“Ah, so fighting for what you believe in is what makes man of value to you? Truly then you must respect those of the People Front more than any Samgolan in this crowd, the women, children, sickly, weak. The millions who could never fight personally on the battlefield. Don’t worry however my fellow Samgolan, just because my fellow Candidate dismisses your self worth, doesn’t mean you are of no value. You are just as important as the soldier, general, or politician, because you are Samgolan. I will fight for more than just the rights of the armed soldier, I will also fight for the rights of the poor and wealthy, the hungry and fed, the weak and the strong. I care not for whether or not you served this country on the battlefield, but if you serve this country as a citizen. Now Mr. Mahol, let us end this charade and allow the moderator to continue before we make a show of such an important debate.” Yembe had finally step back from the stage, allowing for the debate to move forward.

“You can’t speak up against injustice, when those in power hold the barrel of a gun to your head. The fact that you say otherwise is both the most ignorant and outlandish statement I’ve ever heard from a fellow Samgolan in the nearly thirty years I’ve remained politically active. If you are to insult your elders then feel free, you will only make a mockery of yourself and flaunt your ignorance. However, to insult my voters, those who support me? That is unacceptable. Let me ask you once again Mr. Mahol, do you honestly believe that Mr. Rubusana’s government was anything but a sham democracy? If it wasn’t, then why are we here with a new constitution, new elections, and new leadership? Where is President Rubusana’s administration? Dead and gone, as it should be. My fellow Samgolan’s know that now is the time to move forward and forget the past. Embrace a strong democracy, under an intelligent leadership, for the betterment of their fellow brothers and sisters of Samgola.”

“Clearly you do stand on a side Mr. Mahol, had you not then those images of your saluting next to a Soviet general would have never surfaced. Are you to truly lie to yourself and say that you stand for Samgolan democracy, when you proudly support a regime that eliminated it completely? Please, have some respect for the fellow citizens of Samgola and don’t lie to them so directly.” He then took a pause, taking a small sip from his drink. “And if you have an issue with my age, then tell me Mr. Mahol how is it that my party has remained competitive? Though you have lost confidence in my wisdom, millions of other Samgolans still look to me for both leadership and support.”

Noticing the slight chuckle coming from Mr. Mahol after he and Mr. Bassong gave their piece forced Yembe to speak up once again, “Cracking under the pressure already, Mr. Mahol? Or do you find discussing politics funny? These issues that affect real people, citizens whom you claim to protect.” Replying coolly. “Also you speak of American infiltration and subversion, yet you had met with a soviet general under President Rubusana’s regime. It seems more and more likely that it is you who is the puppet of long dead Soviet Union, grasping to mute and pointless talking points that have been irrelevant since the end of the Cold War. Ironic too, that you take arms against communism. Tell me Mr. Mahol, are you a capitalist or communist? You seem to hate the beacon of freedom and democracy and yet scorn the left wing. Where is it that you stand, because at the moment it seems that you stand nowhere. Simply attacking for the sake of attacking. Is this the best that Samgolan Dawn has to offer? Childish and empty insults on live television. It makes me sick that your party has fooled the citizens of our nation into supporting your heinous leadership.”

Yembe had remained calm under the accusation laid before him by the former general. Whose tone was both abrasive and rude. “Indeed America doesn’t have a perfect system, but that doesn’t mean we are to dismiss what works. A free market has allowed them to increase their power and influence exponentially, something that is necessary to replicate in order for Samgola to survive. We’ve already remained under the iron grasp of the puppet president Mr. Rubusana, who I might remind that you served under directly, whose crimes almost as severe as the People’s Front. If you wish to look towards corruption, then reevaluate the man you once served and still praise. Flaunting your status as a general under a warmonger and who lead thousands of young men to die. I may support our military, but you are a jingoistic murderer and a madman. This is made clear enough by your foolish and irresponsible plan to reintegrate rapists and killers into our military.”

Yembe allowed his fellow candidate a moment to speak. Issues on the war had been a fresh wound, yet this man had come into our nation acting as though he himself had experienced the horrors of the civil war. “It’s obvious that our nation has struggled over the past couple of decades, our democracy slowly rotting away into a shambling corpse long forgotten. This is something that must change. I have already stated one of the most important issues I wish to tackle during this presidency, corruption. The very nature of our problems, we can’t have a functioning society when those in charge refuse to help the citizens they are to serve. How can you ensure that your fellow Samgolan can drink clean water when the men in charge don’t supply it to them? How can you ensure that your fellow Samgolan can drive on functioning roads when the men in charge don’t pay for them? How can you ensure your fellow Samgolan can live happily when the men in charge refuse to work for them? These are our issues. Clamping down on the corruption of our government should always take precedence, because our society will not function so long as members of our government are off of self-interest.”

