Adongo also won the following presidential election in 2007. According to the Nyobi Observatory of Human Rights, a non-governmental organization, the election was marked by "very low" turnout and "fraud and irregularities". In 2014 Adongo announced that he wanted to run for yet another term in office and a constitutional referendum in October resulted in a changed constitution which allowed him to run during the 2014 presidential election. He won the election believed by many to be fraudulent. After violent protests in the capital, Adongo attacked the Byea region, where the Kron rebels of the civil war used to be based, in what was believed to be a distraction. This led to a revival of the Kron rebels who launched attacks against the army in 2017, leading 142,000 people to flee their homes. A ceasefire deal was signed in 2019.
== Government ==
DRN has had a multi-party political system since the late 1990s, although the system is heavily dominated by President Ogwang Adongo; he has lacked serious competition in the presidential elections held under his rule. Ogwang Adongo is backed by his own Nyobian Free Democratic Party as well as a range of smaller parties.
Adongo regime has been hit by corruption revelations despite attempts to censor them. One Norgsveldet investigation found over 212 bank accounts and dozens of lavish properties in Norgsveldet; Adongo denounced embezzlement investigations as "racist" and "colonial".
In 2014, Ogwang Adongo announced that his government would hold a referendum on changing the country's 2005 constitution to allow him to run for a third consecutive term in office. The government held a referendum to allow Ogwang Adongo to run in the next election. The government claimed that the proposal was approved by 97% of voters with 81% of eligible voters participating. The opposition, who boycotted the referendum, said that the government's statistics were false and the vote was a fake one.
The election raised questions and was accompanied by civil unrest and police shootings of protesters; at least 32 people were killed by security forces during opposition rallies leading up to the 2020 referendum to be held in October.
=== Human Rights ===
Many NWA belong from birth to Bantus in a relationship many refer to as slavery. The Kuthern Human Rights Observatory says that the NWA are treated as property the same way "pets" are. In 2019, the Nyobian parliament adopted a law for the promotion and protection of the rights of indigenous peoples.
== Geography ==
The DNR is located in the central-western part of sub-Saharan Gondwana, along the Equator. To the west of it is the [[Central Republic Of Nyo]]. It is also bounded by [[Hawa]] to the North, and [[Zawadi]] to the northeast. The capital, Ujana, is located on the Nyo River & Lake in the east of the country, immediately across from Bahata, the capital of the Central Gondwanan Republic Of Nyo.
The southwest of the country is a coastal plain for which the primary drainage is the Haakon River; the interior of the country consists of a central plateau between two basins to the south and north. Forests are under increasing exploitation pressure.
Since the country is located on the Equator, the climate is consistent year-round, with the average day temperature a humid 74 °F and nights generally 65 °F. The average yearly rainfall ranges from 65 in in the Baha Valley in the south to over 87 in in central parts of the country. The dry season is from June to August, while in the majority of the country the wet season has two rainfall maxima: one in March–May and another in September–November.
