Malik el Sami yn Nasser(مالك السامي ين ناصر ) is a politician and tribal leader from Rusana and the current Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly. Malik el Sami is the current leader of the Nasser tribe, one of Rusana's largest tribes that resides in the south of the country. While still being a child, he inherited the leadership from his father Nazim el Sami, after the latters assassination by Jamaat-e-Islami five years after the end of the civil war. el Sami leads his own semi-official paramilitary force of twenty thousand men drawn from his Nasser tribesmen known as the Tarouz Revolutionary Council.

He led a revolt against the central government in the 1990's over land disputes. The government's inability to suppress him led to the signing of the Rilayn peace agreements that legitimized his forces and granted him control of vast tracts of land in the southern governorates and significant autonomy to exploit them without any central oversight. He also joined the ruling Rusana Patriotic Alliance and became a significant powerbroker in the government. In 2025 he was elected to be Deputy Speaker in an election rumored to be plagued by bribery and intimidation of fellow deputies. Most ordinary Rusanis consider Malik el Sami to be a bandit and a warlord who has climbed to his present station through the use of force while members of the elite see him as indispensable to keeping the ruling alliance in power.
