From the successful overthrows of democratic governments in Mali (2020; 2021); Guinea (2021); and Burkina Faso (January and September 2022); to failed ones in Niger (2021); and Guinea Bissau (2022); military forces are increasingly interfering in civilian-led politics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The sharp rise in coups d\u2019\u00e9tat in the region has raised fears of a return to the bad old days of prevalent despotic and autocratic governments. This paper explores the developing socio-political challenges in West Africa to analyze the governance and political issues fueling the rise in coup d\u2019\u00e9tats and posits ways in which they can be prevented.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To read the full paper, kindly click on this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mfwa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/The-Troubling-Resurgence-of-Coup-detats-in-West-Africa-Final-1.pdf\">link.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":28392,"template":"","publication-type":[191],"report-category":[754],"report-type":[],"class_list":["post-28389","reports","type-reports","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","publication-type-reports","report-category-media-for-democracy-good-governance"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.mfwa.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reports\/28389","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.mfwa.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reports"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.mfwa.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reports"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.mfwa.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.mfwa.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28392"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.mfwa.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28389"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"publication-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.mfwa.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication-type?post=28389"},{"taxonomy":"report-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.mfwa.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/report-category?post=28389"},{"taxonomy":"report-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.mfwa.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/report-type?post=28389"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
