Media personality, Reno Omokri, has spreading coups in Africa.
News of another military takeover in Guinea Bissau worsened the fear of many as it came after the ugly incidents in Burkina Faso and Mali.
Reno, who gave his opinion on the matter, says that no matter how terrible a government is, a military takeover won’t benefit the nation.
He urged the African leaders to find a solution to the issue now or else, they would be affected later also.
He wrote (SIC):
“First Mali, then Burkina Faso, and now Guinea Bissau.
The spate of coups in West Africa is becoming disturbing.
It starts as a trickle, and may become a deluge, with a domino effect if we do nothing.
I urge West African leaders to consider doing what Obasanjo did when there was a coup in São Tomé and Príncipe.
If not, they themselves may not be safe in the future.
This is an evil wind that will blow no one any good.
As bad as some so called civilian governments can be, for example, the Buhari led junta, they are still far better than a military regime.
A stitch in time is required here.
Just suspending these illegitimate regimes from ECOWAS and The AU is simply not enough!”
