It makes me sad when people aren’t loyal to their government.

It's sad that coups are one of the few things foreigners known about Africa.

Strange, I had just confused Burkina Faso with Guinea the other day and thought that it was Burkina Faso that had been couped last year. Turns out, they both were!

Do we know the exact goals and reasons behind this coup?
