Military coup in Burkina Faso

Postby Kowani » Mon Jan 24, 2022 1:11 am

Twitter source, will update later
Update: Reuters confirmation

First coup of 2022 goes to Burkina Faso, after at least one attempt was put down a few days ago.
President Roch Kaboré has been arrested by the military, who are currently making an announcement on national television as I type this

[OP will be updated with more info as events unfold)

Military Coups are all the rage these days!

Since those people have anime girls and whatnot on their flags, I decide to use him in my flag, and also, this is not Henry on my flag, it's Konrad. Plus, I love turbo-folk songs! Mod interventions makes me embarrassed and TWI sucks.

2022 will be the year of military coups predicting it now.

A United Nations on an Earth where the climate went very wrong very fast but through a miracle humanity actually put up the effort to combat it, and lead to a solarpunk society which believes it has a mission to spread life wherever they possibly can.

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?
