Bassong Government: ??% Approval

Symbol for Samuel Bassong's Liberty Coalition Government (1993-1994)


The End of the Liberty Coalition

The inevitability of Samuel Bassong's fall from grace had been written in stone since the Gaza Scandal. Bassong's administration would prove incapable of being able to weather the corruption of the Liberal Democrats and their subsequent removal from the National Assembly. Bassong's last act as President of the Samgolan Republic was a Call for New Elections, in facing scrutiny from his own party as well as the general population. Only 15 months after having taken office, Bassong was resolved to put the future of Samgola in a new election.

1994 Flash Election
- Samgola Dawn: 79 Seats in the National Assembly
- Labour Front: 58 Seats in the National Assembly
- Nationalist Party of Samgola: 36 Seats in the National Assembly
- Samgolan Technocratic Union: 55 Seats in the National Assembly

In a tight run off against Labour Front, with split votes from S.T.U, Jasura Hervitt was elected as the 2nd President of the Samgolan Republic to serve the remainder of Bassong's presidency until 1996 where another standard election would take place. [Samgola Dawn must now form a Coalition.]

Samgolan Dawn:


Bassong Administration


Kamidye, National Assembly


Jasura, finally the president wasted no time on forming a majority coalition. The most obvious choice was that of the Nationalist Party of Samgola, they shared similar values believing in doing what was the best for samgola. Within a matter of hours, the two parties came to an agreement. They would receive two seats on the cabinet as well as they would work together for a better nation. Within no time the President stood before the Assembly and officially proposed his cabinet, then called it for a vote.

Kamidye, National Assembly


Within less than a week of majority coalition forming and the election. They already planned out the budget and presented it to the assembly. Some of the major increases were in the defense spending, national healthcare and security. While there was a complete decrease in foreign spending and education for the disabled. Unlike the previous Bassong regime, the new coalition would present it to the assembly for debate before calling it to a formal vote.

Hervit Government: 51% Approval

The Hervit Government

The election finished, Jasura Hervit immediately proposed a cabinet which was ratified after a largely coalition based vote. President Hervit then proposed the 1994-1995 Budget, which suffered some minor debate but mostly went mum in the eyes of the Labour Front and Samgolan Technocratic Union. Polling within the seven Provinces indicated that the Hervit government was seen in a mostly positive light, with a 51% Approval rate in the nation. If a budget was not approved by January 1st, 1995 then the Government would suffer an immediate Shutdown.

The various ministries of the Hervit government would be filled out by the beginning of the month. A failure to pass a budget would prove difficult given the party line, but the future of Samgola rested on the potentiality of the Samgola Dawn led coalition to do what the Liberal Democrats, Democratic Alliance for Reform and Samgolan Patriotic Party could not: survive a presidential term.

Samgolan Technocratic Union


National Assembly


With the sudden spike in popularity the STU had now suddenly gained the power to make due into actions and politics what they had desired to do for so long. No longer having to work backroom deals, they had the numbers now to be a real effect in the National Assembly. Although it came at the price of having so many new names and posts filled that the STU' voice wasn't as unified as they had been before.

Although at the current situation, that might be said for all the new parties - that had arrived and been awarded the seats of the now defunct Liberal Coalition and their parties. Although that might be the situation for all of the current parties in the National Assembly whom had gained a very sudden influx of people, who may or may not be one-hundred percent behind everything the party proposed or did.

Still, things went on and the STU couldn't afford to remain stagnant for long. They had a budget to vote on and a people to help out of poverty, homelessness and a wave of crime. Thus the STU moved into motion of calling the CPA into a vote - namely to help improve the local community, lessen the threat and pressure put upon the shoulders of the Samgolan Police Force.

“I believe as there has been little debate or discussion over the new bill. That it is time for us to vote. Which is why I shall call to vote the Budget of 1994-1995.” Zaya said with a smile as he looked out to the crowd of the national assembly.

