Revolution's Day: Brother Unclepear is the new leader of Bruuma

The day has come. In a pharaonic ceremony held today in Bayougrad, Papa Unclepear has passed the reins of power to his successor Brother Unclepear. The aging revolutionary, who for sixty-four years acted as the living god and absolute ruler of the Voodoo People's Republic of Bruuma, bid farewell to its people from a balcony facing the main square of the capital, packed with people from a crowd of a million streching all over the city.

The rare spectacle of a whole country standing still and silent was offered to the world during the long speech of the Eternal Leader. Papa Unclepear explained his retirement as "not the end, merely the beginning of the journey to a superior state of existence" where he "will take his place with the Masters and the Loas, living forever as the spirit of Bruuma itself and watching eternally on its people". He praised his successor, saying that "he is the next avatar of the idea of Bruuma, prepared for his role from his birth and at the same time his successor and reincarnation, to forward the revolution and the country into another century".

As many began to sob uncontrollably, Brother Unclepear took the microphone, beginning his first speech as the new Dear Leader of Bruuma by extensively lauding his predecessor, calling him, among other titles "the saviour of the nation", "the most perfect and pure revolutionary", "the apex of the history of mankind" and "a God, who will be our Eternal Leader forever". Brother Unclepear then procedeed to briefly confirm the country's current political stand, both internal and external, praising the role of both the Workers' Mojo Party and the Bruuman People's Defence Forces (some noticed, with the exact and same number of words each).

Papa Unclepear, who took the time to personally salute and praise the leaders of the alliend countries present there, Puerto Pollo and Kai Fa to begin with, then said goodbye to its country, its people and perhaps the rest of the world, with a single sentence, the motto which he imposed to a whole country: "Powers to the People".

The rest of the day, Revolution Day* festivity, followed with a pompous string of parades, ceremonies and other celebrations of the regime and the man that created it. As we write, celebrations have turned into a more festive mood as the time has come to be happy for the rise to power of Brother Unclepear.

Official sources states that Papa Unclepear will now retire to prepare himself for his "ascension" to the afterlife, but what this mean is unclear, other than he will disapper from public view. As maybe the last political vestige of the XX century comes to an end, the attention is focused on what will be written on the new chapter. For the moment, what is certain is that we are seeing history in the making.

*Revolution Day marks the day in which the Workers' Mojo Party declared the armed struggle against the colonial dominion on Bruuma in 1936. The founding day of the Party is unknown, being someday of 1931.
