Rebirth of England.

During the London Olympics, it seemed that tourists from all over the world came here...

As you can imagine, the result is that the flow of people in London is even more terrifying than usual.

"Before the Olympics, hotel prices in London had already skyrocketed, with an increase of more than 300%. Even so, it is difficult to find a bed here..."

According to statistics, there are about 11 hotel rooms in London, but athletes from various countries who come here to participate in the Olympics alone occupy one-third of these rooms - in fact, long before the Olympics, the International Olympic Committee had already booked 40% of them for official use by the Olympics.

The hotels under the Four Seasons Cavendish Hotel Group are no exception, including their two luxury Devonshire hotels in London and a Four Seasons hotel. These three most luxurious hotels are in high demand.

It is no exaggeration to say that during the half month of the London Olympics, the turnover of these hotels was comparable to that of a normal quarter...

There are even many hotels that kick out customers who have booked at a slightly lower price or checked in early, for various reasons, just to take the opportunity to earn three or four times the usual room rate.

Of course, the hotels under the Four Seasons Cavendish Hotel Group will not allow this. After their rooms are full, they provide service personnel and cooperate with Grainger Property Rental Company under Cavendish Asset Management Company. The short-term rental apartments provided by the other party are also fully booked by tourists. Because of the continuous expansion plan, the Four Seasons Cavendish Hotel Group has been training reserve service personnel. This time they drew from these trainees and surplus service personnel from other English-speaking countries to provide enough service personnel for the short-term rental apartment project with Grainger Property Rental Company.

It can be said that due to the thorough preparation, this London Olympics will bring satisfactory revenue to the Four Seasons Cavendish Hotel Group.

Of course, it is not just the hotel industry that will benefit from the Olympics this time. Retail, catering, entertainment and cultural industries will also make a lot of money - because Olympic tickets are already difficult to buy, many tourists who come to London will not be able to attend the games, and even those who buy tickets can often only watch one or two events...

So based on the principle of "since you're here already", many of them decided to visit other scenic spots in England. The many castles and manors owned by the Grace Cultural Tourism Group are naturally the main destinations for these tourists.

Even more popular is Harrods, one of the most famous department stores in London and even in the UK. This "shopping mecca" owned by the Devonshire Family Foundation is also flooded with tourists from all over the world.

After all, most of those who can come to London at this time are rich people. So when you have free time in London, you certainly can't miss the opportunity to experience Harrods, the world's top shopping mall.

According to the statistics sent by Julia Moore to Barron, Harrods' sales began to rise sharply from a week before the opening of the Olympics, especially some tourists from Asia, who provided more than one-third of Harrods' sales during this period, mainly Chinese tourists, and their purchasing power is evident.

However, at this time, Barron had already left London. After attending the opening ceremony of the Olympics and watching some of the competitions in the first two days, including the birth of the first gold medal of the London Olympics, which was won by a Chinese athlete in the women's 10-meter air rifle event, he left London and went to Colo.

……

Before Barron came to Kolo, Kolo's armed force, the Kolo Corps, responded to the AU's proposal and had sent a force of about 500 armed personnel (about a battalion) to participate in the AU's peacekeeping operations in Mali.

It all started with the unrest in North Africa last year.

During the "Arab Spring" that began in the North African country of Tunisia last year, the Gaddafi regime in Libya fell.

Previously, there was a group of Tuareg mercenaries in Libya under the command of Colonel Kadiz. After Colonel Kadiz's fall, these Tuareg mercenaries fled there, some to Nigeria and some to Mali.

The Tuareg are a semi-nomadic Islamic people widely distributed in Niger, Mali, Algeria and Libya.

However, the Tuareg people in northern Mali have conflicts with the Malian government. Because they have been marginalized by the Malian government, they have a strong sense of national identity and have been trying to establish an independent country.

Therefore, after some Tuareg people in Libya arrived in Mali, they quickly formed an alliance with the local Tuareg people and launched a large-scale Azawad national liberation movement.

On the surface, Mali's political situation has been relatively stable since the establishment of the Third Republic in 1992, but this stability is mainly due to the balance between central and local tribal forces.

However, the emergence of the National Liberation Movement of Azawad broke this balance and Mali was shrouded in the shadow of civil war.

And just like that, in January of this year, the Mali civil war officially broke out!

The Malian government, like many African governments, is internally corrupt and has very weak control over the country. Therefore, when the civil war broke out, the government forces were defeated by the long-awaited "Zawad National Liberation Movement" rebels and lost land one after another.

Ultimately, the poor performance of the government army led to the coup in Mali in March this year, when a group of soldiers overthrew the then president and formed a military government - this kind of thing can be said to be normal in Africa...

However, ideals are full and reality is very skinny. After the military government came to power, it still failed to prevent the government's defeat.

By April, the rebels of the National Liberation Movement of Azawad had occupied two-thirds of Mali and declared the establishment of the Republic of Azawad in northern Mali.

As a result, Mali has been faced with a north-south confrontation and the country is divided. It can be said that the government forces are in danger.

It was at this time that a split began to emerge within the National Liberation Movement of Azawad.

The National Liberation Movement of Azawad is divided into two main factions: the Defenders of the Faith and the Movement for Democracy of Azawad.

The "Defenders of the Faith" organization has deep roots in al-Qaeda and is an Islamic extremist organization. They advocate imitating the Islamic State (ISIS) and building an extreme religious regime covering West Africa.

But the National Liberation Movement of Azawad does not have such a big idea. They do not want to overthrow the Malian government, but just want to establish a secular nation-state recognized by the UN.

Because their differences were so great, the two groups soon started a civil war again after their common enemy, the government army, weakened.