“Secondly,” Yembe continued, “to boost the economy and encourage growth within Samgola we must maintain the free market. Allowing foreign investors to build on our lands will spur natural and profitable growth within our markets. Removing arbitrary restrictions, collaborating with our neighbors, giving small business the opportunity to compete, all will ultimately lead to a massive spur in growth. Our nation’s economy will become both stronger and healthier when our government encourages free market activities. Something unseen and unheard of in Samgola in nearly two decades.”

Yembe stood quietly awaiting for his question within the debate, until eventually his turn came along. A young man named Mahmoud Farra approached the microphone and began to speak. “You have promise on multiple occasions to fight and oppose corruption in your campaign. What laws would you implement, charge or remove to decrease corruption if you and your party won a majority in the National Assembly?”

Mr. Songè paused for a brief moment, cleared his throat and said “Excellent question, my campaign against corruption is essential to the survival of our democracy. First, I would establish a bipartisan publically funded agency with goals of both decreasing and arresting individuals found within the political system engaging in activities such as bribery, embezzlement, and other forms of malicious government mismanagement. It is the duty of the nations public servants to serve that public, not to take advantage of its citizens. Secondly, I will work to increase the salaries of our state workers to discourage the necessity to rely upon bribery or other forms of illegal activity to make a living wage. I know that the introduction of both a anti-corruption agency and increasing the salaries of public servants will bring about a great amount of positive change in Samgola. Thank you.”

It had been a week before the debate in the capital and Yembe had been preparing. Such a trip would be long, but worthwhile. To finally meet his opponents on the battlefield would be reinvigorating. Speeches and fundraisers are long and dull, exhausting to the point of no return. Unfortunately, he wouldn’t be able to dedicate an entire week to this preparation. The Liberal Democrats, eager to secure the Christian voter base, had devised a speech in which he would voice support for both a strong military and traditional relationships.

“My fellow Samgolans, the wounds of the civil war still bleed red. Homes destroyed, brothers and sons lost, entire livelihoods ruined. A tragedy that must never be repeated. It was the weakness of our military and the corruption of our generals that lead to this disgraceful war. I will ensure such humiliation and destruction never happens again. We will restructure and strengthen our armed forces. Together, united as a nation, we will be strong.”




Liberal Democrats


To the average Samgolan it would seem that the Liberal Democrats had been running a successful campaign, albeit slow and careful, however Yembe’s recent speech on corruption had ignited a long dormant fire within the party. Endorsements and long time supporters calling into question the legitimacy of the party, politicians making backroom deals, long time friends distancing themselves from the target that Yembe had placed onto his back. Indeed, Yembe had begun an internal power struggle. A silent, but active war against their own members.

This was the risk that the Liberal Democrats had made with the selection of Mr. Songè as a presidential candidate, he had been a relatively honest individual despite his egregious connections to the Liberal Democrats. Ignorant of the powerbase that he drew his influence from. For now, the agenda was clear for Yembe. Remove the vile corruption that eats away at Samgola.

His visit in Olouye would be brief, but he would begin his speech precise and clear, “It would seem as though the root of the corruption that plagues out countries has turned its ugly head once again. We see the longstanding consequences of these vile acts in the recent raping and pillaging that has occured once again by the so called “Islamic Army”. Run by incompetent generals and radicalized fools who continue to fight a war that has long ended. Why? Power. They desire control over our lands. To carve out pieces of the country. They are nothing but warmonger's and criminals. Better executed for their crimes then returned to society.

Trust me my fellow Samgolans, we must root out these figures from society. They are but another symptom of the long standing plague of our democracy. Let them be another example of the incompetence and ineptitude of a democracy that doesn’t serve the people! United we will remain strong. Samgola for Samgolans!”

It had only been a week into the presidential campaign, yet to Yembe it had felt as though it had gone on for years. Polling information, strategy, and speeches every waking moment. For it to be over would be a sigh of relief to the tired old man. To show this exhaustion however would be a death sentence. The Liberal Democrats needed a trusted member to run, and so here he is. Today would be the first major speech in the presidential run, after a successful fundraiser.

“Fellow citizens of Samgola, these past ten years our republic has been in shambles. Torn apart by the corruption and greed of both incompetent and radical partisans. Whether we are to suffer under the presidency of puppet leaders, the anguish of foreign governance, or communist extremism, the roots are all the same. Lead by corrupt and evil men. Men who don’t care about their fellow man, but only self gain and preservation. These men are not fit to lead Samgola!

If our mighty republic is to stand the test of time, united and free it must remove the corruption from the ground up. We must ensure that we are no longer subject to foreign overlords, we must ensure that we are no longer subject to the whims of corrupt administrations, we must ensure that we are no longer subject to the terror of extremists. Freedom will prevail.

It is here that I will promise, upon my election, that I will destroy this corruption. The plague of our political administration. The root of our sorrows. The death of our democracy. We will be a free Samgola. A pure Samgola. A Samgola for Samgolans!”
