The Military Coup In Gabon: Dynastic Succession And Wealth Concentration
Authors : Bedri Ibtissam .
Abstract
Africa has witnessed a surge of military coups since gaining independence, with these coups becoming a prominent means of political regime change, particularly in Central and West Africa. Between 2020 and 2023, Africa experienced 8 successful coups, highlighting the need to investigate the multifaceted factors shaping the trajectory of military coups. The most recent coup in Gabon in 2023 aimed to end the decades-long rule of the Bongo family, characterized by dynastic succession policies. This resulted in political stagnation, wealth concentration, and the postponement of democratic transitions.
Keywords
