Why Is The Coup D'état In Niger So Much Concerning? by LeeSantos(m): 4:49pm On Aug 11, 2023
According to a post on bbc there has being 6 attempted coup in Africa with four of them successful. So why is this Niger own drawing so much attention?

Military coups were a regular occurrence in Africa in the decades after independence and there is concern they are starting to become more frequent.
The takeover in Niger, led by soldiers belonging to the presidential guard, is just the latest in a string of coups that have taken place in recent years.
There were two in Burkina Faso in 2022 as well as failed coup attempts in Guinea Bissau, The Gambia and the island nation of Sao Tome and Principe.
In 2021, there were six coup attempts in Africa, four of them successful.
