This sort of thing happening in Africa is not a bad thing, it should be frequent

France, au and ecowas, were they on vacation when he changed the constitution for his greedy and selfish benefits? And in to what constitution are they asking them to release him and continue?? Where were they when conde was killing and brutalising them?? Do they now want to live the life for the ordinary Guinean 🇬🇳? Because they are all the same, thieves.
He choosed to stuck on power selfishly when he could be enjoying somewhere with his great-grandkids.

Can they see the joy in their eyes?? Evil people, they can all go to HELL for all they care and leave them to enjoy their freedom.

The end of 🇺🇲 puppet?

Pat Osepo says:

ECOWAS should be awaken. ECOWAS should not sit down to see West Africa destroyed. It is nonsensical for any one to condemn the three coups in Niger, Mali and Guinea when we all remained quiet to see the presidents of those nations changed the two terms of their presidency to three terms. As long as we allowed their constitutions to be massaged by those autocrats to extend their rules, the coups to overthrow them are justifiable. Anyone who don't want to see a coup must first condemn the manipulation of constitutions. ECOWAS, AU and UN should be serious to disallow the changing of constitution by any sitting president that involves his own terms of office. The practice must be abolished and never entertained.

The sad story of French colonies of Africa is like this. The poorest and most corrupt are French speaking.

Efia Ahimah says:

He should never have changed the Constitution and run for a third term. Being power drunk has consequences!!!!!!!!!

Frank Smith says:

Zionist-WASP puppet trained in Great Britain and Israel did coup because of China investment in Guinea and because China want to join this country to One Belt One Road initiative

Emmanuel Ameyaw says:

Later, coup leaders hold on to power and people gets nothing. Everybody is the same, actually. Coup didn't help Africa develop, democracy didn't, autocracy didn't…because no matter the system, the people are the same. Hopefully, these coup leaders aren't…but there is little evidence to believe so.

John Taylor says:

Another Chinese ally bites the dust, another one gone, another one gone, another one bites the dust .

Jullian Gregorio says:

It is time to end Francafrique. The reason why France has a lot of immigrant problems is that they created it themselves.
They stripped Africans of their identity, culture, and resources. They speak of condemnation of current political affairs but lacks the resolve to fix the problem of neo-colonialism.

Rsi Holii says:

Democracy is not working in Africa even people who bring democracy to us don't care that is worst thing.

Maina thethere. says:

83yrs and still refusing to leave power

war thunder says:

Looks like the military boys did a good job overthrowing a tyrant.