Hervit Government: 50% Approval


The Budget Goes to a Vote
President Jasura Hervit saw his Cabinet Proposal pass along party lines and immediately cost the 1994-1995 Budget to a Vote. The hope here was that a quick passage of the laws, appropriating nearly four billion dollars in funds would rectify the sinking Samgolan ship and provide new hope for an administration that was just finding it's legs. With less than a month to pass a budget before an imminent government shutdown, approval for the Hervit Administration dropped 1%. "More of the same," local voters reported, citing similar concerns with the Bassong Administration last year.

Rumors abound that those not indicted in the Liberty Coalition might put some of their members together into a single political party to represent the liberal minority of Samgola. President Hervit's cabinet was now free to get to work.

Idris Maganbe (middle) meeting with party functionaries in an unofficial meeting, December 1994.

New Democratic Alliance




The sun was slowly setting over the suburbs, neat rows of identical houses scattered over the hills. A few of the shu-shu's were crudely painted over to stand out from the rest; red, yellow, black. From a distance, the landscape looked like someone was punched in the mouth and spat teeth all over. Idris turned away from the window, putting out his tobacco roll.

He felt as if his entire life was spent in shallow waters. Trudging on, ankles submerged, then the knees, till he was belt-deep. A week after his forty-first birthday, he found himself gazing down an abyss. A metaphorical waterfall. There was an option of turning back and struggling toward the shore. He could just leave. No one was keeping him. But there was something in the way the water at the bottom shimmered and twisted against the cool, smooth stones. It felt like a surge of energy. It felt real. The pure, calm water at the top only flowed one way, he realized. But down there it was free for all. There was no guarantee he wouldn't plummet and die.

But he was sure to make a ripple.



Idris Maganbe had an interesting biography. Having finished the Kamidye state university in 1975 with a degree in civil law, he briefly worked in the magistrate courts at a provincial level, but he could barely feed his wife and elderly mother. He was hired as a tutor for a private school in Soussiam, and made some valuable friendships, both with his fellow teachers and the pupil's parents; some of whom were government officials, businessmen and regional elites. When Rubusana tried a round of economic reforms, Maganbe was one of the few who didn't miss the opportunity. Coordinating with local, Nigerian, and American investors, Idris founded a successful logistics company in Makumbe, dealing in industrial machinery and electronics.

When the People's Front surged in popularity and began to clash with the government forces all across the country, he lost everything. He lived in neighboring Nigeria for years, where he would learn English and try his hand at writing satirical, yet scathing articles about both sides in the civil war, at one point becoming an editor for Free Nation, a journal whose audience mainly consisted of Samgolan refugees and emigres.

It was inevitable that, with his prominence in liberal circles, he would go on to make a career in the National Assembly, having ran for the seat of Modiali electoral district as a member of DAR.

Now that the Liberty Coalition has been broken up, with an unbelievable amount of MNAs tried for corruption charges, it felt like the two parties were teeming with kickbacks and schemes to profit from the numerous infrastructure projects.

Perhaps it was the case for some. But Idris felt that many were in it because it worked. Houses were built, roads were built. Railroads, public transportation. People could finally get to work, unemployment and homelessness dropped significantly. Idris Maganbe wasn't the only man who was itching to start things over. Maintaining a month-long correspondence, as well as holding several meetings for the remnants of the coalition, he was the most energetic of them all, and it seemed like he was better known than the rest. Leadership of the New Democratic Alliance fell into his hands.

Maganbe pulled out of the driveway, silently passing the shu-shu's and police stops.




"The new budget is a disgrace." He spoke, staring off into the midst of the crowd, lips pursed in a stern frown. "The Hervit government is trying to pass a bill that takes a step away from democratic values and steers us towards a police state." Idris gave an iconic grimace, nursing his chin and speaking again. "The S.D party is trying to pass a bill that cuts funding for disabled people's welfare. Their education programs are curtailed, and all the victims of the civil war are punished for the crime of being vulnerable. Our country and our culture should be valued by how we treat those in need. The New Democratic Alliance is a party that shall strive to represent the honest Samgolan citizen, the citizen that helps build a just and compassionate society. Thank you all for coming, my friends."

