But that isn’t how governments are supposed to work. If you don’t like a guy, vote him out next election. Nigeria should know this, as it did what Niger is currently doing 30 years ago. The reason ECOWAS is intervening is because of the amount of chaos that the junta will bring to the region. They’re trying to regulate their own area of the globe. And if look at Niger’s history, you’ll see why. They’re on their SEVENTH REPUBLIC. Because they set up a republic, then a general has a hissy fit when the duly elected leader pisses them off and they go a couping. Then all hell breaks loose for a few years until they do it again. Nigeria, in particular, should be looking to help keep the seventh republic stable.
Nigeria, is literally right next door, gone through the same democracy-coup cycles in the past AND had had a functional democracy for the last 20+ years. What about that part of the world makes you think democracies can’t work?

from the article, it sounds like people there dont want Bazoum to return to power. ECOWAS is entirely unnecessary
