Thanks for posting that. Not a lot on info seems to be coming out of Niger. It seems like this was more of a palace coup than anything? President tried to fire his praetorian guard who said, "yeah, about that" rather the the coup leaders seeming to have a very large dedicated power bass. Does this new rebel have any support in the military and is this looking like a civil war situation?

khwarezm posted:Its curious how Military regimes always seem to be so bad at actually doing the basic things militaries are meant to do and win wars. additionally a military junta's biggest internal threat is a strong military who can overthrow them. Security for the Junta requires keeping a strong loyal military security force(republican guard, president guard etc) and a weak, poorly commanded rest of the army. this bodes poorly for doing all the things a military is actually supposed to do.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-66654965 Seems like its coup season Gabon is a bit trickier than Niger. While Niger seems to be a palace coup of a functional democracy by disgruntled presidential guard, Gabon at least has the PR of being in response to a fradulent election. Gabon also seems outside of ECOWAS sphere of influence so unlikely they will do much in response.
