Unfortunately, the peace on Zombo would again be disrupted. The elected president was ousted in a coup led by General Pedroko, a feared military leader who took control of the country as a dictator.

As soon as Pedroko came to power, he imposed a regime of terror on Zombo. He abolished all civil liberties, censored the press and jailed anyone deemed a threat to his authority. Zombo's population lived in a constant state of fear and oppression in the face of the dictator's power.

With the country's economy collapsing, misery and hunger spread throughout the territory. Pedroko imposed a series of strict measures to try to control the situation, but did little to improve the living conditions of the population.

His government was also marked by an intense personality cult: all public spaces were decorated with the dictator's image. His image was everywhere, from the streets to schools and hospitals.

For years, Zombo would live in Pedroko's shadow, until, finally, the international community decided to act. By imposing economic sanctions and cutting off all trade with the country, the other governments tried to pressure Pedroko to step down, but the dictator resisted.

It was only after years of fighting and a massive uprising led by the citizens of Zombo that they finally overthrew Pedroko. The nation once again lived through years of chaos and uncertainty before it was able to find its place as a democratic and peaceful nation.

Today, the memory of Pedroko's regime is a dark and painful memory for the people of Zombo, but they managed to recover, strong and united, in their quest for freedom and a better future.
