    Even if that’s the case (it isn’t always) it’s a lot better to have a local boot than a foreign one.

    Africans deserve to be governed by Africans, not politicians who turn their country over to imperialists for profit. It’s much better to critically support coups in the imperialized world when they’re done by local interests than it is to make blanket statements and deny local voices their self-determination.

      Sure, I agree.

      If the coup is led by the people with no external interests. I don’t know if that one is.

      I’m not trying to play devil’s advocate here. This type of upheaval is rarely victimless and I hope it ends in better lives.
