Comoros documentary (14)

Comoros is an island country, and Moroni, the capital, has a large international airport, which was built with the assistance of the people of China. Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport (Hayaya National Airport) is an important window for Comoros to communicate with other countries in the world and plays an important role in economic development. Experts from China Assistance Mission provided technical guidance at the airport, while China provided assistance to security inspection equipment and airport power supply equipment, guided the maintenance and management methods of airport equipment, and participated in guiding the airport equipment upgrading and transformation plan. Thanks to the joint efforts of experts from China and technicians from Comoros Airport, Comoros Airport has met the requirements of the International Air Transport Association, and established weather stations and medical rooms. We have implemented separate channels for domestic and foreign flights in and out of Hong Kong. State-owned airlines operate passenger planes between the four islands, while private airlines undertake air transport business. Zhao Gang of our Radio and Television Group took a small plane to Anjouan Island from Haha Airport for many times, and he was there just for the technical maintenance of the private TV station on Anjouan Island. We met China people at the airport several times, and we saw that black people were going to travel far away and were reluctant to part with their families at the airport. Monkey cried and cried, and the benefactor told us everything. I was a stranger to black people before. When I saw this scene, I found that they were no different from us. They had the same emotions, the same family ties, but different colors, cultures and customs. Even in the same country and different provinces, there are phenomena of unbalanced economic development, different dialects, different values and different customs. Some place names are sometimes known through disasters. There was an air crash in Comoros. A flight of Yemen Airlines carrying 1996 and 153 attempted to land near Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport in Comoros on June 30th, but failed. Then turn around in the air and turn around at 1: 00 local time on the 30th. The air crash also caused a sensation in the world at that time. China CCTV reported it in the news broadcast that year, but Comoros was too small to attract the special attention of ordinary people in China.

More than 50 people were killed on board/Kloc-0, and the only survivor was a French girl named Bahia Bacari, who was found stuck in the wreckage after floating at sea 13 hours. She and her mother went to Comoros from Charles de Gaulle airport in France. A month after the accident, she recovered and was discharged from hospital.

Mucha Mudu Port is the largest port in Comoros, and the communication between the four Comoros islands mainly depends on ships except airplanes.

Because of the port throughput, it is common for large cargo ships from all over the world to queue up at the Comoros terminal and wait for ten and a half days in the coastal waters.

? As far as I know, there are five or six China people who have settled in Comoros for business. There are women surnamed Chen who run large machinery, Lao Wang who runs tobacco, Lao Zhang who runs furniture and home appliances in Cangzhou, Hebei Province, Sichuan women who sometimes do translation and run dance and kung fu classes in China, and Hangzhou women who run seafood. I forgot her last name. Their goods mainly depend on sea transportation. It is said that shipping is not very safe. Shipwrecks and pirates are common, even if you arrive safely in Comoros. It is also a very laborious task to wait for the ship to dock and then unload the goods. As mentioned above, the ship can't wait at sea because it can't be discharged. If the goods are damaged, lost or deteriorated, it can only be considered unlucky. It can be seen that it is difficult for China people to do business.

Comorians often travel between four islands by boat. After all, it's much cheaper than a plane. However, disasters also happen from time to time. Before going to Comoros, a black female worker from a radio and television center went to Anjouan on business. Her ship was caught in bad weather, hit the rocks and sank into the sea, and was unfortunately killed.

? There is a long-distance bus station in central Comoros, called North Bus Station. The so-called long-distance buses are all old medium-sized vans without air conditioning. The carriage was full of people and was already overloaded. In order to make money, drivers try their best to attract passengers from the car. These cars are privately operated, and the competition seems fierce. They are shouting names like "Ha ha ya", "Ha ha ya", "Wazu" and "Wazu". Comoros Radio and Television.

Moroni airport is in "hahaha". I sometimes go to the radio and television center. Originally, I wanted to experience the feeling of taking a black coach, but when I saw that there were so many black people crowded in the bus and there was no air conditioning, I immediately canceled the idea and took a taxi instead. Taxis in Comoros have no meter. Generally, it costs 200 Comorian francs, equivalent to 2 yuan RMB. However, a few taxi drivers charge casually like foreigners, which becomes 250 Comoros francs. We also learned to deal with them. "Two hundred", the black driver will no longer insist, only two hundred. We usually have some coins in our hands, which is not convenient to carry. I found an empty toothpaste band, which is just thick enough to put these coins in. When taking a taxi, it's convenient to take out 200 yuan coins for the driver. The black driver was also very humorous and joked, "It's nothing, just pour it out for me."
