Rebirth of the Evil Life

Libyan Gaddafi and South African President Mbeki signed a labor export agreement, agreeing that South Africa will export 100,000 workers to Libya to help Libya carry out social infrastructure projects.

The African continent is applauding this agreement. Libya is very wealthy and is the richest country in Africa. Although it has been subject to economic sanctions and a comprehensive blockade by the United States in recent years, the living standards of Libyan citizens are still among the top in Africa. It is second only to South Africa. But in fact, the gap between the rich and the poor in South Africa is huge. In terms of the average national level, it is far inferior to Libya.

Under the initiative and leadership of Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi, all education and medical expenses in Libya are free, and basic living supplies are fully subsidized by the state. Water, electricity, gas, gasoline, flour, etc. are ridiculously cheap. About water, electricity, Damn, Libyan people generally spend no more than 50 yuan a month on these things. Of course, that’s all. The state also pays residents money.

Yes, just give out money. It is approximately 100 dinars per person per month for each family, and 350 dinars per household. Under normal circumstances, 1 dinar is equivalent to about RMB 5.2, which covers all basic needs. Therefore, the Libyans may be spoiled by this kind of life, or it may be the nature of the Arabs. People are extremely lazy, and they are the laziest group of Arabs. They hang out on the street for hours with a cup of coffee, and when they start chatting, they talk endless nonsense. The bigger the talk, the bigger the talk. . .

Therefore, many foreign companies in Libya recruit mostly foreigners. On the contrary, natives constitute a very small minority. After all, for a nation whose citizens can have enough food for their whole family without having to work, and whose life, old age, illness and death are all managed by the state, it is obviously unrealistic to ask them to work with peace of mind and endure hardships. Except for jobs with good pay and leisurely work, you rarely see Libyans working. Unless you offer an extremely high salary that the lazy Libyans cannot refuse.

The current agreement between Libya and South Africa not only allows African countries to see that the South African government has solved the employment problem of 100,000 poor workers, but also allows African countries to see the hope of cooperation with Libya. Before this. The US government's blockade of Libya. It makes African countries dare not cooperate with Libya at all. Even if the United States now announces that it has lifted the ban, everyone with a discerning eye knows that the U.S. government is currently helpless. In order to solve the Iraqi problem, they need Libya to open its airspace so that its various fighter jets and transport aircraft can fly unimpeded.

But what about after the Iraq War ends and the US withdraws its troops? Will we use force against Libya? If we are on good terms with Libya now, African countries like them will not be able to bear it if the United States turns against it in the future. Unlike European countries, they have established diplomatic relations with Libya now. If they announce the severance of diplomatic relations in the future, the US government will not dare to say anything. Instead, they will applaud. This is the confidence of European countries. African countries do not have this confidence. There is no need for the United States to beat them. As long as the United States government just says that this country supports anti-terrorism, it is enough to plunge an African country into a desperate situation with no one to help it.

But now, the South African government, the leading country in Africa, has taken the lead in establishing diplomatic relations with Libya and reached a friendly cooperation agreement, which naturally makes those African countries feel relieved. Even the South African government dares to do this. This shows that Libya may have really reconciled with the United States this time. Naturally, they cannot miss this opportunity to establish diplomatic relations with Libya. At the moment, there are several countries close to Libya. He immediately offered an olive branch to Gaddafi and asked the two sides to establish diplomatic relations, trade and establish good and friendly neighborly relations. Among these countries, Nigeria is particularly close to Libya.

Nigeria is located in west-central Africa and is a landlocked country on the southern edge of the Sahara Desert.

It is one of the least developed countries (lowly developed countries) in the world. GDP per capita is only US$300. It is a very poor country. And because of its close proximity to Libya, the Nigerian citizens are extremely envious of the Libyan citizens' leisurely life of wandering on the streets and sunbathing on the balcony. They work hard for a year and don't have enough to eat, while the Libyan side is so leisurely that they have nothing to do every day. The gap is outrageous.

According to the Human Development Index published by the United Nations Development Program in the 2005 Human Development Report, Nigeria ranks 186th, ranking first from the bottom. The national telephone penetration rate is 1 per 1,000 households. There are 719 hospitals and clinics nationwide, including 3 national hospitals, 5 provincial hospitals, and 213 private clinics. On average, there is one doctor for every 25,000 people, one nurse for every 9,000 people, and one hospital bed for every 3,000 people. The national medical coverage rate is 70%, and the sanitary drinking water coverage rate is only 46%. In 2004, the birth rate was 41.4‰, the death rate was 25.9‰, the infant mortality rate was 15.2%, and the average life expectancy was 44.6 years. The main diseases are: meningitis, polio, malaria, cholera, etc.