Hervit Government: 68% Approval

The Government's Budget is Passed

The Hervit government's budget for 1994-1995 is passed, with only the Nationalist Party of Samgola abstaining from a vote. The budget reallocated spending in nearly twenty billion dollars worth of funds, eliminating the funds for Nigerian Aid as well as bringing an abrupt end to Task Force Europa--a task force of fourteen different nations totaling nearly 11,000 soldiers. By January 5th, 1995--half of them had already left via Kamidye International Airport.

Funding for the Education for the Disabled was removed entirely, as was significant funding for the Samgolan Disability Program, which catered to physical disabilities for war veterans and the elderly. The national debt had now increased to $249,000,000,000, and economists in Kamidye were now suggesting that failure to pay off the debt might have significant future impact.

The New Democratic Alliance is Announced

Considered an untenable position after a trio of scandals that literally saw the resignation of President Samuel Bassong, those liberals still hopeful of a party that might cater to their views--outside the more extremist left positions of Labour Front, found new hope in the New Democratic Alliance, a coming together of those politicians left unscathed by the Gaza Scandal, Operation Dragon and the fall of the Democratic Alliance for Reform. While they would be without a political voice until the September, 1996 elections, it was of the opinion of many that those original voters that catered to the whims of the Liberty Coalition would undoubtedly return to support freedom and generosity in the next election. [N.D.A. gains +3% Liberal Voter in Selected Provinces.]

Explosion in Kamidye Kills 17, 55 Wounded

A car bomb rocked the downtown market of Kamidye, killing 17 and leaving 55 in critical condition. Kamidye Federal Police were on the scene in minutes as were emergency services. The car bomb was not home made but military grade, although no immediate suspects were discovered. What, if anything, to come of it, was to be soon seen. [+2.00% to Crime Wave crisis.]

The Fight in Ziwa Intensifies

Seventeen soldiers of the Samgolan Army are killed in a three day long firefight in the province of Ziwa. The Islamic Army has allegedly changed tactics, instead of utilizing hit and run tactics are now mounting singular offensives where Samgolan soldiers are weakest. A new leader, Mahmoud Al-Nasar has been identified by Samgolan Army High Command (SAHC) in Kamidye, an eighteen year old whose fighter supported Rubusana and the People's Front and whose mother was killed only months ago. In mid-February, the Mattunde Firefight ended with nearly 75 Islamic Army fighters converging on a patrol of 21 Samgolan soldiers. Only 4 escaped.


Mahmoud Al-Nasar, center, reputed new leader of the Islamic Army, February 1995

The Islamic Army now controls two of the six states of Ziwa, Odyassam and Kolodam. The population there exists entirely under Islamic Army law--a semi-feudalistic and patriarchal system of government, run by Mahmoud Al-Nasar. Samgolan Army units of the 4th "Onige" Division have now pulled back. Without firm leadership, continued forays using the Community Policing and Deescalating Lawlessness protocol into Odyassam and Kolodam are now considered "suicide missions" by the Samgolan Army. [-2% Approval for the Bureau of Defense.]

New Democratic Alliance Seeks Donors for Next Years Election

The New Democratic Alliance is now shopping for potential contributors to their political agenda. Among their decision to ramp up the political agenda to prepare for the next election was Regional Seat #12 in Pabba, Makumbe. The National Assembly member there, a new delegate of the Samgolan Technocratic Union had allegedly been under the eyes of a potential financial investigation regarding fraudulent payments to the Samgolan Tax Bureau.

A supporter of the New Democratic Alliance called the Party Headquarters in Kamidye with some exciting news.
