      • The guy who got kicked out was elected. The guy who seized power took over via a military coup.

      • The African Union and the US have also condemned the coup. If the EU had some sneaky, nefarious scheme to have a “puppet” in place, why would they be objecting to the coup?

          It is, and with an autocratic military junta, it’s impossible to guarantee that the money will ever reach the people.

              More importantly he was elected. Dictators are worse for that reason alone.
