Gautier Adnet

Gautier Adnet (June 29, 1932 - April 9, 2005) was a Sagofagi politician. He served as President of Sagofagia from 1993 to 1998. He was a member of the Party for Progress and Prosperity.
== Presidency ==
In 1993, Adnet was elected as the President of Sagofagia, defeating inclumbent President Rufo Devoto. One of his first actions as president was to grant independence to Kovosasia, a region that had been in conflict with the Sagofagi government for several years. This move was seen as a bold and progressive decision, and it earned Adnet praise from the international community.
However, Adnet's presidency was not without controversy. In 1996, he did a self-coup, dissolving Parliament and taking full control of the government. This move was met with widespread condemnation from the international community and sparked protests within the country. Adnet defended his actions by stating that he needed to maintain stability and ensure progress for the country.
=== Corruption ===
Adnet's government was also plagued by allegations of corruption. It was reported that he and his family embezzled millions of dollars from the state treasury for personal gain. The growing discontent among the people and the deteriorating economy led to the outbreak of the Sonalali War in 1997.
=== Sonalali War ===
The Sonalali province wanted independence and a group of rebels led by Armand Ardouin started riots in the streets of Savrona. The response of the Sagofagi government, which was seen as heavy-handed and oppressive, led to even more protests. The original protesters and new rebels formed the Sonalali Freedom Movement (SFM), which quickly gained support from the international community.
In January 1998, the SFM took control of the first major city Ogniati, and later moved south, taking over Saint-Pierre and Nozieres. The situation continued to escalate, with civilian casualties mounting and the Sagofagi government facing criticism for its handling of the conflict.
On 8 February 1998, Sagofagi forces launched a three-pronged ground attack towards Savrona in an attempt to regain control. However, the civilian losses quickly mounted, alienating the Sonalali population and increasing the hostility towards the Sagofagi forces. As a reaction to the violence, Dalanic President Juan Despalas began supplying the SFM with weapons.
=== Downfall ===
Feeling the pressure from the ongoing crisis and deteriorating health, Adnet announced his resignation on 24 September 1998. Many speculated that a palace-coup took place, orchestrated by rival Yves Beaux, who had been critical of Adnet's policies and handling of the crisis in Sonalalia. He was succeeded by Yves Beaux as the President of Sagofagia.
