Chapter 117 Debt Settlement
Although Alexander was Ukrainian, he had lived through the Soviet era and knew what conviction was.
Although most Libyans do not know why they are alive.
It's still possible to select tens of thousands of people with conviction from over four million.
Unlike mercenaries who are only responsible for security in the mining area, the Libyan army also undertakes some patrol duties to maintain order in the Simandou region.
A week ago, a platoon of Libyan soldiers in three armored vehicles was ambushed by anti-government forces while on patrol.
An armored vehicle was destroyed by a bomb planted by anti-government forces, killing all four people inside.
Another armored vehicle was hit by a rocket launcher used by anti-government forces, resulting in severe damage to the vehicle, one death, and two serious injuries.
The remaining five Libyan soldiers held out for a full 30 minutes against a frenzied attack by hundreds of anti-government militants until reinforcements arrived, with only three surviving.
Enraged, Tariq dispatched attack helicopters and used rockets to raze the anti-government camp to the ground.
Since then, anti-government forces have disappeared from the Simandou region.
Thanks to the Libyan army's swift action, the damage in the Simandou region was not severe.
The regions most severely damaged by the civil war have been completely transformed into hell on earth.
Bobo produced a program claiming that millions of people have died in Guinea due to civil war and genocide.
The exact number of deaths is impossible to determine because previous Guinean governments, like the Libyan government, never conducted accurate population statistics.
This isn't just a problem in Guinea and Libya; it's the same all over Africa—the situation is quite uniform.
Thanks to the swift action of the Guinean government forces, social order in the densely populated western coastal areas was quickly stabilized, and anti-government forces retreated inland to continue their resistance.
Similar to Guinea, the Malian anti-government forces suffered heavy losses and were repeatedly defeated under the joint attack of the French and Malian armies.
Just as the situations in Guinea and Mali were rapidly improving, on February 4, clashes broke out between Guinean and Malian troops on the Guinean-Mali border.
Under continuous attacks from the Franco-Malian coalition, some Malian rebels fled into Guinea, where they formed several rebel camps.
On February 1, French forces deployed Rafale fighter jets to strike Malian rebel camps in Guinea.
The action itself is perfectly justifiable.
However, a Guinean army transport convoy was also bombed by Rafale fighter jets, resulting in more than 20 Guinean soldiers being killed or wounded.
The Guinean government subsequently protested to France, demanding that French forces cease bombing Guinea and compensate the Guinean army for the losses caused by the bombing.
France ignored it.
On the 4th, a Malian army unit, under the pretext of fighting rebels, crossed the Malian-Guinean border into Guinea and engaged in combat, resulting in a serious conflict with the Guinean army.
Qin Rui was not surprised at all.
Although there is no evidence, everyone knows that the Guinean civil war was inextricably linked to France.
With the Guinean rebels on the verge of being wiped out, the French army will certainly intervene directly to prevent the Guinean government forces from suppressing the rebellion.
The Guinean government exercised restraint, refraining from immediately declaring war on Mali. Instead, it called on the United Nations to intervene and prevent a war between Guinea and Mali.
Before the UN Security Council could even convene to discuss the issues of Guinea and Mali, ECOWAS suddenly jumped in, accusing the Guinean government of orchestrating the genocide in Guinea.
Qin Rui's horizons were broadened.
The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) was established in 1975 and is headquartered in Abuja, Nigeria. Its aim is to strengthen regional integration and promote development and cooperation among member states in political, economic, social and cultural fields.
ECOWAS hopes that the United Nations will send peacekeeping troops to Guinea, while also demanding that the UN impose military sanctions on Guinea to reduce the flow of weapons and ammunition into Guinea and prevent the civil war in Guinea from escalating further.
The bias in this stance is quite obvious.
While ECOWAS issued its statement, several international organizations, including the African Union, called on all parties in Guinea to resolve the conflict through negotiations and urged the international community to increase its aid to Guinea to prevent a serious humanitarian disaster.
Suma reacted swiftly, withdrawing from ECOWAS and accepting aid only from friendly countries.
For example, Libya.
Since the outbreak of the civil war in Guinea, Libya has donated supplies, including food and medicine, to Guinea on multiple occasions, with a total value of tens of millions of US dollars.
East Asia also donated a large amount of supplies to Guinea and sent a medical team to Guinea.
Western countries, led by Britain and the United States, have made no statement regarding Guinea.
To Qin Rui's relief, the United States vetoed the UN's military sanctions against Guinea.
East Asia, Britain, and Russia all abstained from voting.
The Russian representative suggested forming an investigation team to go to Guinea to investigate whether the Guinean government was involved in the genocide.
The suggestion was rejected outright by the UK.
The United States' proposal to send peacekeeping troops to Guinea was vetoed by France.
Qin Rui was already used to unpredictable actions. Regardless of whether the United Nations imposed sanctions on Guinea, the risk of war breaking out again increased as the ceasefire deadline in Libya and Chad approached.
The Chadian government has offered to extend the ceasefire for another 100 days.
In an interview with CNR International, Yuri stated that if the Chad government does not fully recognize its mistakes, compensate for the losses caused to Libya by the war, and return the illegally occupied Libyan territories to Libya, the Libyan army will use all means to safeguard Libya's interests.
All other requirements are negotiable.
The return of territory is something the Chad government will never accept under any circumstances.
Yuri's stance was clear: if the Chad government did not return the Tibesti Mountains, which it had illegally occupied through the Funy War, to Libya, Libya would resume its offensive once the ceasefire expired.
"The ownership of the Tibesti Mountains has long been clearly defined, and there is no territorial dispute. Tripoli's demands are illegal, and the people of Chad will never accept them!"
In an interview with Bobby, Idris Debby declared that Chad would fight to the end.
The Louvre issued a statement supporting the Chad government and people, and vowing to resolutely counter the Libyan invasion in order to protect Chad's interests.
In an interview, Obama said he would mediate the conflict between Libya and Chad at the appropriate time.
As for when is the right time?
Obama didn't say.
East Asia: We urge all parties to remain calm —
On February 9, Libyan forces used drones to destroy a Chad army artillery position and a Chad towed artillery piece.
Chad's forces held their ground and did not launch an offensive against the Libyan army, hoping to wait and exhaust the Libyan forces.
This is destined to be wishful thinking; Libya will not deploy ground troops if the problem can be solved with bombs.
During the ceasefire, Libya accumulated nearly a thousand precision-guided bombs, enough to give Chad's army a run for its money.
While using expensive precision-guided bombs to strike Chad's low-value targets would be somewhat wasteful.
These costs will ultimately be borne entirely by the Chad army.
No money? No problem. You can use territory to pay off your debts.
