No Western powers are happy about this and they keep demanding they end the coup with a return to the rightful leader. I get that the U.S. has instigated coups in the past to gain influence/control within various nations, however using that as a basis to suspect they're responsible any time a coup happens is just biased preconceptions.

cjsdowg 08/03/23 9:01:25 AM #43:	This really isn't getting spoken about like it should. I am not pointing fingers or anything since this my first time speaking about on here too. But all of these African Nations having coups, and I honestly don't know what to think. First normally coups are super bad. But some suggest that the people are power are being controlled by the west. If an "elected" leader is acting like Ngo Dinh Diem there could be issues. --- "Big Sweaty Otis" -Titus O'Neil <cite>cjsdowg posted [p:975226122] in Coup in Ni...
