I do not believe so.

What values did you choose?

Absolutely. Did you fill out an application using the Google Form?

April 8th
The Brick & Mortar Act continues to pave the way for the destruction of unemployment and removing homelessness--but the fundamental issue of how far the Brick & Mortar Act could go would soon become a point of contention in the National Assembly. Many of the companies awarded contracts and funds were already looking at the end of the proverbial road map and what options were available to them to 'wipe their hands clean' after the profits had stopped rolling in. That being said, the Brick & Mortar Act remained Samgola's largest work relief and economic stimulus program in history. It's effects would be felt for decades to come. [-0.81% Unemployment]

April 9th
The formal dissolution of the Samgolan Patriotic Party would not come for some many months, but on April 9th, 1994--less than seven months into the Bassong Administration, Minister of Justice Inge Gaza was called to give testimony on his actions on December 15th, 1993 and January 13th, 1993 when he ordered both the "destruction of evidence" and "obstruction of justice." Gaza, for reasons unknown, although many suggested Liberal Democrats had evidence of personal wrongdoing on Gaza's wife, Gaza admitted to the crimes of corruption and handed in his resignation. The blow came as a major shock to the Bassong Administration, as Gaza--for all intents and purposes--destroyed damning evidence on Zan Mahol that could have potentially lead to major crimes against the state. [The Minister of Justice resigns. -20% Approval for Minister of Justice.]

April 10th

April 1st
Minister of State & Foreign Affairs Charles Mbeya is admitted to see the South African president F. W. de Klerk. Klerk was mostly unimpressed that the Samgolans had come--not in search of friendship or diplomacy--but largely in reaction to the economic tariffs levied against Samgola. Klerk was adamant that the tariffs were necessary for the coming year, considering an election was coming up, South Africa needed to appear strong. [Trade Relations with South Africa set to Minor Tariffs Imposed.] Whether Mbeya would stay to negotiate or leave was up to him.

Hey,

Just joined this forum and have been browsing around...not very used to this kind of stuff, but I can tell the RP you have got going here is something special, and if it's okay, I'd love to join.

Proposing to RP the "Women's Coalition", a party with a special emphasis on improving the rights, welfare and status of women, and putting more women into political office.


Hey @Skyfrog. I'd love to have you. I will tell you that given that the Republic of Samgola is set in a fictional African country in 1994, you will be hard pressed to win significant support given the socially conservative climate. However, I'd love to have you. I have seen the google form.

So if you wish to proceed, you'll need to post IC with the official formation of your party. Feel free to join us in the Discord chat.

March 24th
The Workers Party of Samgola announces March 24th as their creation day. Not a political party, they are a political organization made up of mostly Socialists, Poor and Trade Unionists who wish to use their collective presence within the Workers Party to lobby the government to pass socialist legislation. Since it's beginning, the Liberty Coalition had been a mixed bag of deregulation and spending programs, but the passage of the Aviation Safety Act, as cited by Workers Party President Francis Emuneweke, was the last straw. Continuing to deregulate the market was taking the power of the people. The Workers Party had a small base out of Nambé with just 78 founding members.

FLS 91.5, Flagbearers Listening Post Station

"..tuning into FLS 91.5, the Flagbearer Listening Post. We've got Osiah Esigun on the line. Osiah, can you hear me?"

"I can, Malcolm. Thanks for having me."

"You've officially chartered the FNP, the Flagbearers of Nambé Province, is that right?"

"It is."

"And why is that Osiah?"

"We're tired. We've given the administration a chance but it looks as if they can't handle it."

"Can you explain for the listeners, Osiah?"

"We've got cabinet positions unfilled. Wasteful spending. I've.. I've got family in Ziwa, Malcolm. I cannot even visit them, okay? My sister, in your very own city, is in JAIL. The Justice Bureau told her, 'we'll help you,' over and over. They did nothing! They lied to her, Malcolm."

With the element of surprise on their side, General Biya's report cited: ".. mixed results of the operation were linked to the request by the Bureau [of Defense] to take prisoners, which undoubtedly reduced the effectiveness of the operator's mission parameters.
