Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - RE: Military -seizes-power-in-gabon-after-bongos-vict

There was no real democracy in gabon or equatorial guinea or congo brazzaville. That wasn’t true of niger. But the others are sham democracies. Rwanda too.

But i don’t see how the military coup will bring a better regime; i predict in all these cases the military will use their power to take over whatever economic forces they can, like egypt or zimbabwe.

Why is it unacceptable to overthrow, via a coup, a government that tramples on various aspects of a nation's constitution? Because an agreement has been signed to preserve a  corrupt and incompetent government that neglects the needs of its citizens?

It is Bongo now. I pray that these changes do not result in violence that will destroy the country. But the changes are welcome. African governments must know that 'democracy ' will not save them if they continue to convert their countries into failed states.

"GREETINGS ALL,

QUESTION: IS THE NIGERIAN PRESIDENT GOING TO FIGHT IN GABON TO BRING DEMOCRACY TO THE DEAD IN SUPPORT OF NATO?

KOFI"

Is Gabon a member of ECOWAS? Of course no.

Tinubu is doing what he is doing in Niger because that country is a member of ECOWAS and every ECOWAS member subscribed to the union's protocol against unconstitutional change of government and Tinubu happens to be the ECOWAS chair at this time.
