Coups in Africa

The African continent has become a hotbed of military coup d'états, a situation that has left many security analysts and Africans worried.

The latest military overthrow of Gabonese President, Ali Bongo Ondimba's government by the Central African country's soldiers brings the number of both successful attempted coup d'états in Africa to a frightening eight (8) between 2020 and 2023 alone.

A group of soldiers in Gabon announced on national television the seizure of power, the cancellation of the elections due to allegations of fraud, and the arrest of several prominent government figures.
