Chapter 4016: Difficult situation

On this day, Ernest took a few of his entourages and hurried over to find Lin Rui.
"Mr. Rick. You must have heard of the recent situation. I've been really burnt in the past few days." Ernest smiled bitterly.
"I have warned you about this a long time ago. Someone will take advantage of you. I just didn't expect it to come so soon and so suddenly.
IMHO, this is definitely the result of careful arrangement. Someone deliberately wanted to trap the Western Sahara government in an unrighteous place. Lin Rui nodded and said.
"This is indeed the case. The problem now is no matter how we say it, how we stand. It's not as convincing as those terrorists detonating a bomb.
Almost no one wants to listen to our explanation. Everyone thinks that we are in the same group with those terrorists and that we are a rogue country that supports terrorism.
Now even international humanitarian organizations have begun to cut aid to us. Because someone convinced them that we used their aid to support terrorists. "Ennister said helplessly.
"We use international aid to support terrorist organizations? Have you ever heard of such nonsense?
I told them that the aid gave us food, medicine and tents. Not a weapon or ammunition!
But guess what? This afternoon, the anti-terrorist forces of the six Sahel countries raided a terrorist camp. What was found from their camp was all labeled with aid to the government of Western Sahara. Including food and medicine, some are not even opened.
What followed was an overwhelming condemnation. In this case, in the face of such condemnation, everything I said paled. "Ennister said helplessly.
"Then don't give any explanation." Lin Rui shook his head. "Actually, any explanation you give now is useless. The explanation is not clear. All people think you are connected to terrorists.
If the explanation is clear, then everyone will think that you have completely lost control of Western Sahara.
Although it is true, there are some things that cannot be explained.
Once everyone thinks that you have lost control of the Western Sahara region, then as the Western Sahara government, it will truly exist in name only. "
Ernest was stunned for a moment, looked at Lin Rui and shook his head, "How can you say that? The Western Sahara government is still an elected government in the Western Sahara region so far, and it is widely recognized by the Western Saharans."
He patted Ernest on the shoulder, "Mr. Ernest, please calm down and listen to me.
In fact, the current Western Sahara government is a government in exile. Your government is established in a refugee camp in Algeria. I'm not wrong about this, am I? "
"Yes, but..." Ernest just wanted to explain. Jiang An waved his hand, not letting him finish, and then asked, "We are just talking about the matter. As a government in exile, what is the most important point?"
"What is it?" Mr. Ernest asked.
Jiang An replied, "It is the sense of existence, the desire of the people, and sufficient influence. There have been many governments in exile in history, and the most famous is the free France led by General de Gaulle during World War II.
In fact, after the end of World War II, the important reason that the French government-in-exile was able to return to France and govern smoothly was because of their influence and the aspirations of their people.
Although they were not in France during World War II, their influence on France was everywhere. Even their influence in the minds of the French once surpassed the Petain regime supported by the Germans at that time.
Why is this, the answer is still influence. If at this time, you try to get rid of yourself, you will eventually make everyone feel that you have lost enough influence in Western Sahara.
There is no need for a government without influence. So the most important thing at the moment is not how to try to distinguish yourself.
But to let people see that you still have enough influence in Western Sahara.
Looking at it from another angle, why do those terrorist organizations and local armed forces who do not listen to your orders at all, but act in your name?
In fact, what they value is your influence in this area. So my suggestion is, rather than you are now struggling with this problem.
It is better to actively contact the Moroccan side and start a dialogue with them. Both parties work together to resolve the current problems. "
"Start a dialogue with the Moroccan government? Can they listen to our explanation at this time?" Ernest shook his head. "The contradictions and differences between our two sides are too deep."
"I also know that the contradictions and differences between you two are deep, but believe me. Morocco is not a fool, and they have their own judgments about the current situation.
They confronted each other for decades, and both knew each other's details. They should also be able to see that this event is not yours.
You do have a certain prestige in Western Sahara, but it is not enough to order all local armed organizations, let alone command those lawless terrorists.
So they have their own judgments about the current situation, and you don't need to make them believe anything. They will believe in themselves.
In fact, in the current situation, they are also relatively big heads. If everything is dominated by you, it will be a good thing for them. Because as long as you are solved, all problems can be solved.
But they can now see that there must be a third party behind this. Of course, they will not declare that to the outside world, they will only declare that all of this is yours. But in fact, they knew it well.
So if you show your attitude and are willing to start a dialogue, it is actually the wisest choice. "Lin Rui replied.
"It's not that we haven't considered this. In fact, Mr. President and I have talked many times. However, the current situation makes him unable to make up his mind.
This is because many armed organizations in the Sahara area have almost been out of our control, and they are now motivating a large number of people in the name of the restoration of Western Sahara.
If at this time, we choose to hold talks with Morocco. It will cause even greater misunderstandings, which will make all Western Saharans think that we are betraying this country. Ernest whispered.
"I understand your worries. But there is one thing, I am afraid it is more worthy of your worry. If you continue to develop in this way, I am afraid that you will not even get the opportunity to meet in the end.
Once Morocco is determined to eradicate Western Sahara’s resistance, they are capable of doing so. They will not negotiate with you, or even give you a chance to negotiate. "Jian An looked at Ernest and sighed.
