In some African nations, the end of European colonial rule brought about political instability. Many countries were not able to establish a stable democratic government. As a result, some nations were vulnerable to COUPS D'ETAT, which can be defined as sudden, violent overthrows of governments.
A coup d'état is the seizure of political power in a sudden and violent way, by a group of power, violating the legal norms of succession in power previously in force.
