Speaking of Somalia and Ethiopia, this old brother is absolutely, the Wolong Phoenix chick in east Africa, what this old brother does, can subvert the human cognition, only you can't think, there is no such thing as this old brother can't do it, it is really not afraid of sand sculptures, afraid of sand sculptures gathered in a nest, this old brother can take the whole world away, let's talk about Somalia today.
When I mention the country of Somalia, the first thing that comes to mind is pirates, there is nothing wrong with it, the specialty of this country in Somalia is pirates, but the profession of pirates is not something you can do if you want to. As the saying goes, the mountains eat the mountains and the water, the Somalis are pirates, and the geographical location of their country is really too unique. Somalia is located at the junction of the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean, he guards the Gulf of Aden, the land area of 630,000 square kilometers, and the coastline is particularly long, there is such a good terrain, do not pirates, it is a waste of materials. The original Somalis are also industrious and simple, they live by fishing, a few baskets of fish a day, drink some loose baskets, grill a few sea fish to eat is also a thief's incense, the rest of the fish to the market for a few pocket money, the small life is also leisurely and leisurely, it is quite moist, and then people never expected things to happen. The Western gang of crippled calves finally came, driving fishing boats and relying on modern fishing equipment to catch all the fish in the somali sea, and did not even leave a single kelp for the Somalis.
In this way, the Somalis' rice bowl was taken away by the Westerners, and the scattered baskets could not be drunk, and the grilled fish could not be eaten. Seeing that it is about to break, the Somalis can not dry their eyes and starve, and then the Somalis who were forced to go to the end of the road found a business opportunity, this sea at the gate of Somalia, is the only way to transport oil in the Middle East, every year to pass through tens of thousands of boats from here, these ships are veritable rich oil, simply let's do the business of robbing the road, this business is a million profits, as long as you are bold, anyone can do it, this road is opened by me, this tree is planted by me, if you want to fight this, leave to buy road money. So the great masters of Somalia hit it off and did the work of pirates, and since then somali pirates have turned out to be born, relying on geographical advantages, Somali pirates are doing a smooth ride, business is booming, all the way into the Wool Party of the Red Sea and the Pinduoduo of the Gulf of Aden, no matter who has passed from here, Somalis have to cut wool, no matter who I meet, I have to slash a knife, or cut a knife to your wallet, I don't care if you are a beautiful country or a fighting nation, as long as you beat me, I will not let go. This trade is not deceived, and the price is fair.
So the Somalis were cutting wires with kitchen knives, all the way sparks with lightning, just in the outlet period of the Somalis doing piracy business, as the trade became bigger and bigger, this person was obviously insufficient, so the personnel of the Somali pirate group, in Somalia from village to village to do venture capital, they held up a loudspeaker and shouted day and night, do you want to get rich quickly, do you want to get rich quickly, do you want to be rich, do you hesitate, hurry up and join the pirate group, you have a gun, you have a machete, you carry a machete, I guarantee that you will achieve financial freedom in the short term, marry Bai Fumei, and embark on the peak of your life. So these pirates pull a bunch of people, as long as there are enough people, they will save a team to rob, that is really cruel, draw a small raft, dare to rob tens of thousands of tons of giant ships, that is really life and death to look down, do not obey, as long as the courage of the Qingming 9 days off.
As the business ability of Somali pirates becomes more and more powerful, the knives of Somalia become sharper and sharper, the governments of all countries can't sit still, you guys are too fat, I put up with you for a long time, I don't give you some color to see, you really don't know how many eyes Ma Wangye has, so the navies of various countries have come to the Gulf of Aden to gather, this time the Somali pirates are muddy, the navies of various countries, no matter what kind of cannon, as long as one cannon goes down, the Somali pirates are ship destroyed, the ship and people are all blown up, the sea is not a piece of wood, That's the slice of human flesh, and that visual effect is too miserable. So from 2016 onwards, the Gulf of Aden has stopped, no matter how powerful the pirates are, no matter how strong the strength is, you can't beat the regular army, you really think of yourself as One Piece, that's a comic, big brother wake up. Then again, Somalia this country has not always been so chaotic, so nonsensical, then Somalia, that is also a serious East African bully, in East Africa this acre and three points, Somalis are still good, holding a hammer or two small bullies, it is not difficult at all.
