Filipe Nyusi

**Filipe Jacinto Nyusi** (February 12, 1969 -) was a Ducistian politician who served as the 5th President of Ducist between October 1, 2015 and his impeachment on November 5, 2024, as well as the 4th Vice President of Ducist during the second presidency of Thabo Mbeki between October 1, 2010 and October 1, 2015, and as Chairman of Ascendency between September 25, 2015 and November 5, 2024.

Entering into politics in 2000 in the senatorial elections that year as a member of Thabo Mbeki's Ascendency party, Filipe Nyusi served as health minister in Mbeki's government thanks to his industry prowess, before returning to the opposition in parliament in 2010 with Ascendency's loss to President Kgalema Motlanthe in the 2010 Ducist Presidential Election. Joining Thabo Mbeki's 2015 campaign as his running mate for the vice presidency, Nyusi joined Mbeki in office on October 1, 2015 and would serve out the whole term in office, winning election as the next leader of Ascendency in September 2015 and entering into the 2015 Ducist Presidential Election as his party's candidate.

Winning election following the end of President Thabo Mbeki's second term in office, Filipe Nyusi was inaugurated as President of Ducist on October 1, 2015 and immediately renewed the flagship policy of his predecessor, the Black Economic Empowerment Act, much to the praise of his party and the wider public, opening up large swathes of the population for higher paid, more rewarding jobs, whilst also allowing the economy to grow by an average rate of 6% a year during his first term thanks to libertarian policies on regulation and measurement. Along the same lines, President Nyusi re-negotiated trade deals with Dunsteen, the Libirachi Empire and secured a non-intervention pact with Bovido Has in 2018 upon the appointment of Hazael Buller to the titles of Archbishop and Emperor; following the 2019 Libirachi Coup d'état, Filipe Nyusi was a strong proponent of the new regime from a pragmatic standpoint and became the first world leader to visit Beijing following the Coronation of Fox I in 2019.

Nearing the end of his first term, conflict between his two major allies, the Libirachi Empire and Bovido Has, began to spew over into outright warfare as the Has Wars broke out in 2020 with the Assassination of Hazael Buller, leaving Bovido Has in the hands of two hardliner proponents of the Final Testament, causing Nyusi to abandon the non-interference pact and begin sending financial support to his Libirachi allies during the two year war. With the Federation of Ducist having been backed up by Libirachi loans and funding since the late 1970s, Filipe Nyusi found himself in a difficult position following the death of Libirachi Empress Laura Fox in 2022 and ultimately sided with the Confederacy of Independent Nations after Penny Fox took over the Libirachi government, judging the new regime there to be incompatible with the Ducistian regime and as such the Nyusi government began funding Almac Docu's regime to try and gain favour in the case of a CIN victory in the civil war.

Having angered the regime in Beijing, the Libirachi Imperial Security Bureau spent the remainder of the war attempting to topple the Nyusi regime, although due to the taxing demands of the war the Ducist government wasn't toppled until 2024 where members of Ascendency on the payroll of the ISB began to clamour for Nyusi's resignation, before corruption and warmongering charges were launched against Filipe Nyusi leading to his impeachment on November 5, 2024, leading to Vice President João Lourenço taking over the office of president.

## Presidency

 Vice President

Winning election following the end of President Thabo Mbeki's second term in office, Filipe Nyusi was inaugurated as President of Ducist on October 1, 2015 and immediately renewed the flagship policy of his predecessor, the Black Economic Empowerment Act, much to the praise of his party and the wider public, opening up large swathes of the population for higher paid, more rewarding jobs, whilst also allowing the economy to grow by an average rate of 6% a year during his first term thanks to libertarian policies on regulation and measurement.

Nearing the end of his first term, conflict between his two major allies, the Libirachi Empire and Bovido Has, began to spew over into outright warfare as the Has Wars broke out in 2020 with the Assassination of Hazael Buller, leaving Bovido Has in the hands of two hardliner proponents of the Final Testament, causing Nyusi to abandon the non-interference pact and begin sending financial support to his Libirachi allies during the two year war. With the Federation of Ducist having been backed up by Libirachi loans and funding since the late 1970s, Filipe Nyusi found himself in a difficult position following the death of Libirachi Empress Laura Fox in 2022 and ultimately sided with the Confederacy of Independent Nations after Penny Fox took over the Libirachi government, judging the new regime there to be incompatible with the Ducistian regime and as such the Nyusi government began funding Almac Docu's regime to try and gain favour in the case of a CIN victory in the civil war, sending his minister of foreign affairs Cyril Ramaphosa to numerous meetings with the CIN leader between 2022 and 2024.

Having angered the regime in Beijing, the Libirachi Imperial Security Bureau spent the remainder of the war attempting to topple the Nyusi regime, although due to the taxing demands of the war the Ducist government wasn't toppled until 2024 where members of Ascendency on the payroll of the ISB began to clamour for Nyusi's resignation, before corruption and warmongering charges were launched against Filipe Nyusi leading to his impeachment on November 5, 2024, leading to Vice President João Lourenço taking over the office of president.
