Recent coups across Africa

 In recent years, Africa has witnessed several notable coups that have had significant political implications for the respective countries. Here are some examples:


1. Mali (2020): On August 18, 2020, the military in Mali staged a coup, ousting President Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta. The coup was led by military officers who formed the National Committee for the Salvation of the People. This followed months of protests against government corruption, economic instability, and security concerns.

2. Sudan (2019): In April 2019, Sudan experienced a coup that led to the removal of President Omar al-Bashir after nearly three decades in power. The military took control of the government following sustained mass protests demanding political change and better governance.

3. Zimbabwe (2017): In November 2017, the Zimbabwean military launched a non-violent "intervention" that resulted in the resignation of President Robert Mugabe. This intervention was triggered by internal power struggles within the ruling party, economic instability, and growing public discontent.

4. Egypt (2013): In July 2013, the Egyptian military, led by General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, overthrew President Mohamed Morsi, who had come to power after the Arab Spring revolution in 2011. The coup came in response to widespread protests against Morsi's increasingly authoritarian rule and the Muslim Brotherhood's influence.

5. Burkina Faso (2014): Following days of mass protests against President Blaise Compaoré's attempt to extend his 27-year rule, the military seized power in Burkina Faso in October 2014. Lieutenant Colonel Isaac Zida temporarily assumed leadership until a transitional government was established.

6. Gabon (2023): The 52 years old family veto has been put to rest by the military for a fresh start.

It is worth noting that coups, regardless of their motivations, often have long-term political, economic, and social consequences. They can disrupt constitutional order, undermine democratic processes, and create instability within a country and the wider region. The international community generally condemns coups and often imposes sanctions on governments that come to power through such means, emphasizing the importance of upholding democratic norms and the rule of law.


What is your take on this new trend?

It is the phenomenon of a man “releasing” best known as ejaculating shortly after penetration. Several survey results have shown that PE affects not less than 40% of men world wide. The standard time duration during which premature ejaculation (known as PE for short) occurs depends on the perspective of individual partners.
