FAKE NEWS🚫🚫❗

Balabloo-blu-bulava heroin drugman and his ECOWAS have finally been thrown to the mud again. You know what is fuelling this putschists rebellion across the African continent?

The unabating impunity, lawlessness, corruption, criminal state capture, and the unrepentant tyrannical grip hold on political power by the useless autocratic power drunks across Africa continent all in the name of democracy. So Tinubu being a bad example and having integrity issues, really lacks will power to secure Nigeria and take drastic measures in sustaining democracy in West African States.

Congo needs liberation and they need it very fast

The Nigerian army is a coward and corrupt.They are also benefitting from this corrupt and bloody civilian coup so they are cool with their dictatorship.

1. It is Republic of Congo, not the DRC...whose capital is in Kinshasha

2.The president of the Republic of Congo...aka Congo-Brazzaville.....is himself a sit tight ruler. Has been there since 1997, and was even there for a spell in the 1970's and 80's.

May God hear the cries of Cameroun. That country need a new government

LOL...you can't compare Congo with Nigeria.

The president Dennis Sassou Nguesso, has been there since 1997. Before then, he was there from 1979-1992.

That's a dictatorship. At least in Nigeria, we see the need for regular change.

Oga, if you want true revolution, START IT YOURSELF. Don't outsoruce it to the army. Army will take over and do the same old corurption

Like that Nguesso. How did he take over the second time? COUP AND REVOLUTION.

ECOWAS don't respect the law.How many laws have Buhari flouted when he was the president?He also disobeyed ECOWAS court too.

Maybe when the oppositon gets its act together and unites, and when Cameroonians are ready to wake up and do the needful...till then, Biya is going to keep on running the show.

The oppositon had a chance in 2007. Only for one opposition ruler to go and do his own thing...and that ended the whole united front.

I think military rule is better than democracy in Africa.

This is another sit tight president.
They make themselves lord.

This is what made blacks loose world power some 6 to 700yrs ago when they were welding power in Europe and scattered all over the world. Their hatred for themselves pushed others to delegate them to the bottom of history and never to come up again. If they hate themselves, is it others they will love. Look at here and Nigeria eg. So much vile and hatred.

It's been confirmed. There's an on-going coup in the Republic of Congo. The President is in the US currently and is reluctant to make any return moves. The coup has been bloodless so far, but should he attempt to return, that situation might change cause the disdain for him is on an extra level.

Congo is not in ECOWAS.
Plus, APC could have been kicked out and Tinubu would have been retired, along with Bubu...if PDP and LP had been UNITED. But no, ego messed up our good chance, and here we are.

Nguesso came into power by a....coup. 1997. His rebel troops chased out the legit government.

At a point if these coup continues, Nigeria military won't have any other option than to join too since our politician are not helping matters.

I don't like Tinubu but he doesn't hold any relevance in this discourse. The Republic of Congo is not in West Africa, so we have no business being dragged into this.

Oga calm down, it doesn't work like that. Who is even given you assurance that if PDP didn't split APC wouldn't have rigged?

This is Nigeria, incumbent party don't loose presidential election. Goodluck Jonathan just allowed that because he is tired of that sit, considering the fact that he is a gentleman too.

Oga, APC beat PDP because PDP SPLIT.

Nothing more, nothing less. PDP split.

We should accept the cold hard truth.

PDP was winning in 2003, 07, and 2011, because the oppositon was split. Buhari lost in 2011, because he gutted ANPP to form his own party CPC. It was when oppositon leaders decided to sink their pride and unite behind Buhari in APC, that they won in 2015.

Atiku and Obi should have at some point buried the hatchet. If they had run a united ticket, the North would have gone for Atiku, combined with the Middle belt and SE and SS vote, APC would have been wiped out...or at worst, runoff.

Article from 3 days ago

Congo Basin poses the highest risk for Africa’s next coup

Like with the most recent West African coups in Burkina Faso, Guinea, Mali, and Niger, five of the six Congo Basin countries are Francophone. One of the common themes in West Africa has been strong anti-French populist rhetoric by the coup leaders.


Predicting where a coup will happen can be a fool’s errand at the best of times because there are too many variables to consider. But noting the conditions that encourage and enable them is a useful exercise because many of those factors apply equally in representative democracies.

The basic question citizens are asking is “what has my government done for me lately?” Survey after survey shows Africans broadly prefer democracy over military rule but if you’d seen the images of celebration of the coup out of Libreville, Gabon last month, you might think the opposite.

Georgetown University political scientist Ken Opalo said there’s a real risk of contagion in the region, especially with long-serving ineffective leaders. “The elevated coup risk in many countries is not necessarily about civilian tolerance of coups — big majorities abhor military rule — but about the failure of civilian rule over the last three decades,” he told me.

It’s worth noting that while surveys often show a preference for democracy in Africa, surveys by polling company Afrobarometer have also shown a high institutional trust in the military in many countries, sometimes higher than local judiciaries. “The military are seeing those numbers too,” noted W. Gyude Moore, a senior fellow at the Center for Global Development. ”So in countries where you have used the security services to keep yourself in power then they (the military) soon understand that they are in fact the ones with the power.”

A case in point was in Gabon where the deposed Ali Bongo, in a widely circulated video, called for the international community and Gabonese people to “make noise” on his behalf. “All of the democratic institutions, political parties, civil society, or media that would defend the constitutional order, had all been systematically undermined by the use of force,” said Moore, who was previously a government minister in Liberia. “The military knows that in all of these cases there is going to be no resistance.”

Well, there is some resistance but most of that has come from France as the loudest critic of the recent trend of coups all of which have happened in its former colonies. There is even an ongoing behind-the-scenes dispute over the aftermath of the Niger coup with the United States, which appears to have taken a more pragmatic approach in response. The French influence interests here run deep, said several of the analysts we spoke with.

“The two countries to watch are Congo Brazzaville and Cameroon,” said Mvemba Dizolele, director of the Africa program at the Washington based Center for Strategic and International Studies. “These are two countries where the French currently have a strong grip, they both have aged leaders who have mismanaged their countries.”

But there’s also a possibility that the French may turn a blind eye to future coup plotters if the governments are unpopular and there are assurances France’s interests will be protected. The Gabon coup is already being framed that way.

That might explain why Cameroon’s President Paul Biya recently reshuffled his top military brass. In Brazzaville, President Denis Sassou Nguesso had a reshuffle back in January but some say family disputes around the 79-year old could provide an opportunity for someone to make a move, including his nephew and intelligence chief Jean-Dominique Okemba. “There are a lot of people there with their own ambitions and their own relationships to France,” explained CSIS’s Dizolele

Go and sit down. Is like you don't understand Nigeria politics.

Since democracy rule, has incumbent party loosed election before apart from Jonathan's regime?

If PDP was one, nothing would have changed. They will still rig it and tell you to go to court, because the judiciary works for incumbent party.

2019 election, if it was conducted free and fair do you think that Buhari would have won his second tenure?

We lost to APC because we are divided. The sooner we accept that truth, the better for 2027.

Senegal and Cameroon should be taking notes. lol

May the Will of God be done in Nigeria. Surely, that drug mogul is never part of that Will.

FAKE NEWS more like it.

The link from OP now shows 500 internal error.


That's it for tonight's coup watch. But still...see the above article from SEMAFOR.

Keep deceiving yourself

Back in 2011, some people were telling CPC supporters that they lost to PDP because they were divided.

Their response was the same as yours.

Good evening. Na you dey decieve yourself.

You are already admitting you lost the 2027 election before it started. Ok.o.
