The modern conception of the genre became prevalent in the 1980s with the popularity of the genre amongst the Bahian diaspora, in particular the success of [[Garambura|Garamburan]] artist Chloe Kolisi, but its original forms can be traced back to the mid 1960s in [[Mabifia]] where such music was seen as a way of combining traditional sounds with modern, especially Euclean, techniques as a revolt against the socialist regime of Fuad Onika. It is marked by its usage not only of traditional instruments such as the {{wp|balafon}}, but also Euclean instruments like the {{wp|electric guitar}} and even {{wp|digital music software}} in contemporary pieces. Despite its origins in the traditional {{wp|Mandinka people|Bélé}} Houregic caste, Djeli pop was quickly adopted by singers of other ethnic backgrounds. Its first star was Honorine Uwineza, an ethnically {{wp|Banyarwanda|Barobyi}} singer who saw limited international success, but due to Mabifia's international isolation the genre remained highly local until its adoption by Garamburan artists in the 1970s. Thanks to the international connections of [[Mambiza|Sainte-Germaine]], Djeli pop was able to attain international success. While Garamburan Djeli pop was initially related to the independence struggle due to its Mabifian links, it eventually became associated with the [[Pan-Bahianism|Pan-Bahian movement]]. This has continued to the modern day, and despite the prevalence of diasporic artists the focus of Djeli pop remains an embrace of Bahian traditions and pride in Bahian culture. Its popularity is not constrained to the Bahian population and diaspora, as its association with {{wp|anti-imperialism}} and {{wp|urban culture}} has led to the rise of a subculture in several Euclean nations.

The National Assembly of the Socialist Republic of Menghe (Menghean Sinmun: 대멩 사회주의 궁화국 국민 의회, Menghean Gomun: 大孟社會主義共和國國民議會, pr. Dae Meng Sahoejuyi Gonghwaguk Gukmin Yihoe), often abbreviated as National Assembly (국회 / 國會, Gukhoe) is the unicameral legislative body of the Socialist Republic of Menghe. It convenes at the National Assembly Building in Donggyŏng. Each of Menghe's Province-level entities serves as a large multi-member district, with a number of seats proportional to its population. The total number of seats is fixed at 278, with the Chairman of the Supreme Council casting a tie-breaking vote in the event of a deadlock. Elections for the National Assembly are held every five years on July 14th, with the most recent election taking place in 2019. Candidates are elected from closed party lists, and each district's seats are allocated on the basis of party-list proportional representation. Until recently, only the three parties in the regime-sanctioned UFNR coalition were permitted to run in elections, a rule which guaranteed that even with competitive voting the Menghean Socialist Party would maintain full control of the Assembly. This rule was lifted in 2019, when opposition candidates were allowed to run for the first time under a unified "Independent" party list. (See more...)