A long time ago, Nigeria planned to cooperate with Libya. However, due to the relationship between Libya and the United States, Nigeria was unable to do so. But now that South Africa has started, Nigeria can confidently and boldly cooperate with Libya. For Gaddafi, the country is already engaged in large-scale civil construction projects and needs more migrant workers. Although there are currently workers from China and workers from South Africa, the total number has reached 200,000. The amount of the project is already huge, but for Gaddafi, he can afford to support more people. . Libya's oil wealth is enough to support his huge civil construction projects.

For Gaddafi, it is also a good thing to reach a good cooperative relationship and even a beneficial relationship with Africa. The more workers from various countries are in Libya, the United States will have concerns if it wants to attack Libya in the future and will give it a large buffer time. This will allow the U.S. government to use a defensive weapon and prevent the U.S. government from launching a direct bomb attack too wantonly.

Of course, Nepal took the lead, followed closely by other countries. Anyway, even if there is no labor export, we can still cooperate in some other aspects. In Africa, the geographical location of each country is different, which leads to different crops and various industrial products in each country. Therefore, there is great possibility of cooperation between countries.

Libya, on the other hand, lacks almost everything except oil and natural gas, which is U.S. dollars. Therefore, Gaddafi became Africa's largest buyer. At the same time, it has become Africa’s largest financial financier. African leaders, not to mention fawning over Gaddafi, at least try to please Gaddafi. They no longer treat Gaddafi like a lunatic as before.

What is currently happening in Africa is what Secretary Rice least wants to see. If Africa is really tied up, it will greatly harm the interests of the United States. Africa has the richest mineral resources in the world, as well as oil resources second only to the Middle East and natural gas resources second only to Russia. In the past, due to the joint suppression of developed countries in the West, the "scissors gap" became the dominant trade between the two sides, allowing Western countries to enjoy the fruits of the transactions between the two sides.

But now, African countries are tied together. Although Western countries can still have the upper hand in terms of trade, it can be expected that in the future, they will never be able to get what they want as before. Moreover, once the African Union is really established and an organization like OPEC is formed, that will be the real big trouble for Western countries.

In Rice's view, the only source of the current trouble is naturally Lin Feng. Without the cooperation between Lin Feng and Gaddafi, and without Lin Feng taking the lead in linking Libya and South Africa, it would have been impossible for Libya to cooperate with South Africa. Without the cooperation between Libya and South Africa, which has the highest per capita living standards in Africa and the cooperation with the two most economically developed countries, it would be impossible for other African countries to cooperate with Libya. Therefore, without Lin Feng, the current large-scale trade phenomenon in Africa would not have occurred.

Rice, I hate Lin Feng. Disgusting. She hated the Chinese who brought huge trouble to her job and American interests. So, she called Lin Feng.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, I am US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice." Rice coldly called Lin Feng and introduced herself. She knew Lin Feng very well and knew that this guy liked to pretend to be ignorant. If she didn't introduce her title and full name, Lin Feng might just hang up the phone. For Lin Feng, this is entirely possible. He can keep hanging up on himself by saying he doesn't know who he is.

Therefore, Rice would never give Lin Feng a chance to hang up the phone easily.

Secretary Rice! Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. Lin Feng had anticipated that the United States might cause trouble for him. But I didn't expect that Rice, the US Secretary of State, would call him so early, and in person. This was a bit beyond Lin Feng's expectations. And this woman has always been known for her bold and pungent remarks. It seemed that there was definitely no good thing happening when she called herself this time.

"Haha, hello, Secretary Rice. I feel so honored. I didn't expect you to call me in person. Do you have anything good to tell me?" Lin Feng said with a smile.

Rice snorted coldly.

"Mr. Lin, there are good things. But it is also possible that the good things will turn into bad things." Secretary of State Rice said coldly.

"Oh, a good thing turned into a bad thing, let's talk about it!" Lin Feng asked with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, I hope you will stop interfering in African affairs, or to put it bluntly, I hope you will stop interfering in Libyan affairs! Otherwise, you will lose more than you gain! What you gain in Libya may be far less than what you lose. Something!" Rice said coldly. (To be continued...)