The earliest Somalia is not a country, it is just a region, in the history of Somalia this land was colonized by the British, French and Italians in turn, this period of local people are confused, and then after the end of World War II, the whole of Europe has been beaten up, Britain, France, Italy are mixed into what bear-like, this brother is all lying in the ICU, if it is not for the Americans to give them medical expenses, these three countries will have to hang sooner or later, this gang of African poor brothers look, this goods are mixed into this bear-like, This is a godsend opportunity, do not take advantage of this time to engage in independence and wait for when, so the wave of African independence rises, Somalia also catches up with this fashion, you are independent and I am independent, but the Somalis have never had the experience of managing the country, how to build the country should be carried out, the Somalis are toads jumping into the well, do not understand, so the United Nations can not see it, so the United Nations can not see it, so it found him a master, let the master help Somalia to establish the country, the United Nations to find the master is Italy, the United Nations leaders, do not know how to think, If FIFA sends a few people to help Somalia, it is still reliable, the whole few good coaches help Somali football, there is nothing wrong with this, but let the Italians help Somalia to build a country, this is the brain-dead behavior, the Italians are naturally romantic, do things unreliably, that is a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, a soup diaper littering, which is the framework of this Somali country.
Time to 1960, the United Nations stipulated that the ten-year period of Italian trusteeship has arrived, the Italians are still relatively happy, they rolled up the rolls back to china, returned to the country to listen to opera, watch football, eat a big meal, bye bye you, Somali Italians go, Somalis still can't play, the Somali poor that is jingle, the people are thrilling, in 1960 Somalia's per capita GDP, less than 28 US dollars, this little money the people can only eat soil, More terrible than poverty is because of the perennial division, Somalis have no sense of national identity at all, there are tribes all over Somalia, these tribes have their own armed forces, to put it bluntly, the local warlords ordinary people can not eat, can only join the local warlords armed.
At that time, Somalia was a national RPG, per capita 98k had a contradiction on the gun, a word of gunfire, that colonial period, Somalia was divided into British Somalia, French Somalia, and Italian Somalia, in 1960 Somalia officially became independent, British Somalia and Italian Somalia, just want to form a big Somalia, we speak the same language, look the same skin color, why can't we become a family. So the two brothers hit it off, and merged into one piece, but French Somalia did not join this big family, although the two sides went together, but there were many contradictions, and the people on both sides were scolding the street with their feet crossed every day, what seven aunts and eight aunts, four uncles and grandfathers, all greeted each other, and the scolding called a kind, it seems that these two sides are really a family.
Because of the management level of the British colonists, directly dumping the Italians 10 streets, the two have obvious gaps in politics, taxation, trade and people's livelihood, so once the new country is established, the people on both sides can not urinate in a pot at all, who looks at everyone is awkward, and this gang of tribes, this gang of goods is not a fuel-saving lamp, they not only have their own armed forces, they also have their own political parties, this gang of goods every day in the Parliament scolding the street, not doing anything serious, the contradictions between the tribes plus local contradictions, The whole somali political scene is a miasma of smoke.
At that time, the Somali president was just a decoration, this cargo mixture was not as good as the pseudo-Manchukuo Kant Emperor had a sense of existence, Somalia was so chaotic, after 9 years, until 1969, there was a general named Siad Bare turned out, to tell the truth, the soldiers were not in the eyes of sand, they still did things reliably, when the Somali president was assassinated, this matter directly stimulated Barre, you gang goods are enough, no, the country is not what you do, so Barre does not do it, two, He didn't move the gourd and sprinkle oil, he carried out a military coup, the military was still relatively sharp, the military coup was successful, Barre not only got the power, he also dissolved all these political parties and congresses, directly to the roots of these goods, I see that you will make a hammer in the future, and also suppress all the tribal armed forces, you are a dragon, you give me a coil, you are a tiger, you lie down for me, you have to beat me if you disobey me.
So Barre became the president of Somalia, Barre went to Italy to study the military in his early years, you think about how unreliable this thing is, study the military, you go to Italy, it's like you learn to play football to come to China, and the Italians learn to fight, you know, this goods, the military level at what level, can not take the hand to scare and frighten themselves, the people of the country is still more than enough, launching a war abroad is really not enough to see, where in the African military coup, it was commonplace, even the headlines can not be on, You don't engage in a coup d'état, this is cheating, become president, that is, build a house by the sea, and surf home.
