DEMOCRACY: Bassong Administration (1993-)

Week 11, November 1993


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


Half way through November, they came for Mahol. The Provincial Police and select members of the Samgolan Army were summarily dispatched to Bourem and given orders to disarm and the S.D.S.F. and apprehend Zan Mahol. There was some discussion within Samgola Dawn circles about resisting or fleeing the country, but Mahol was apprehended at 9:01 A.M. at the Samgola Dawn research center. He, and 21 other aides were arrested. Throughout the week nearly 800 S.D.S.F. members were apprehended, but distinguishing between those members who were members of the Samgola Dawn party and those were part of the S.D.S.F. was difficult as there was no official roll call. On November 19th, Mahol was arraigned in Kamidye and given an official court date for the beginning of his trial at the Kamidye 1st Circuit Court: January 12th, 1994. The Bassong administration made no provisions or requests on Zan Mahol's position as Party Leader of the Samgola Dawn leadership. [Samgola Dawn loses -800 Activists. Samgola Dawn loses 3 Strength. Samgola Dawn loses 7.50% Trustworthiness. Democratic Alliance for Reform, Liberal Democrats and Samgolan Patriotic Party gains +1 Strength and +2.50% Trustworthiness.

The first campaigning in Dabrado begins with candidates from the Labour Front and Samgolan Patriotic Party hitting the ground early for the one seat up for election. And the Freedom Health Act passes. The bill, per the Constitution of Samgola will immediately go into effect. [Liberal Democrats may add this bill to their dossier on their Character Sheets.]

Additionally, the Samgolan Technocratic Union's attempt to privatize the Kamidye Rail with the Kamidye Rail Line Construction Bill failed 43-139, with only meager support coming from capitalist Liberal Democrats. The work on the Kamidye Rail Line Expansion was slated to officially begin in early December, but reports reached the Ministry of Welfare that the 21.3% unemployment rate had begun to have side effects. It was now an estimate almost one out of every twelve was now Samgolans was without a home. The Kamidye Rail Line had hired nearly 17,000 new contractors in anticipation of the one hundred and thirty million dollar expansion program.

With unemployment still at 21.3% but expected to drop after the Kamidye Line Expansion begins, the amount of Samgolans unable to afford to pay their bills had continued to drop and it was being reported that in Tenkossé City and Kamidye homeless was approaching double digits, while in the outlying rural areas was significantly lower but still prominent enough to be reported by the Bureau of Welfare.

Week 9, November 1993


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


Zaryn Harkov was an interesting figure. His past was relatively unknown and his future even less certain. He was fortunate enough to have spent nearly all of his life in the Province of Dabrado. With 140,000 votes he managed to swoop up the Fourth Assembly Seat there out of Tenkossé City, appealing mostly to the patriotic fervor there. The Ultranationalist Party was weakly funded and Zaryn Harkov was not a well established candidate. In fact, he did not even appear in the National Assembly in the two months the government had been assembled and his party recorded an abstention for every single vote since the election.

His death was equally as anomalous, and the headline read: MNA PASSES QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT citing lingering health concerns. He died, at age 36, in his home in Tenkossé City. Whether the Bureau of Security would investigate the issue further was unknown, but by decree of the Constitution, for every seat available an election was to be held. In the absence of a Member of the National Assembly, an election would be held. This election would last six weeks and any Political Party could sponsor a candidate and campaign as they wished. If not, that was also possible. [Every Political Party that wishes to Campaign in Dabrado can PM the GM the following: Name of the Candidate.

Bourem, Ziwa Province

The Samgola Dawn Security Force, an ad-hoc section of Samgola Dawn activists who had been ordered into the province at the behest of Party Leader Zan Mahol had been going door to door to recruit new members. The allegations that the S.D.S.F were conducting themselves in an aggressive and militant way were vehemently refused and an attempt to interview one of the members by the Samgolan Ziwa Main Station News Channel was refused. Instead, Zan Mahol met with [REDACTED], speaking briefly with him regarding the issues that Ziwa was facing. The S.D.S.F continued to peruse the territory, ensuing that the party line was followed.

DEMOCRACY: Bassong Administration (1993-)

Week 8, October 1993


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


The Bassong Administration, in conjunction with the Minister of Defense decided to mobilize the 4th "Onige" Infantry Division into the province of Ziwa. Near the end of October the infantry division left it's home in Goupouy, Onige province and headed toward Ziwa. The division with a paper strength of 8,800 men was closer to 6,500, but had the 12 Panhard VBL armored vehicles for it's mobile force recon platoon. They would reach the province three days later on October 30th. These would conduct patrols between the villages where the citizens there were most vulnerable. President Bassong had decided that the big stick was best carried softly and officially adopted the policy of Preemptive Community Policing and Deescalating Lawlessness as the national domestic idea for handling the National Militias.


French purchased Panhard VBL


Mobilizing the infantry division would not be a priceless affair and it was estimated they weir deployment would cost between $25,000,000 and $33,000,000 a month. Among the Panhard VBL's was a veritable fleet of British purchased Range Rover U.V.L's, which officers and small squads of soldiers could use to travel the province along what dirt roads were available. There were no immediate effects of the mobilization of the 4th, who had barely finished entering the territory by the end of the month.

