We the youth of Africa really welcomes this. We want it to continue. The military must stand up for the people

When democratically appointed leadership undermines the principles of democracy, the gunman will be praised for replacing democracy. At least fear is back to the leadership of Africa. Bunch of corrupt people.

Because of the greedy nature of African leaders I agree there should be an uprising in her leadership circle
The only solution is to allow the law to impeach the incompetent ones like the ECOWAS president(Nana Addo Dankwah Akuffo). Take me serious, because his people are not happy at all with his kind of system in office..... And I may say he's a corrupt president.
African rulers will never learn. The think the people are foolish. Uprising everywhere
