There has been series of coup d'etat happening within Africa countries in the last couple of years, Democratic set up is been overthrown for military take over in some part of the West Africa subregion, the latest being Benin Republic which is still uncertain as ECOWAS(economic community of west African states) military troops are on standby to invade the country to quench the coup d'etat.
Countries that have succeeded in having such coup d'etat in recent times includes, Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso, niger Republic and a host of others.
But here is my concern, some Africa countries have leaders that have remained in power longer than the stipulated constitutional tenure, so whenever their tenure is nearing expiration they will quickly amend the constitution for another extension of term while contesting as a incumbent candidate again. In doing so, they use brute force to stifle and strangulate opposition parties and eventually they rig the elections and announce results in their interest. This is not to talk about how corrupt and unproductive some of these leaders have been.
So the prevailing circumstance like this, will it be wise for the military to just sit back and watch without interfering so as to bring normalcy back to the sovereignty?
