"WHY TOO MANY COUPS IN AFRICA?

Coup d'état has been common in Africa for the last two decades. Military upsetting a democratically elected government is now the order of the day. Last year the coup wave hit Mali, two years ago it was Sudan and today it is Guinea.

The infamous Egyptian coup of 2013 was something that sparked a lot of waves. The death rate was over a thousand with the sitting president, Mohammed Morsi been ousted. Also the Zimbabwean coup of 2019 that retired Robert Mugabe was celebrated by a lot of Zimbabweans and even people within Africa. The old man had been in power for three decade. He was more like a monarch than a democratically elected president.

Why is coup common in Africa than in other part of the world? You barely hear of coup in Europe , but in Africa there is a possibility of a coup in every two years in the black continent. Should coup be celebrated?

One reason there is always coup in Africa nations is because of weak institutions. The democracy practiced in many African nations is vulnerable and has a lot of loopholes. Also African leaders haven't come to terms with what democracy should be. During the infamous US Capitol Attack in January this year, it could've resulted to a coup if it were to be an African nation, but the strong institution of the US stood its ground.

Another reason for coup in Africa nations is the leadership style of some supposed leaders. First, corruption has become a lifestyle among these leaders, and it just have to take few years before you see a revolt. Some lead along tribal and religious line. The presence administration in Nigeria is a clear example of one that is seen by some sections of the country, like one that is leading on a tribal line. This is another thing to worry about.

Why we shouldn't be proud coups, but we can't take away the fact that some of these coups go with a message, that the people have endured enough. Today it is Guinea, tomorrow we don't know whether it will be on Paul Biya's Cameroon or Yoweri Museveni's Uganda. Remember the coup plotters aren't faraway."

France changing their foreign policy after black lives matters campaign..... So they're creating Chao to show the world, those Africans are not ready for democracy.... Zamfara, Katsina is about Gold Borno is about natural gas reserve and oil reserves for Europe..... They'll literally want to extend their pipeline from Algeria to Niger and Nigeria. Y'all think they'll sit-down and watch China take over Africa... Hell! No. They'll create a problem and tell us they've the solution. Just like virus and antivirus. The White man is the Devil

So it is now a case of China and the West fighting for supremacy in Africa at the expense of Africans.
