It is not a requirement for the military to take over after a successful military coup although it is highly possible for them to present the ring leaders of the coup as preferred civilians that are 'fit enough' to lead and this is done in such a way as to push the idea of democratic legitimacy even though it's all for show.
The Mother continent seems to be prone to this as the immunity we thought we had is nothing compared to the disease being the lust of power showcased by the same leaders who claim to be what the country their leading needs only for them to sentence their own people to poverty and slavery birthing more monsters waiting for their own turn to further destroy their nations' in this episode we touch onto the dangers of these transitions and what happened in Mali. 🇲🇱
