USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: Coup Taxonomy update

biya would be your "opportunistic coup."

he inherited the throne from ahidjo, who more or less abdicated thinking he was dying, and went to france to be treated. when he discovered he wasn't dead, to his surprise, he attempted to return.

unlike putin, he was kept out, booted out by biya.

biya came in as a reformed, like habyarimana, everybody happy everybody celebrating, new freedoms finally.

then the attempted coup., the crack down, the temporary suspension of freedoms,

temporary

how long now? he is probably around 190 years old, so he's been in power for more than a century (time is relative)

opportunistic.

seize the moment, and then, stretch it out forever

musaveni same story.

they got lots to learn from mandela about democracy and freedom and decency
