Good point by Jesper BJarnesen. Stability does seem more important than whether a country is functioning well for its citizens. People in power are not being held responsible for their actions, at a great cost to those they are supposed to represent.

[@tjmarx]

Tell me, who do you imagine should "hold responsible for their actions" the "people in power"? By what mechanism and under what conditions should that happen? Who should administer it? How do you stop that from just becoming the new "people in power" who should be "held responsible"?

[@teaburg]

@@tjmarx We have always used the top down approach so whoever is on top calls the shots. How about this?: The system China has but bottom up instead.

The thing about a head of state, be it a president, a monarch, or otherwise, is that by necessity of their role they have powers that allow an individual an incredible amount of power over the entire nation That means in a democratic situation, if you do not choose your head of state wisely you end up with a dictator. There is no mechanism to hold them accountable.West Africa has a history of choosing their heads of state poorly. This is at it's heart a social development issue and unfortunately the only way to resolve the larger issue is to leave them to develop on their own.

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.

If Africa can produce leaders with the same leadership skills, and mindset of JJ Rawlings of Ghana, Africa will never have leadership setbacks. Rawlings knew how a government should work. He made sure that leaders must be accountable to the people. He never gave the West the chance to dictate Ghana's internal affairs. Fearless and resilient he made sure that Ghana's mineral resources were not exploited by the West, but well managed and profitable only on mutual terms between Ghana and multinational corporations. He applied the principle of Checks and Balances in government. Rawlings was a military man with exceptional political and economic intelligence. He was not a ruler, he was a quality leader. When Rawlings left office he was the only African leader who walked the streets of Ghana freely and safely, and traveled all over world without bodyguards/security details. He was a great man.

[@apolokaggwa7619]

You may ask, what is the way forward from this endless pattern of military takeovers in Africa? The answer is quite obvious and not complicated at all. When autocracy, dictatorship and totalitarianism are no longer a way of life, that is the best way to stop a military coup from happening in Africa. That is the answer. When a politician is elected to lead, what has happened too often in Africa since independence is that instead of observing the 8 principles of GOOD GOVERNANCE, one becomes autocratic, intransigent and unaccountable to the people, subverting everything, thereby becoming a tyrant. Am I surprised that the African Union ( AU ) and the Economic Community of the West African States ( ECOWAS ) are now condemning this coup? Not at all. My response to their reaction is to ask them one question: Where were they when the human rights of the people of Guinea were being trampled by this autocrat? Now that the military has acted on their behalf, why should I listen to what the AU and the ECOWAS have to say? Today, there are still a number of dictatorial regimes in Africa, ripe for a military takeover as undesirable as it is, yet the AU has done nothing about them. On my list was Zimbabwe and Zambia in the southern Africa, but those two cases have been resolved for the time being. Everybody knows what happened in Libya, Sudan and Egypt not too long ago and why. Most recently it was South Africa and the aftermath in the news. The most likely case to follow the pattern would be in my native Uganda, where an intransigent dictator has entrenched himself in power for 35 years and counting , even after he had been dismissed by the electorate early this year and on and on it goes. Therefore, when these autocrats are kicked out of office and sent packing, no one should be sorry for them. Most disturbing is that only South Africa recently has had the courage to do what should be done about them, as a deterrent to any would be autocrat. By failing to punish them, we in Africa are condoning their despicable behaviour and therefore guaranteeing that others like them will inevitably arise from among us in the future.
