Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 74321, member: 636"] Rwanda's president called out the wave of military takeovers sweeping across Africa and said more coups might be coming because leaders keep ignoring their own people while bowing to Western powers. Paul Kagame told reporters that when 90 percent of these power grabs happen, something was already broken in that country, and he split coups into good ones versus bad ones depending on whether the military acted out of genuine grievances or just wanted control. Kagame pointed out that some overthrown leaders were the same ones getting praised by Western governments, which makes the whole situation look like those endorsements were total nonsense. He warned coup leaders that they better actually fix the problems they claimed justified their takeover, or else the cycle just continues with different faces running the same broken system. [/QUOTE]
