Masi Kamusan

Masi Laysing Kamusan (1964) is a Ceneshi politician who has served as president of Cenesh since 2012. Before joining Cenesh Together, which he is the head of, he was known for his involvement and leadership within the Great Lake Student Movement, a student movement behind month-long protests, riots and opposition to the "Great Lake Dictators," a series of undemocratic leaders around the Great Lake area in 1986. 
He was arrested by Ceneshi dictator Vano Salabinan, along with other leaders of the movement, and sentenced to life imprisonment. Following the 1989 coup d'état in which Salabinan was overthrown and killed, Masi and the other leaders were released. Masi studied at the Akabu Gao University, and later joined the Ceneshi army. He fought in the War of Lao Petah, in which Cenesh forces were sent to aid Yisurian military in fighting Ubanian aggression. He returned home in 2003.
Following a brief enrolment at Qeelsia State University, where he became certified in military leadership strategy, he joined Cenesh Together in 2010, and quickly rose through the ranks, mainly due to his status as a political prisoner, and his leadership skills.
== Early life ==
== Controversies ==
Kamusan has been subject to several controversies regarding his political career, actions in the Great Lake Student Movement, involvement in the War of Lao Petah, West Linacian Unification movement, and some policies during his presidential career.
=== Great Lake rioting and violence ===
The Great Lake Student Movement engaged in several violent riots, which Kamusan was a part of. In 2015, Kamusan admitted to "setting plenty of things on fire" during the protests. This fact, coupled with Kamusan laughing and joking about the situation, caused several political opponents to criticize Kamusan, some jokingly calling him "Warm Masi." Kamusan later said, regarding the violence of the Great Lake Student Movement: "Many things took place which were not exactly civil or kind, but it was, for us, the only way to show our leaders how serious we were. We were not just a bunch of kids, as the dictators referred to us as, we were a serious political movement, and we were going to change the world, no matter the cost. I regret nothing."
=== Lao Petah war crimes ===
Ceneshi military forces were accused of war crimes by the Ubanian government in 2008. Kamusan, being the commander of his unit, was summoned to provide answers to the inquires and allegations from the Ubanians. Kamusan maintained that no war crimes were ever commited during the Lao Petah war by Ceneshi forces, and that if anyone "got out of line," they were sent home. Kamusan provided paperwork showing that of the 357 soldiers who were sent home during the war, 321 were sent home with serious injuries, 22 were sent home for disorderly conduct not connected to any criminal action, 10 were sent home due to voluntary termination of their military contract, and only 4 were accused of criminal conduct. These 4 were later found not guilty by a Ceneshi court, but were discharged from the military.
