chinatown.
There's no other way, who wants the only bar in this area
However, something happened later that made Smit very angry. One day he suddenly discovered that the wine sold to them by the Chinese was twice as expensive as the price sold to their employees.

Thanks to these Chinese guys who were praised by the locals, even if they didn't like him, at least he had one more joy in his life, and he no longer had to drink coffee and read newspapers like an old man.
Because of the special local culture, there are no bars here, and casual drinking will be punished by caning.

These East African natives may have never seen what a drone looks like, so how could they use high-tech equipment that even the US military has not installed on a large scale.
There are more and more Chinese faces nearby, and it has become a Chinatown.
Although he had made various preparations before coming here, the degree of dilapidation here ultimately exceeded his expectations.

Whether it's the BBC or Hua | Hua | Gong | Zi, as long as there are words, it's fine, because life here is so boring.
And frankly speaking, a chaotic Somalia can at least help the world steadily consume part of its excess arms and support at least 20,000 families who depend on it for a living.
Let’s just say that the Somali government achieved an epic victory with the help of aliens!

Smit is an ordinary oil and gas field engineer who was sent to the capital Mogadishu because of a $30 billion oil and gas field development agreement between ExxonMobil and the Somali authorities.
"What do you think that secret weapon might be?"
Now Smit is becoming more and more certain that the Somali authorities must have reached some kind of ulterior deal with China and contracted all the reconstruction work in that area to those Chinese.
When they talked about it, their eyes shone with excitement, just like the navigators of the sixteenth century.
That is, so far, they have not found enough evidence to prove who launched the air strike and where it came from.

The moment he saw the headline in the newspaper, Smit's first reaction was that there must be something wrong.
"…God."
Although he had made various preparations before coming here, the degree of dilapidation here ultimately exceeded his expectations.
But Smit still couldn't figure it out.

Although they are not as "rich" as the pirates in Somalia, there are untapped diamonds, gold mines, and oil, and every inch of the land there is full of the smell of carrion—or the smell of banknotes.

Just as the expression on his face gradually changed from suspicion to disbelief, the voices of several other foreign employees were heard talking quietly behind him.
While drinking, the arms broker with a vicissitudes of life fell asleep.
This is simply ridiculous!
