Chapter 90 Mogadishu Riot (2)

The news in the newspapers made Somalis feel dissatisfied and helpless, but Somalis also have demands. Soon after the news broke, some Somalis gathered outside the gate of the UN safe zone, hoping that the personnel of the US investigation team would come out and explain to them why the distribution of relief food should be favored. In addition, the guards at the gate did not understand Arabic, so there was some friction in the communication between the two parties.

Seeing this situation, the Somali people present slowly gathered together, as more and more people watched. The officers and soldiers of the peacekeeping force in the UN safe zone began to get a little nervous. An officer in charge of the scene began calling his superiors to request an interpreter.

"Okay, I will send an interpreter, but the convoy of the Friendship Africa Foundation is blocking our main road leading to the outside world, you better let those Somalis outside the door get out of the way, or all of today's Don't even think about getting out of the vehicle!" The official of the safety zone command replied.

"Isn't there another exit to the south?" Why didn't the convoy of the Friendship Africa Foundation go in another direction and go out there? "The on-site commander asked back.

"These idiots hired at least a hundred trucks, and even blocked every exit!" The command replied.

"Okay, I get it, I'll evacuate their convoy now!" After the on-site commander finished speaking, he left the sentry post and went outside to call his subordinates to clear the way for the convoy.

The soldiers of the United Nations peacekeeping force began to signal the Somalis on the scene to get out of the way. They opened the gate and the barricades at the gate, and let the trucks that had been waiting for a long time in the safe zone start to let out little by little. Seeing that the food convoy was about to leave the safe zone again, the Somalis were even more excited. They desperately stopped the truck and prevented it from going any further.

"Why are you so kind to Ethiopians? Isn't the life of our Somalis our life?"

"You can't take all the food away, my child is almost starving to death!"

"Aren't you here for disaster relief? We are the victims of the disaster, why don't you send us food?"

...

The Somalis present were all poor people who had heard the news early in the morning. They stretched out their hands and prayed for the convoy to stop and give them some food. They hugged their miserable faces with pleading expressions. Hunger has already made them lose their dignity. Apart from here, they don't know where else they can get food.

"Who is your person in charge? The situation is not good today! Why don't you give some food to the onlookers here?" The commander at the scene saw that the situation was not good, and he didn't want any trouble, so he advised Youai The folks at the Africa Foundation keep quiet.

"We also followed the instructions from above.

We can't be the master of this kind of thing, you know, those of us just found this job yesterday! "The truck driver replied helplessly.

"Then call your people who can call the shots!" the commander replied.

...

It is completely different from the situation of procrastinating in front of the safe zone. In the safe zone, Colvin and his colleagues are checking their inventory and account information in the office building of the Friendly Africa Foundation. Schiff and others were ordered to hand over all the documents. And the boss from Italy has not yet shown up, which made Chebyshev, who had never seen such a posture, feel Alexander.

"Can you show me your warehouse? I want to see how much food you have left for the victims here?" Zoe walked up to Chebyshev and said in a suspicious and questioning tone.

"I...I...I think it's better to wait until our person in charge arrives. He came from Italy, and he may still be on the way, so..." Chebyshev calmly dealt with it when he first arrived in Somalia Because of the kidnapping incident, he was promoted to be the temporary person in charge here. However, Italy seemed to have forgotten the existence of these people. Chebyshev didn't dare to agree, because the person in charge sent by Nikolai hasn't arrived here yet?

"Do you think anyone can stop us? Friendly Africa is a charitable organization registered in the United States. We have search warrants approved by Congress and the Supreme Court. Please cooperate with us!"

"Zoe, what's the matter!" Zooey was making a request to Chebyshev, when Colvin came over and asked with concern.

"Mr. Colvin, I want to go and see the warehouse of the Friendship Africa Foundation!" Zoe replied bluntly.

"Sir, we are entrusted by the United States of America to come all the way here to investigate you, please cooperate with our work, do you still need me to show our search warrant?" Ke Wen asked bluntly road.

Chebyshev couldn't take it anymore, and he had done his best to stop the American investigation. He felt that with this kind of performance, it should be acceptable to the Gorky Brotherhood and Nikolai. Chebyshev gritted his teeth and said with difficulty: "Okay, please come with me!"

Chebyshev knew very well that only one of the warehouses of the Fraternity Africa Foundation in the storage and transportation center contained grains, and these grains were either moldy or had become like sand because they had been stored for too long. Even if this kind of grain is used as feed, no one will want it. Even in the Soviet Union, these grains can only be poured into the fields as fertilizer.

Chebyshev asked his subordinates to wait obediently in the office building, and he was taken into the car by the investigation team. Zoe and Colvin also sat in the same car as Chebyshev. On the way to the grain depot, Zoe saw many soldiers of the United Nations peacekeeping force with live ammunition standing on the road, wearing blue berets.

"What happened?" Zooey asked the driver alertly.

"It's nothing, I heard that the Somalis are dissatisfied with the food we sent to the Ethiopians, and some people are making trouble outside the safe zone!" the driver replied.

"Is nothing going to happen?" Zoe asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, there is a Pakistani mountain group in the safe zone. These Somalis don't even have guns. Besides, we are here to rescue them. How could they hurt us?" the driver said indifferently.

The convoy drove all the way to the warehouse of the storage and transportation center. Chebyshev first took them to the warehouse with grain, so that they could delay for a while. As soon as the door of the warehouse was opened, a disgusting musty smell wafted through his nostrils, and Colvin almost vomited from the smell. Zoe and Jimmy began to record everything they saw with their cameras.

"Why would you give this kind of food to people, you..." Zooey was about to question Chebyshev, when suddenly there was a clear gunshot from a distance.

"Da da da..." Outside the gate of the safe zone, the flames from machine guns mercilessly devoured the lives of starving Somali people.
