Henry Botaba has been driving delivery trucks between Celesteville and Solomon most of his life. In the years following the Ostrich War, lots of people commented about his uncanny resemblance to General Mbuni. He started doing commercials in the region, playing the former dictator for laughs. His biggest role was playing the dictator in some scene recreations for a Netflix documentary on the Ostrich War.

Oh my goodness. This is getting meta.

I was inspired by Jerry Haleva, he's an actor whose career took off in the 90s thanks to his resemblance to Sadam Hussien.

Oh boy, it's so friggin' weird to see "General Mbuni" as friendly and happy man... 0.o

It's safe to say when the General is happy, there is probably some mass casualties involved.

Yeah, all things considered, it's usually not a good sign when Mbuni actually is in a good mood...

Gotta be weird to resemble someone famous. Especially if they're famous for not-so-good things.

Nothing good can come of this.
