Africa news, Shortly after the start of the new year,
another West African country announced a new coup attempt. Burkina Faso's
government said last week that it had foiled a plot by the armed forces to
occupy the country.
There were military coups in Mali and Guinea
last year. The country of Chad, which is also in the coastal region, saw an
undemocratic transfer of power.
He took to the streets to vent his anger on
the government and failed to save them from jihadi violence when he was
concerned about the ups and downs in the country and warned the army not to try
to regain power. ۔ It looks like the government has literally
fired.
What makes West Africa fertile ground for military coups:
On January 13, the ministers announced that
they had uncovered a conspiracy by a group of soldiers and civilians to
destabilize the institutions. According to him, they have so far neutralized
this threat.
So far 15 people have been detained. They
include two military officers, seven non-commissioned officers, and a soldier,
as well as five civilians. However, there have been four arrests in the last 18
months in West and Central Africa. In Mali alone, a military junta seized power
for the first time in 2020 in what could be called "corruption and weak
leadership."
Military leaders have promised to hold
elections but have since fired an interim government, suggesting they could run
the country for the foreseeable future. In neighboring Guinea, five-year-old
democratically elected President Alpha Conde was ousted by the military last
year. He was also accused of corruption and the son of President Idris Debbie
witnessed the uprising.
Join me now after my father was killed on the
battlefield. "I think it's always important for us to remind you that
there is political momentum within the continent and even in a region like West
Africa," said the founder of a think tank in West Africa. And so when you
comment on the uprising in Mali, for example, it is not the same.

As I comment on the conflict situation in
Guinea, I think we need to be careful about taking these groups as something
that can be generalized as a trend in West Africa. There is definitely a tendency
for democracy in the region. But I don't necessarily take the issue of finance
as an example.
An example of this is that Mali is facing a
security crisis and the uprising in the country was not so surprising. But
still what is giving rise to tourism in this region.
The main problem, you think, is how countries
are governed. I think when we talk about democracy everywhere in the world, we
have to acknowledge that this is what was created, and that is all.
It has to do
with the ability of the political system to create security for the economic
and social benefit of the people when you have a democratic system with regular
elections. But we do not realize that state security is providing employment to
the youth.
It is providing economic and social
development to the people. Basically, you fail to believe in democracy. And I
think that was an excuse to join the army.
Political
scenarios and saying that we can bring back security in particular. We have the
best place to meet the needs of the people. And I think that's a big issue, so
regional organizations like Echo and I don't think so.
Why is it that the EU and Aqua have made so
many protocols on democracy and good governance that they can force cold
leaders to return to democratic ways? But they are more effective in condemning
military coups than in enforcing strict rule by rulers, including civilians.
The rulers
we have in many parts of the continent have been around for decades. And they
can't really force this leader to provide different political practices in
their countries, so you really can't expect them.
Leaders,
because the only thing that matters at the end of Aqua is the heads of state
who made the final decisions, and what we are saying now is the lack of
credibility of these organizations.
They do not
believe in the possibility of equality in West Africa. Strengthening democracy,
for example, because they can see that those who decide for themselves are not
a good example of democratic governance in their country. You know prevention
is better.
How can
regional agencies help prevent such staff from happening instead of treating
them? First of all, I think we should have something else. I would say a more
sophisticated idea of how to prevent a military coup.
I think we have to acknowledge that the
countries of the region need more than just elections. After all, democracy is
about working for the benefit of the people, and you can't just condemn a coup.
And you know that if you're not working, try
to stop the military from selling power. If you do not stabilize the economy
then change the way you govern countries politically but also economically.
If you do not know, understand that you are
ruling for the people, then we will. Am I always afraid that military rulers
will be used as an excuse to sell power and I think the biggest prevention will
be to work on the structural failures of the system of government in our
countries?
