see my post #3.
There's a certain correlation, which doesn't imply causation, of course...

There hasn’t been a similar coup in Togo, but that is only because the nation’s top industry, production of consumer food for those unwilling to cook at home, is strong enough to keep people content with conditions as they are.

What does history teach us?
Tribal leadership is the norm and they are returning to it no matter what the world says.

A Short History Of Man
1. Let’s band together and go steal from those people in the next valley.
2. Let’s band together to defend against raiders.
3. Some roads would be nice.
4. Let’s steal from our own people.

Mix of different things.
Sudan is not West Africa and has been unstable for decades.
As for West Africa: it is beginning to look like a collapse of the French neocolonial empire.
The latest news, incidentally, is that the Mali Government gave the French ambassador 72 hours to leave the country.

Preparing CCP Belt and Road
To: Cronos
An unusual coup unfolded in Chad in April 2021. A president who had ruled for three decades was killed on the battlefield, and his son was quickly installed in his place — a violation of the Constitution. Technically, Hunter is not in our line of succession, but I suppose I can see this happening here.

That's more than 114 million people now ruled by soldiers who have illegally seized power. 350 million Americans are being ruled by a demented old fool who illegally seized power in America.
