The most recent military intervention of January 24 in Burkina Faso, combined with the other recent coups in Niger, Mali, and Guinea, have sparked a debate on whether or not coups have finally resurfaced in many parts of the continent, as well as the suspicion of how the nationals of these countries embraced these coups. The military took over power in Burkina Faso after deposing the government of Roch Marc Christian Kaboré in a coup d’état led by Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba.

…some scholars have explained the reason for the resurgence of coups from the vantage point of the coup contagion hypothesis. This means that where there is a military intervention, there is a possibility that countries in other areas of the region might also resort to this. Military intervention in a country brings about a sense of legitimacy in another country and encouragement.
In essence, different political mobilisations have been overtures to military interventions in Africa, just as they were in the past. Before the January 24 coup d’etat in Burkina Faso, different protests and mobilisations had arisen. Similarly, the other two arms of the above model have been evident in the recent coups. Africa should have learnt from the past.
If the rationale for coups in the recent time in Africa is bad governance, then, is bad governance the bane in Francophone African States?
The governments are not performing especially on war against bandits and insurgents
When people are hungry and poor and privileged few called politicians are embezzling everything
Yes I see our country as next in the coming election remember this day ok i see this coup hitting Nigeria too 😂🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
