  1. This is asking the mafia for assistance. Soon they will make these generals an offer they cannot refuse.

  2.  @destroyerarmor  that is a Latin proverb which is a fallacy, as has been shown many times in the middle east. A correction is that the enemy of my enemy may also be my enemy. There is no limitation on enmity, there is always plenty of hatred to go around.

  3.  @yooscripts5947  no, it is gambling linked to greed, as are all the other coup d'etat that have happened in that region of Africa. Recently some posted that Africa was doing so well that westerners should not comment. But what is obvious is that greed and corruption is rife in Africa, and the majority are not doing well. The west is told to mind it's own business, except when it is providing the humanitarian aid that the ruling elite are too greedy to provide. It is likely that there will be war across Africa, and the arms dealers will again make a killing ( pun intended) supplying all sides with weapons. It has always amazed me that when food is in such short supply, due to high prices, there is always money to buy RPGs and AK47s. There are videos of heavily armed soldiers guarding the starving. We're I religious, I might begin to believe that we are in the end of days, and true evil has been unleashed on the world, but the rational can ascribe the nightmare mess the world is in to the pure greed of the superrich elite, who can never have enough wealth, whatever that is. Putin is the personification of evil, being motivated by greed and the quest for power. I have no doubt that the generals leading these government takeovers are corrupt. They will have Swiss numbered bank accounts, where their bribes will be deposited. Bribes for allowing the extraction of Africa's mineral wealth. Africa has always been riddled with corruption. It is why the leaders live in palaces surrounded by starving people. It is why the former breadbasket of Africa can no longer feed its people. Wars of rebellion against these injustices are regularly waged, but somehow they just result in one corrupt ruling elite being replaced by another.
