[center][h2]The Samgolan Patriotic Party[/h2][/center] The war was over and all the other political parties had begun their attempts to unite the people and become the new leading power in the country. However, not all the parties had been active once the civil war had come to a close, the Samgolan Patriotic Party, a largely liberal nationalist party which promoted Samgola becoming a competitive power in the world market and thoughts of democracy and the inalienable rights that all Samgolans had, had not immediately been present in the political game. Instead they had chosen to await for all their members to gather in Kamidye in order to elect a representative to the party, being delayed in trying contact old important members who had gone into hiding from the militias that had formed. Yet, the party election had taken place, and a Samgolan-raised, Christian had been elected as the voice of the party and as the running candidate of their new democratic system. His name was Xirsi F. Sahra, a fifty-three year old veteran from the civil war, constantly had been seen in political activity even before the civil war, but had been much less eager in his work than he is now.

Sahra[/i][/center] However, the party’s following was small and as some would say radical, Xirsi would instead say, “overly optimistic to get started in making a proper Samgola.” After an interview into the the party’s delay in arriving on the political scene, Xirsi answered, “We had many delays, our brothers had to come from every corner of the country, some couldn’t come out of fear of being targeted by the Islamic militias that walk our countryside. So, when the deadline for members to arrive, we held our election and I won. That is all there is to it.” Later, it was found that Xirsi had travelled to Modiali with his crew, wanting to establish themselves with the states of the nearby capital where they believed it was more likely for their party to gain support. It was announced later after his arrival that he would be holding a speech rally. Upon his arrival to the stage, his more radical of supported clapped and hollered there praises even before the speech began, no doubt probably driving away some of the more casual viewers of the politics there. “My brothers and sisters, I am here to talk about massacre that has occurred in Kolodam, by the militias that were supposed to protect their fellow Samgolans. This is an affront to the very foundations of what we as a people should stand for. Islamic, Christian, what does it matter? When people like those who attacked Kolodam are let loose, it does nothing but further divide us as a people. “ “They wish to radicalize those who support them and kill all those who should oppose them, and the Samgolan Dawn defends these, quote, misunderstood people, end quote. What is it that is defensible about those who have committed this heinous act? These militias are showing that they believe themselves above the law, destroying the very foundation of our currently delicate system. Should they continue to be this way then every radical like them will continue to slaughter fellow Samgolan’s.” “Brothers, sisters, we must band together in this time of conflict within our great nation. We must show that we are Samgolan, even if religion divides us, I promise that I will lower the amount of these militias in the nation to prevent another senseless slaughter like this one. Do not support those who would defend the cause of this, the Samgolan Dawn, we must become one people should our new system of government survive and the Dawn wishes to take away religious freedoms. The militia attack is not a cry for help, but an attack against our great nation!” [hider=Week 3 Actions] - [b]Travel by Car:[/b] Travel to Modiali [[Costs 0 Energy and $4,000.] - [b]Speech:[/b] [u]Oppose[/u] National Militias [Costs 1 Energy Point. -$10,000.
