There has been a series of coups in some West African countries like Mali and Guinea.
Burkina Faso also followed the trend with its military seizing power. The military leader Lieutenant Colonel Paul-Henri Damiba, together with some mutineer, deposed President Roch Kabore.
The coup was due to deepening anger about Kabore’s response to violence by armed groups.
According to experts, the circumstances that led to military coups in other West African democratic states exist in Ghana, although with different context-specificities hence the topic for discussion.
