4 h. ago The Paradox of power: Why military coups in Africa perpetuate rather than solve governance crises

The resurgence of military coups across Africa since 2020 represents a troubling regression in the continent's democratic trajectory.

This wave includes coups in Gabon (August 30, 2023) under General Brice Oligui Nguema, Niger (July 26, 2023) by General Abdourahamane Tchiani, the dual coups in Burkina Faso (September 30, 2022, and January 24, 2022) led first by Lieutenant Colonel Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba and then Captain Ibrahim Traoré, Sudan's October 25, 2021, power grab by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, Guinea's September 5, 2021, takeover by Colonel Mamady Doumbouya, and Mali's May 24, 2021, coup orchestrated by Colonel Assimi Goïta.
