Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Reno Omokri On Omoyele Sowore

That is not true! There is no right or wrong coup.  There is only a successful and failed coup.

Just because the people do not want to put their lives on the line to challenge a coup that becomes a fait accompli does not make it legitimate.

Even when a section of the populace invites a coup the resultant government is not legitimate nor is that action right philosophically.

Not a single military government in Nigeria was legitimate.  That is why the soldiers themselves always planned a hand over either seriously or deceptively.

Interesting. So, the rightness is measured by a coup succeeding! I didn't know. What a funny galaxy!

Obododimma,
If a coup succeeds, the government formed by the coupists becomes legitimate.

If a revolution fails, the revolutionaries become candidates for investigation for treason or treasonable felony.

CAO.
