  • There are things called bullets that coup leaders use to stop ordinary citizens from carrying out democracy.

  • There are things called arms dealers that provide the guns and bullets.

  • There are things called oil companies and mining companies that provide support for governments that act in their favour.

I could go on. But pretending that ordinary African people don't want fairly elected leadership would be cynical and intellectually dishonest.
