Description
Hikensi finds it all unbelievable. Taking off from his capital on an early morning flight to Dar es Salaam, where he billed to assume leadership of the African Union, forces beyond his control navigate his presidential jet to London's Heathrow Airport where he is off-loaded on the tarmac, dressed in nothing but his underpants. His transformation from President-for-Life to the low estate of fugitive is dramatic. In twelve breathtaking hours, elements of despotism and cadres for national liberation engage in a mortal combat for the soul of Surbenia. The force of freedom triumphs, for it is Surbenia's Day.
