Here is why there have been so many attempts to overthrow leaders of African countries over decades
say the biggest driver behind these power grabs are leaders overstaying their time in power, the perception of poor leadership, and corruption amid economic hardships, even as governmental institutions lose strength, creating conditions that are ripe for a coup d'etat by military leaders.can be a driver amid the interplay between domestic and geopolitical actors.
Between 1967 and 1971, the country experienced four coups, with another five attempts following in quick succession between 1992 and 1997.In 2017, the army seized control, bringing an end to Robert Mugabe's 37-year-long reign. Contrary to coups elsewhere in the region, in Zimbabwe, one of the leaders who deposed Mugabe, Maj Gen Sibusiso Moyo, repudiated any notion in the media that theirs was a military power grab.
The Economic Community of West African States , which had imposed sanctions on Mali after the coup, removed some sections of the sanctions in 2022 after the coup leaders put forward a two-year transition plan to democracy and a new electoral law, under which the country is expected to hold a presidential election in 2024.In 2021, following the death of President Idriss Deby while on a trip to the frontlines to see soldiers fighting rebels, the military took charge.
After becoming the interim president, Doumbouya pledged a path to democratic elections in three years. However, ECOWAS intervened to push forward the timeline, imposing sanctions on those with ties to the military junta, who in January 2023 proposed a two-year transition, a move derided by the Opposition.In January 2022, the army deposed President Rock Kabore and suspended the nation's Constitution and National Assembly. Military leaders claimed he had failed to stop widespread violence.
