Chapter 397 The Angry Mayor of Arusha
After hearing what Chu Ye said, the leader of Maasai could only nod in agreement. After that, the Maasai leader led the Maasai warriors and villagers to leave the village and walked towards the city of Arusha.
Soon, these Maasai people arrived in Arusha. Arusha is a city in northern Tanzania. It is a relatively large city with a population of more than one million. Home to two famous national parks, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, it is an important tourist city in Tanzania.
Originally, most of Tanzania's economic income relied on tourism. Therefore, the Tanzanian government has continuously established some nature reserves in recent years to protect wild animals, so as to increase the country's tourism revenue.
In order to protect wild animals, the Tanzanian government once decided to move a Maasai people in the reserve to the city to give wild animals a larger living space. Moreover, it is also called to solve the life problems of the Maasai people.
However, the Maasai are a very strange nation. They have been accustomed to their own living habits for thousands of years and are not willing to live in the city at all.
For this reason, there have been many conflicts between the Maasai and Arusha government officials. Former government officials spent money to build a village for the Maasai people on the outskirts of Arusha so that they could live in the city. And we can also arrange jobs for them so that they can live a stable life without wandering around.
However, these Maasai people were unwilling to accept the government's gifts. After living in the village for a few days, they all ran back to live on the prairie.
For this reason, Arusha government officials often compete with these Maasai people to persuade them to cooperate with the government and move to the city.
However, everything is in vain. These Maasai people are not willing to live in the city at all. They have long been accustomed to wandering on the prairie. How can you let them work in factories?
In fact, the thoughts of us ordinary people may be the same as those of the Arusha government officials. They just want to let these Maasai people live a stable life and no longer have to live a nomadic life. But why are they unwilling to live a stable life and must wander around!
However, if we can consider the problem from the perspective of the Maasai people themselves, we can understand why they are unwilling to live in the city.
It's like catching a little bird in the wild and putting it in a cage. It feels like you can let it live a stable life without having to look for food outside.
But if you don't think about it, if the bird puts you in a cage, it will lose its freedom. They have long been accustomed to life in the wild. If you put them in a cage, of course they will not adapt.
The Maasai people are actually little birds living in the wild. If you imprison them and let them live a stable life, of course they will not want to.
However, in order to protect wild animals and expand their living space, the Tanzanian government had to expel these indigenous residents living in the reserve.
Originally, there were many indigenous people living in Tanzania's nature reserves. However, other indigenous residents gradually adapted to urban life and became willing to live in the city and no longer wanted to live a wandering life.
However, this Maasai man is the only one who is determined to live his own way of life. He is unwilling to live in the city and must wander on this prairie.
In recent years, the battle between the Arusha government and the Maasai people has never stopped. However, the Maasai people are strong and unyielding, resolutely resisting government actions, and still want to live a nomadic life on the prairie.
However, the Tanzanian government’s policy of expanding tourist attractions and increasing tourism revenue will not change. They have been urging Arusha government officials to try their best to drive the Maasai people out of the place where they live and ask them to give up their territory to wild animals.
The current mayor of Arusha is called Sachi. After he became the mayor of this city, he also followed the arrangements of his superiors and has been arranging relevant personnel under him to negotiate with the Maasai people and ask them to move to the city. .
Sage handed over this important task to his subordinate Brees. Bliss is the director of Arusha Tourism. Of course, this work related to Arusha's tourism industry should be left to him, the tourism director.
Bliss also went to negotiate with the Maasai leaders again and again, asking them to move to the city. He said that after they live in the city, their life will be very good, much better than living on the prairie.
However, everything is in vain, these Maasai people are not willing to live the life of city people at all, no matter how many good words Brees says to them, it is useless.
Brees was also very helpless about this. He knew that if he failed to complete the tasks assigned by his leader, he would definitely be criticized by his leader.
In fact, the same goes for Sachi. He also has his own leader. If he fails to complete his task and persuade the Maasai people to leave the prairie, he will also be criticized by his leader.
For Sachi and others, trying to persuade the Maasai people to leave the place where they live is really difficult. It should be said that they are officials of the national government, and they have the power to drive these Maasai people out of the place where they live by force.
However, as government officials, they cannot use strong methods to drive away these Maasai people. After all, this would create hatred between the Maasai and government officials, which would be very troublesome.
Therefore, for Sage and Brees, how to drive these Maasai people away from where they live is a difficult and tricky matter.
For Sage, he left this matter to Brees anyway. If Brees gets the job done, that's fine. If Brees fails to complete the task, of course he will be blamed by Sage.
Of course, the officials in Arusha have no idea what is happening on the prairie these days. They have no idea that the problem they have been unable to solve has now been successfully solved by Chu Ye. The Maasai people were starting to walk towards the city of Arusha.
That was the case today, when Thaci took it out on Brees after receiving criticism from Tanzanian government officials.
'Bliss, how did you finish what I told you? Have you discussed it with the Maasai people? Are they willing to live in the city? Sage asked, looking at Brees.
After hearing what Saatchi said, Bliss said helplessly, "Mayor, I'm sorry, I didn't complete the task. I personally talked to the Maasai leaders several times, but they just didn't want to leave the place where they lived. Has been living on the prairie. '
When Saatchi heard this, he became very angry and said, "What are you talking about? I gave you a month to do this little thing, but you can't do it well. How do you ask me to explain it to my superiors?" '
'Mayor, we have tried our best. Those Maasai people are savages and we can't communicate with them at all! ' Brees explained.
'Idiot, what's the point of raising you? You can't even handle this little thing. After that, if something big happens, how will you handle it? 'Thatch continued to get mad at Brees.
Brees could only lower his head and stand in front of Sage. Although he was very angry in his heart, he could only endure it in front of the leader.
'Mayor, those Maasai people don't listen to our persuasion at all. It's useless to persuade them. ’ Brees continued to defend himself.
'It's useless, then what do you think we should do? We must drive away those Maasai people. This is a task assigned to us by the national government. If we cannot complete it, how will we explain it to our superiors? 'Saatchi was also very helpless.
'Mayor, if not, just ask the police to go over and drive these Maasai people away. These people are barbarians, and it is useless for you to reason with them. You can only use coercive measures. '
Brees felt that the only way to deal with these poor Maasai people was by the police. Because they didn't listen to Brees and the others, there was no other way. We can only let the police uncle solve this thorny problem.
As soon as Sage heard what Brees said, he got angry again, 'Humph, Brees, you idiot. If I can send the police to solve this problem, why do I need this useless thing like you? Do you know the consequences of using the police to solve this matter? '
After hearing what Saatchi said, Brees was still a little confused. He looked at Saatchi and said, 'Mayor, you said those Maasai people are disobedient, what else can you do if you don't send the police. '
'Idiot, you also know that those Maasai people are very barbaric. If you send the police over, they will definitely clash with the police. If that were the case, it would be a big deal. If national government officials pursue the case, your and my official positions will not be guaranteed. Sage looked at Brees and cursed.
After hearing this, Brees scolded this Saatchi in his heart, 'Damn it, you call me a fool, then why don't you go negotiate with the leader of Marseille! I can’t solve this problem myself! You will be great at me, what the hell. '
However, on the surface, Brees still pretended to be helpless and said, 'Mayor, if you don't send the police, then this problem will not be solved at all. '
After saying that, Brees glanced at Sage and then said, "Mayor, tell me how we should solve this problem!" I listen to you. '
After hearing what Brees said, Sage stared at him for a while and then cursed again, "Okay, you idiot, you can get out and let me think about how to solve the problem at hand." '
