The borders have been shut, the soldiers have announced that the tenure of the president is over

Africa is going through a lot this time, from Sudan to Mali and now Burkina Faso.

getting serious

Hisbah21:
getting serious

seriously, Africa is in topsy Turvy

Good news.
And the sweet wind of Revolution keep blowing through corrupt West Africa, I hope it doesn't pass us by.

ECOWAS would intervene.

The president also need to step down as the masses are against him

Those who killed Thomas Sankara don’t want to face justice.

If they are not behind this coup make I bend.

lol, I don't think military can take power in Nigeria again

God1000:
lol, I don't think military can take power in Nigeria again

As for me I don't think our fate is irredeemable.
Please, be more positive.

Three countries liberated in the span of a year in West Africa and you want me to believe that our fate is sealed?
God forbid

helinues:

yeah the people are against him just like it happened in Sudan and Mali.

But the big concern here is the fact that the military will later remain in power instead of handing over to civilian

I really don't think the Burkina Faso military are interested in power generally, may be some of them but that president just have to go.

well, Nigeria is just too big and complicated.

Even back in the days of military rule, they could not stay in power for long

time will tell bro

God1000:

ECOWAS can't allow another military government to take over in West Africa... Why now

I now understand the direction you are referring to.
I believe in the same thing. Any coup will have a national flavour to it, and by nation I mean the original nations forced into Nigerian unity.

If the coup was to be led by an Igbo, the remaining Hausa soldiers will attribute it as the style of his nation to cease power, same can be said if it was led by Hausa, Yoruba or any minority.

But the revolution I have in mind/wish for Nigeria is total liberation for the nations forced into this abominable Union. Only that is true revolution in Nigeria

helinues:

ECOWAS will surely intervene with sanctions, but it's ordinary Burkinabe that will suffer it.

Burkina Faso is now 9.

God1000:
ECOWAS will surely intervene with sanctions, but it's ordinary Burkinababe that will suffer it.

The current issue in Burkina Faso is about security, now that the current Government is about to vacate, the military should leave the democracy for the politicians while they handle the insecurities

fergie001:

yeah, but the three countries I mentioned happened recently

I hope so, they should emulate their revolutionary leader Thomas Sankara

exactly, there's so much skepticism and cynicism

Burkina Faso should be leading the highest Coup d'etat now in Africa.

Yet they are not getting things right.. Well this coup look bloodless for now. Whatever they are revolutionize about this time, they should try and get it right

Our fingers are crossed for now as events continue to unfold

The problem with Nigeria is we focus too much on the centre while ignoring to hold our representatives accountable.

In Kalu's voice, states that have been experiencing insecurities in Nigeria are mostly welcomed by their governors. If they do not want any miscreants in their state, they know what to do. Is Kano not I. northern Nigeria, hardly you read security matter from the state

God1000:

Africans are too carried away. After all this protest, coup, give it some months or years, there won't be reasonable follow up from the citizens cos those who might want to lead this time might not be different from the current Government. Self centeredness is ingrained in some Africans.

Imagine Adaka Boro of Gambia that was complaining about how Jammeh was using force on protesters still did the same after gaining power. He eventually won his reelection

As long as human rights are not abused and the nation can be stabilised, let military guys stay in power forever. Politicians cannot be stealing money and living on bogus allowances and professionals including soldiers are suffering.

Are those military from Pluto?

If they military have been doing their work, would the situation get to this?

the case of Gambia is really funny bro, I believe some Gambians will be missing the former president now

If politicians have been doing their jobs, no soldier would think of plotting coup. Politicians have failed woefully in many parts of the Africa. I prefer military democrazy for most Africa nations anyway.

but some military leaders are as corrupt as civilians

God1000:

That means no one form of government is better than other. It depends on leaders.
