silverlinen: Sad, really. But who are Africans and who are the politicians? This would have made more sense if the coup was about kicking some foreigners out of the country. But the case here is that of a group of people kicking out another group so that they'd go and have thier own share. Both the politicians and the coup plotters are from the same herd. And military rule hasn't proven to be any better in Africa. In fact, if coup was an ideal solution, Africa would have been better today given how many of them we've had. I may not have a solution myself, but I think this is an issue of lack of checks and balances. I know African leaders are very corrupt but we also have corrupt minded politicians in the western world. They just don't have the enabling environment to do whatever they want. I believe what Africa needs is a system. We need to be governed by a system where people are just fillers. There's an obvious lack of well defined institutions. But who will create this system and subject himself to it? 8 Likes |

The coups show some things 1.Most Africans are not ready to do the hard work of democracy. The minute they have a government in power that they do not like...they call for a coup. 2. Most Africans have this idea that government is in the capital...forgetting state, provincial, country, prefectural and local government. 3.Most African countries are poor because most of them prefer to run economies based on one raw material, and won't charge taxes or industrialize. Poverty makes many Africans decide millitary rule is okay. 4.Myth that army rule means all the corrupt politicans would go away. Well, they are usually replaced by another set of corrupt elite...and the show continues. 2 Likes |

Military who seize power from a democratic government through physical force will still loot all the treasury of the country dry for years without any meaningful development. They will adopt authoritarian system of government with absolute control. They will molested the fundamental human right of every citizens. Oppressing harrassing arresting and detaining without trial will be the order of the day. Africans have already lost in the middle of Atlantic ocean. It will be better for us to go back to our traditional way of leadership. I believe each African people have their own way of ruling themselves before the emergence of democracy and military system of government |
