Chapter 764: None of you should think about it
Look at the current situation of the Peninsula Hotel, the side that was bombed was very close to the room they rented in Muyang, and even some rooms had been blown up in this explosion, if they were in the house at the time, they would probably have been killed or injured.
The people in the embassy felt scared when they thought about it, and at the same time they felt lucky, if Mu Yang hadn't urgently called everyone downstairs, maybe they would really die this time, but people also wondered how Mu Yang knew that there was danger.
According to later statistics, a total of 18 people were killed and 35 injured in the bombing, including 20 local passers-by in Mogadishu, as well as hotel security and service personnel, and three other embassy personnel were killed or wounded.
The Somali bombing was reported by the media for the first time, and some media even posted photos of the "Peninsula Palace" hotel after it was blown up, and there were also some photos of the explosion, and the huge column of smoke in the photos showed how powerful it was at that time.
Foreign ministries of various countries have condemned the terrorists who caused the car bomb attack, and China also solemnly condemned the dehumanizing behavior of the terrorists at its regular press conference, and also expressed condolences to the victims of the bombing.
When asked about the Chinese embassy staff, the spokesman said that the Chinese embassy staff were not injured in the car bomb attack, but the embassy, which was scheduled to reopen on May 1, had to be postponed.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was asked whether it would affect the resumption of China's embassy in Somalia.
The spokesman said that in view of the situation in Somalia. The Chinese government is reconsidering the possibility of reinstating the embassy in Somalia, which is still inconclusive.
I have to say. The bombing has cast another shadow over the diplomatic relations between China and Somalia.
Subsequently, some bomb experts analyzed that judging by the consequences of this bomb attack, the amount of bomb explosives contained in that car would definitely not be less than one ton. This may be the largest of all the bombings in Mogadishu.
Just when the outside world was reporting on this incident, the "Al-Shabaab" stood up. Claiming responsibility for the incident, the car bomb attack, was organized and planned by them and carried out by a warrior who gave his body and mind to the Lord. It is to retaliate against the African Union's encirclement and suppression of Al-Shabaab. and retaliatory actions taken.
In this regard, the outside world has criticized Al-Shabaab's behavior, and the United States has also stood up, saying that in 2012, the United States has listed the "Somali Al-Shabaab" as a terrorist organization, and they are also deeply involved with al-Qaeda, and even suspect that they have joined the ranks of al-Qaeda.
What should I do now, Muyang also asked for instructions in China. Vice Minister Guo told him that China is indeed considering the issue of reopening the embassy. Since the safety of embassy personnel could not be guaranteed, the country considered whether to send a peacekeeping force to Somalia before resuming embassy operations.
Vice Minister Guo also told Muyang that there is likely to be a deeper reason for this terrorist attack, which is also one of the reasons why the domestic leaders temporarily called a halt.
Previously, China and the Somali government had agreed on sending peacekeeping troops and warships, but this touched the interests of some people, especially the United States.
The United States does not want real peace in Somalia right now, they need a chaotic Somalia, and the reason is nothing more than not wanting Africa to become strong.
Moreover, the Americans are happy to see China's progress in Africa, and the Americans are behind the support of certain rebels, in fact, everyone knows this, don't look at him standing up and saying that the "Al-Shabaab" is listed as a terrorist organization, but they are secretly supporting these terrorist organizations, guiding them to develop in the direction they want, and even ordering them to do some things that the Americans want to do.
Although the "Al-Shabaab" claimed that it was a retaliatory action taken by the African Union in retaliation for the African Union's encirclement and suppression of the Al-Shabaab, China believes that the bombing was probably aimed at the Chinese Embassy.
"Minister, what should we do now?" Muyang asked.
"You first find a safe place to stabilize, and wait for the results of domestic research to come out, and then prepare for the next step." Minister Guo said.
The leaders are still researching, the Peninsula Palace Hotel has been temporarily closed, Muyang and they now urgently need to find a place to stay, and after communicating with the Somali government, they finally chose to live in a two-story building only 500 meters away from the Somali airport.
This was originally one of the places they inspected in Muyang, in fact, it was also good as an embassy, it was in the sphere of influence of the government army, and there were no buildings on both sides, but because of the need to invest more security forces, they finally chose the Peninsula Palace Hotel.
Packed up the things in the Peninsula Hotel, some of them were damaged, they picked up what they could use, moved them all to the small building, cleaned up the place again, and stayed for a while.
"Team leader, what should we do?" Zheng Yunliang asked.
"The leaders are still working on it, but I think we can't stop, and the restoration of the embassy is inevitable, so we'd better make preliminary preparations." Muyang Road.
"Does the embassy location need to be replanned?" Zheng Yunliang asked.
"I think it's here, isn't this also one of the places we inspected before, it's a good location, only 500 meters from the airport, only 1500 meters from the Somali government building, independent small building, and a big yard in front and back. At the Peninsula Palace Hotel, it is just a transition, and in the end it is necessary to choose an independent office space, this time we will not make the transition, and directly establish our own embassy. ”
"Arrange this place first, and later, discuss with the Somali government to install anti-collision isolation piers on both sides of this section of the road to expand the safety area, then this place is stronger than the Peninsula Hotel." Muyang Road.
"But we don't have enough people, especially the security guards." Zheng Yunliang said worriedly.
"Don't worry, there will be manpower." Mu Yang said with a smile.
Now the resumption ceremony has been stopped due to the explosion, and the country is still studying the countermeasures of the heart, and Muyang They are only short-term rentals, so the renovation is only a very small scope, the main thing is to simply clean up here, and Zheng Yunliang is enough to be busy with these work.
As soon as Muyang was free, she began to receive several calls from China, the first one was from his wife Xu Youshan, Shanshan cried on the phone, she was really afraid that Muyang would be in danger, and Muyang persuaded her for a while.
Then it was a call from his father Mu Shouli, a call from his uncle, and in the end, his grandfather also made a call to Muyang.
Grandpa is old, but his body is still quite tough, he told Muyang that the difficulties are not terrible, persevere, and the career he is doing now is to lay the foundation for the whole country.
Mu Yang sat in the courtyard, his fingers tapping his thighs and knees, thinking about things. Americans, Vice Minister Guo said that this time it may have been done by Americans, Mu Yang analyzed, there is really a shadow of Americans here.
However, Muyang's current target is the Shabaab, because those guys have admitted that they did it.
I've been working hard for almost a month, and you've ruined me.
Make me uncomfortable, don't think about it, brother has nothing to do now, so let's find your trouble. (To be continued.) )