The Expansion of the Kamidye Rail Line began. In order to expand Kamidye's public transport infrastructure to make it easier for Samgolans from all walks of life in our nation's capital to have access to all sections of their city and to more easily commute to and from their place of work, our government has doubled spending on the Kamidye Rail Line. Part of this increased spending will go towards more regular maintenance on existing rail lines, to increase the quality of service that the residents of Kamidye can expect from their public transportation system. The rest of the additional funding is assigned towards an expansion of the Kamidye Rail Line itself, extending the system to southern sections of the city previously left without a reliable system of public transportation. These significant investments are in keeping with the promises of President Samuel Bassong to improve upon infrastructure in our nation's urban areas.

While the Samgolan Technocratic Union had proposed the Kamidye Rail Line Construction Bill, which would appropriate private businesses for the benefit of the expansion, work began in earnest as the Samgolan Constitution required passed bills without an effective date to begin immediately.

To those unfamiliar with the Samgolan culture and history of provincial protectors, the National Militias seemed anomalous in nature. Adhering to their own code, they were self-supplied raiders that--as their leader, Mostafa Lahbibi preached--did not "participate in the politics of neocolonialist nation states held up by the West." The Islamic Army lived up to its namesake, sticking mostly to the heavily rural, impoverished Muslim majorities in the border states where the Samgolan state existed only on paper. The Islamic Army had its own uniforms, its own code of honor and its own laws. In many villages and settlements, the community lived under this codex and in reward reaped the benefit of local protection from Lahbibi's soldiery. At it's apex in 1991, the Islamic Army comprised nearly 22,000 recruits, and the claim of its strength, without the turned cheek of Rubusana, was now muddled.


Soldiers of the Islamic Army, circa 1992

On October 7th, President Bassong signed Executive Order 16, authorizing an attachment of the Samgolan Army to head into Ziwa to dissuade a potential attack from Lahbibi's army. The question, relevant to be discussed in one of the eight meetings with Minister of Security David Desange, President Bassong and Minister of Defense Oluwasegun Teleola that took place between September 30th and October 5th was the intended strength of the intended detachment. General of the Samgolan Army, Yemi Farose argued that a strong presence was the only answer in order to "reestablish the Samgolan state within Samgolan boundaries." It was undetermined the position of Minister of Defense Oluwasegun Teleola, though there was no doubt he would most certainly put in his own opinion. Taking on the National Militias was not to be such a black and white issue.

To the disenfranchised masses there, the Islamic Army performed kind--some might suggest humanitarian--acts such as bringing supplies to geographically hard to reach villages, running out and even having public trials of criminals in the region and protecting Muslims from the separate but no less radical Christian militias that were less numerical but just as zealous. While sending out the Samgolan Army into the hinterland was an easy task, establishing the policy of the army was another task all together.

The Liberty Coalition after over a month of deliberation instead sought to enact only minor reform for the 1993-1994 Budget. The budget was inserted into the Assembly without debate or room for discussion and immediately called to a vote by Prime Minister Ephraim Yombi.

The Samgolan Patriotic Party began working with Samgola Dawn to make needed changes to the National Monuments War Bill while voting for the budget began.

DEMOCRACY: Bassong Administration (1993-)

Week 3, September 1993


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

Two weeks has passed and the Liberty Coalition had not yet made a motion to fund the Samgolan state. The Samgola Dawn introduced the National War Monuments Bill and the newest Member of the National Assembly, Ahmar Jurhen arrived in Kamidye to take on his duties in the legislature. The saddening fact that one in five Samgolans was without a job remained the sore point of the day, with nearly 24/7 news coverage. Among that, the National Militias seemed poise to strike again, with rumors circulating that they had pulled back into neighboring Nigeria to prepare for a cross border assault on Ziwa.

A Fundraiser for the Samgolan Technocratic Union was successful, although the overall support for the party was still modest at best. In total, the S.T.U raised nearly a quarter of a million Kamar ($264,000) into the Party Funds back in Kamidye. Similarly, MNA Jurhen gave a fiery speech on the issue of the National Militias in Ziwa, and the other Assembly members responses were pending.

DEMOCRACY: Bassong Administration (1993-)



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


September, 1993

The election had ended with a clear victory with Samuel Bassong and his Democratic Alliance for Reform. Without a clear majority, Bassong took little time in navigating the political waters by offering the Liberal Democrats and the Samgolan Patriotic Party a hand in the Bassong government. They took it, with even former presidential candidate Yembe Songé being appointed as Minister of Trade & Finance. The Bassong Administration officially took office some fifty odd days later on September 5th, 1993.

The government formed, September began the official commencement of the National Assembly, 228 members, democratically elected. The nation's first order of business was appropriating a budget for the 1993-1994 fiscal year. The nation was in debt, but not terribly so. National Militias still prowled the outlying territories.


Makeup of the National Assembly, 1993


With the first Session of the National Assembly now taking place, the legislative body was now available to begin conducting itself according to the docket.


Actions available to all Political Parties


EVENT: Tambe Mahumbo, a former Lieutenant-Colonel in the Samgolan Army and running for a member of the National Assembly in Ziwa, was set to leave his province to head to Kamidye after the election. Unfortunately, while taking his personal vehicle out of town, he crashed. Medical services determined he was dead upon arriving on the scene. Another election was held: turnout was low, at only 19%. With a vote of less than 15,000 votes to a measly 13,000 votes, a member of the Samgolan Technocratic Union was elected, a party that was known only in the shadier and less popular neighborhoods around town.