Later, Barre engaged in dictatorship and corruption, willfulness, full of mouth cannons and so on, Barre is also a warlord, but this warlord is not the same as other warlords, he is a warlord with a lot of ideas, after all, he has read books in foreign countries, there are still goods in his head, he wants to turn Somalia into a reliable country, just now Somalia this shape, if you learn Western democracy, that is nonsense, Westerners are full of bad water in their stomachs, this I know too well, so he announced to the whole country in 1970, Somalia wants to build scientific socialism, take the road of the Soviet Union, take the initiative to move closer to the Soviet Union, it was the time when the Two Sides of the Cold War were competing, the United States was more depressed, he was deeply involved in the quagmire of the Vietnam War, he could not pull out his legs at all, and the Soviet Union at that time, it was during the Brezhnev administration, the Soviet Union at that time was mixed up in the wind and water, was engaged in global expansion, the world's small brothers, Somalia's important geographical location, so that the Soviets coveted Ah Barre, but also frequently threw flattering eyes to the Soviets, so the two families hit it off. The Soviet forces successfully entered, the Horn of Africa Somalia, Barre finally hugged, the thighs of the Soviet big brother, the Soviet big brother to the newly acquired little brother is not ambiguous, should play money, the aid aid, Barre a look, the big brother is so exquisite, I should show loyalty when I should show loyalty, so in the major cities of Somalia, especially the capital Mogadishu, as long as the walls are all painted with red paint, written with pro-Soviet slogans, but also hung with portraits of Lenin, Stalin and Brezhnev, The whole city is full of photos, and the whole is also high-end and atmospheric, completely unlike an indigenous African country.
The big brother of the Soviet Union saw that the little brother was so sensible, so in 1974 and Somalia signed a treaty of friendship and mutual assistance, the Soviets still played his old routine, the Soviet Union provided a large number of industrial products for Somalia, but also helped Somalia to build infrastructure, and also sent more than 3,000, military advisers and technical experts, the Soviets so engaged, Somalia immediately entered a period of rapid development, when the Focus of Soviet assistance, or on the military, you Somali people can not eat, this matter I do not care, I only care, if one day, the Soviet forces and the American forces, in East Africa, the war, you Somalia to get started, you can not just know to eat, do not know to work, do not do anything, I raise you a bird, at that time the Soviet Union for Somalia to provide a lot of modern weapons and equipment, like MiG 17 fighters, Special 62 tanks, and Il-28 bombers, these weapons in that year that were so advanced, so that we were DC saliva at that time, when we worked hard, fished out a T62 tank from the Ussuri River, Engaged in research, Somalia effortlessly got a lot of assistance from the Soviet Union, as long as you Somalia to the Soviets to knock one, and recognize him as a big brother, the Soviets want what you want to give you, so originally can only rely on riding camels and sabers, fighting with people, the Somali army, overnight shotgun for artillery, relying on the help of the Soviet big brother, Barre's regime is completely stable, he has now become East Africa, the most beautiful boy on this street, with the Soviet big brother covered, he will completely let go of himself, The Barre Somali state carried out drastic reforms, first of all, eliminating the tribal identity of the Somali people, greatly weakening the power of the tribes, confiscating foreign capital enterprises, and inventing the Somali script, which was only language and no writing in Somalia.
At the same time, he also forced that Somali teenagers must go back to school to study, and he constantly attacked this tribalism on the radio and in the press, saying that this thing is the source of poverty for Somalis, and if we engage in this thing again, Somalia will one day become a primitive society, and at that time, we Somalis can only race with lions, grab grass with zebras, and grab food with monkeys.
And Barre also replaced the mosque with grass-roots organizations, strengthened the Somali people's sense of identity with the country, so under the leadership of Barre's brother, Somalia is moving rapidly towards a modern country, when the somali economy development momentum is also very strong, the people also began to have enough food, by the end of the 70s, Somalia has become a small bully in East Africa, really a pear blossom pressure begonia, the surrounding countries only envy and hatred, especially the Somali army, that is the same Soviet equipment, People look at it with a twinkle in the eye, the Soviet Union has not invested money in the somali pit for so many years, and in these years, the accumulated military assistance alone has reached 164 million US dollars. At that time, the Somali army had only tens of thousands of people, so that the Somali army, whether in weapons and equipment, or in the training of personnel were far ahead of the neighboring countries, Somalia was definitely a model and pacesetter for Soviet foreign aid.
At this time, Barre is completely drifting, I am so powerful, should I have some idea, this idea has made Barre and Somalia all pit, his idea is to use military troops abroad, that is, Ethiopia, Somalia and Ethiopia, this war has become one of the funniest wars in human history, in this war, only you can't think, there is no two countries can not do, and this war, the United States and the Soviet Union, the two superpowers have all been deviated.
