Guinea's Leader: Bold Defense of African Coups and Rejecting Western Influence

We all know that according to the English dictionary, a coup is a sudden, violent, and unlawful seizure of power from a government but based on the recent coups that have happened on the African continent a new definition of coup has been recently formulated. And we can call that Africa's own definition of a coup. It goes as follows “A coup is an attempt by the military to save their countries from presidents’ “broken promises”. Doesn't this completely encompass what Africans have been feeling concerning these coups? It truly does and we have none other than the interim president of Guinea, Colonel Mamadi Doumbouya to thank for this eye-opener. 

The President who also came into power through a coup in 2021, gave this new definition of a coup during his speech at the U.N. General Assembly in New York, on Thursday, September 21. Standing boldly before the gathering of world leaders and without mincing words, Colonel Mamadi told the leaders that beyond condemning the coups, global leaders must also "look to and address the deep-rooted causes." He continued to say that a putschist is not only someone who takes up arms to overthrow a regime like the English dictionary tells us but the real putschists are people who avoid any condemnation, those who cheat to manipulate the text of the constitution to stay in power eternally.”
