History

The Anaweim Nation was founded in July 2005 by African diaspora politicians that were devoutly Muslim, The Anaweim nation gained its independence from the now defunct Zububu Federation which had invaded the territory now known as The Anaweim in order to counter an invasion by the brutal regime of the Lord Marshals in Tchad then facing nuclear war with several other nations. President Alhaji

Mahmoud Dan Uthman was inaugurated as the first President of the newly independent nation. Islamic leaders then due to their great political influence paved the way for the Nation to become heavily influenced by Islamic practices and wide reforms aimed at the islamization of the populace and even the christian south. This led to a number of protests, demonstrations and riots from southern christian leaders prompting the goverment to adopt a Federal Charter and a constitution that would define the legal framework of the country. However, problems between the Governments of the Christian south and the islamic regional government in the north mounted with the christian south threatening to secede from the Federation. The Federal Government immediately deployed troops to several major cities in the south to prevent secession and arrested several prominent catholic leaders.

The death of the first president of the Anaweim led to a crisis during which Muhammadu Bintu was inaugurated as head of the Federal Government and given the mandate to restore normalcy to the country which was the under the threat of becoming divided along sectarian lines due to the increasing violence between muslims and christians. Federal Police and even the Army was called in several times to quell the volatile situation. Islamists in the north remained opposed to the Government of Muhammadu Bintu which attempted to introduce several reforms which were aimed at curtailing the power of the muslim clerics and prevent southern christian leaders from going ahead with plans to secede. Negotiations, the threat (use) of military force and other tactics finally ended in a compromise. The Federal Government officially dissolved the control of the islamic clerics at the Federal Level with the Military officially announcing it would use strong measures to preserve the Secularism of the nation.
