The Democratic United States of Nigeria and Cameroon
New Consitution Officially Ratified
Union of Nigeria and Cameroon confirmed
After months of careful negotiation, the governments of both Nigeria and Cameroon have confirmed that an agreement has been reached on a new constitution for a united Nigeria and Cameroon. The talks had gone extremely well and the union is expected to be completed next year when the first elections shall be held.
The constitution creates a three-tiered political system and allows each country - and the individual states within - considerable control over local interests. The aim of the constitution according to it's writers, Nigerian Senator John Obi and Cameroonian Home Secretary Arman Mokoena, is to allow more control to rest in the hands of local state governments but still retaining overall control in the hands of the President and the Senate.
President Mubarak Mustafa of Nigeria was alongside President Ephraim Biyi of Cameroon as the constitution was unveiled. It is expected to easily pass through both Houses of the Nigerian congress and the parliament in Cameroon. President Mustafa spoke of his joy at the new constitution:
"Today is a proud day for both Cameroon and Nigeria. We stand united once more and together we can both offer a stronger force in the fight to end poverty and war in Africa. Our peoples are tied now by the bonds of nationhood but still retain their independence, an independence we have fought so hard for. I stand here alongside the honourable President Biyi as we together welcome in a new hope for prosperity for our people."
The general feeling in both nations seems to be good towards the constitution. Although there are some dissidents against it they are mostly in the minority and most Nigerians and Cameroonians seem ready to trust their leaders judgement and await to see if the union will bring them the prosperity they so depserately wish for.
President Mubarak Mustafa Proposes New Alliance
President Mubarak Mustafa will today begin a world-wind tour of Africa to promote the newly formed
'African Coalition for Peace' (ACP). The organization is set-up to promote peace in Africa and work towards broad cross-nation agreements on tackling "poverty, disease and violence" across the continent. The President's spokesman said the President was "extremely hopeful" of coercing the other leaders of Africa to join the group.
President Plans Visits To USA And USE
The President is preparing to make visits to the USA and USE later this year to discuss African poverty and other international issues. The trips will be made alongside Cameroonian President, Ephraim Biyi, ahead of the union of both nations. Both men are expected to talk with the leaders of the USA and USE on several different issues aswell as looking at how both these huge nations have managed to maintain a strong cohesion despite so many different nationalities and peoples within their nations.

How long before your nation betrays us again I wonder? Although I am a forgiving man and, maybe against my better judgement, I'm prepared to accept your token attempt to improving our relations. I might also suggest at this point we consider the creation of an organization aimed at co-ordinating oil prices to protect both our industries interests.
Yours,
President Mubarak Mustafa
