Sameera Junaid Hassan a
writer and a journalist was brought up in a family friend’s home after her
father, an ex-military officer was disappointed with her birth for not being
the son he passionately wished to have. Sameera comes to harm’s way when she
published a book The Law of the Jungle
which becomes the biggest challenge of the military. Few days after the
publication, she goes missing.
New young military officers
under the leadership of Brigadier Saleem Sa’ada strikes and overthrows the
regime of General Danjuma. The new military regime designs a five year
transition programme to bring power to its rightful owners, the democratic
government. As the elections approach, a political party-UPP comes to Sameera
and lobbies her to accept their presidential ticket. After a protracted race,
she wins the seat and becomes an instant political figure in the world.
Following her inaugural speech, she intends to actualise her vision of a united
economically and politically vibrant African continent as the United States of
Africa.
