Rebirth of the Evil Life

Chapter 4379 Paris Club

Minister Teshome looked embarrassed. If he hadn't stopped him, he wouldn't have come to Lin Feng. It was precisely because he tried to stop it but it had no effect that he had to come to Lin Feng.

Initially, he went to the police. But if the police were useful, Ethiopia would not be so chaotic. In Ethiopia, the salary of a civil servant ranges from 200 birr to 1,200 birr. Converted based on the current ratio of 1:20, that is between US$10 and US$60. When a police officer's monthly salary is between US$10 and US$60, you can imagine how efficient the police are. Calculated based on the maximum salary, it’s only 60 US dollars a month. What can I do?

No matter how low prices are in Ethiopia, these 60 US dollars are enough for them to survive alone for a month. As for supporting the family, don’t think too much about it. That is absolutely impossible. What's more, the salary of most police officers is only about $30. With such a low salary, I can barely keep myself from starving to death. Is it possible for you to ask them to go to great lengths to catch the thief? It just barely maintains order and prevents ordinary people from causing trouble. As for fighting gangs, there is no need to talk about it.

What's more, these gangs will give these policemen a benefit fee every month, so that these policemen can sit in the police station every day, drink water, chat, and not go out to mind their own business. Under such circumstances, how could the police drive out these gangsters entrenched in 50,000 public toilets?

Of course, Minister Teshome also controls the mobilization of the army. But the policeman was bribed and raped. Isn’t it true that the army is not corrupt or bribed? The answer is the same. Ordinary soldiers in the army are miserable. Just barely enough to eat. No one is going to buy some big guns. But those officers are different. Most of them are well fed and fed. In Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, there are many wealthy areas with beautifully built houses, many of which belong to senior military officials. Where does their money come from?

The Ethiopian government is very poor and their money can only come from **. Otherwise don’t even think about buying a modern residence in Addis Ababa. Therefore, it is almost impossible to mobilize the army to eradicate those gang members. I'm afraid the army here has just moved. The gangsters over there heard the news and fled. Of course, this is still an ideal situation. In fact, these gangsters have to pay taxes every month. Of course, they pay taxes not to the Ethiopian government, but to certain individuals. And these individuals are naturally Ethiopian government officials. They either hold high positions or form cliques. Teams are formed within the Ethiopian government.

Minister Teshome wants to clean up gang forces across the country, and that is to go against officials across the country. At that time, he will only have one end, to go to the wild. Even if he has been designated as the next president, the outcome will be the same. Even if he is now the president, if he wants to confront government officials across the country, I am afraid he will have no choice but to step down. so. Minister Teshome had no choice but to come to Lin Feng.

"Are your police so useless?" Lin Feng asked.

Minister Teshome smiled awkwardly.

“Your country is really ****,

So dark. This makes me a little afraid of investing here. "Lin Feng sighed. Of course, these words were said against his will. What Lin Feng is not afraid of the most is this kind of ** country. On the contrary, what Lin Feng is most afraid of is those countries with strict laws and transparent social systems. Of course. It's easy to do things in such a country, as long as everything is done according to formal procedures. However, it is obviously not as good as this kind of ** country.

It's just that Lin Feng is a little confused about how the country in Ethiopia can be maintained if it is so poor.

Minister Teshome was very embarrassed by Lin Feng's question. This question pointed directly at the darkest inside story of the Ethiopian government. This was a completely shameful and dark anecdote. Originally, Minister Teshome did not want to say it. But for Lin Feng, he could only say it. Otherwise, if Lin Feng withdraws his investment, Ethiopia will be embarrassed. Lam Feng invested in building 50,000 public toilets to serve Ethiopia’s 100 million people. As a result, it was occupied by the gang and became its headquarters. This is really going to make the outside world laugh to death. He laughs at the incompetence of the Ethiopian government for not being able to solve the gangs, and also laughs at the unlimited limits of the Ethiopian gangs.

It was probably the first time that a gangster actually occupied a public toilet. In the eyes of an organization like the Mafia, this kind of behavior is probably a big joke. Therefore, Minister Teshome could only explain to Lin Feng, hoping that Lin Feng would not really divest.

