Coups by their nature are criminal offences that attract capital punishment in many countries. This explains why such political adventures should be a rarity if not for anything, for the risk that comes with failure. The successes of coups in West Africa is indicative of the challenge of statehood in our nations, as democratic leaders are failing to live up to their democratic responsibilities.
Beyond the debates, one significant lesson that these recent coups in West Africa have taught us is that without peace, security and good governance, democracy will lose its essence and value. Another lesson, perhaps most important, is that it takes more than a nation to preserve democracy in a country. Peace and democracy in today’s world of globalisation and multilateralism are seen as a collective asset and their preservation is tied to the cooperation and unity of all stakeholders.
