As fast as Badr brought in Egyptian teachers, Czech technicians and Yugoslav pilots and maintenance crews, Ahmad deported them. The Red Chinese built a showcase highway from the port of Hodeida to the capital, but after nine months of use, it is pot-holed and partially blocked by landslides...

In the past, a sane, orderly rule was established and maintained in Ilhéus by the most efficient of means: gunfire. Now, in the 1920s, there are modernists who say that gunfire is outdated; the new method is the free election.