"Mr. Lin, the Ethiopian government can obtain nearly 1 billion U.S. dollars in loans from the Paris Club every year and nearly half of the debt relief agreement. This is the reason why Ethiopia has been able to survive." Minister Teshome said in a low voice.

This reason is very embarrassing and makes him a bit shameful.

The so-called Paris Club is an international informal organization founded in 1956. It is currently composed of 19 of the world's richest countries and specializes in providing debt arrangements for debtor and creditor countries, such as debt restructuring, debt forgiveness, and even debt cancellation. If the debt problem cannot be improved after repeated efforts, the indebted country is usually assisted by a loan from the International Monetary Fund and the Paris Club. From 1983 to March 2005, agreements reached by the Paris Club involved a debt amount of US$427 billion.

In 1956 Argentina issued a warning to the international community: it was no longer able to repay its debts. The difficulty lies in the fact that there are too many banks and other creditor institutions claiming the debt, making bilateral negotiations impossible. Hence the idea of ​​establishing a coordinating body. Due to the emergency, a temporary meeting was held in France. A few months after Argentina's military coup, it quickly came to power and proposed to Argentina's new president that he go to France to discuss borrowing methods that would allow his country to enter the International Monetary Fund. At that time, the main creditor countries of Buenos Aires were present under the sponsorship of the French minister. From then on, the name of the Paris Club was retained and the habit of meeting in the French capital was fixed. Thus the Paris Club was born in a humble way, a simple informal innovation that never led to the signing of an international judicial treaty. An institution established informally, known to everyone, and with which poor countries have had long dealings.

Ethiopia is one of the beneficiary countries of the Paris Club. As for why the Paris Club has been funding poor countries like Ethiopia and also providing debt relief, in addition to the humanitarian spirit, it is also about maintaining the interests of these developed countries.

First of all, although these poor countries are poor, it is because they have problems with their own government systems and national development. But the country still has rich mineral resources, and once they are all developed, the debt can be offset. Therefore, the Paris Club is willing to borrow money. Of course, there are also countries like Ethiopia that are unable to develop at all, and their debts are increasing. The country is simply insolvent.

For such a country, the reason why the Paris Club still supports Ethiopia is its unique geographical location. First of all, Ethiopia has a population of nearly 100 million, which is a populous country in Africa. Once funding is stopped, given Ethiopia's current government operation model and status, I am afraid that in a short period of time, widespread starvation or death from disease will occur across the country. 90% of Ethiopia's population will die from famine and disease. This is the assessment made by the United Nations Health, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

Once there is such a large area of ​​starvation or disease death, considering the geographical environment of Ethiopia, a country known as a "sunburnt place", the plague will be rampant. Ethiopia is a country rich in water resources, with dense lakes in the country. At the same time, there is also a Kai Nile River that runs through several African countries. Once the plague spreads, the Kai Nile River will no longer be called a drinking water source for humans. African countries will be affected.

Most countries in Africa are short of water, so many people must continue to drink water from the Nile River. At that time, the plague will spread to several African countries, and eventually the entire Africa will be ruled by the plague. In this case, Africa's economy will suffer a devastating blow. At the same time, the world's economy will also be affected. Therefore, even though the Paris Club knew that Ethiopia's corruption problem was extremely serious, it still had to fund it and provide debt relief every year.

After all, although the current government is corrupt, it can keep Ethiopians alive. Although it is just living, it is enough. Otherwise, everyone will die, and no one will be able to bear the plague when it comes.

When Lin Feng heard this, he was shocked again and again. This world is really full of strange things. Also, the Paris Club, such an interesting organization, is really unheard of. But this also shows how big the world is. Perhaps no one really knows how strange this world is!

"Then what do you want me to do? Send 'Langya' there?" Lin Feng shrugged, "I can send people there, but the result may not be what your country can bear. 50,000 public toilets, how many people have occupied this place? Gang, if I take action, there will be not only rivers of blood, but also screams. Then, if I drive people away, but you accuse me of massacre or murder, wouldn't I be wronged? "

Minister Teshome just now showed a smile.

"Mr. Lin, in order to encourage foreign investors to invest in Ethiopia, President Georges has promulgated a special bill - the Aeolian Private Property Amendment Act!" Minister Teshome said slyly.
