I was watching a medium-long-form daily news program about Gabon. It was as if the leaders of the US Secret Service were part of the military and multiple generals decided to depose POTUS. Their military, so far, appears to be staying out of future politics and doing this out of nationalism to pave the way for a leader who isn't beholden to French neocolonialism. So far, there hasn't been significant violence or chaos. One can't simply topple a government without having a plan to deliver the mail, pickup the trash, pay government workers, handle crises, and maintain the trust of external creditors, many of whom are French multinationals. It's up to how the (temporary?) military junta behaves and the way power they transfer power. Ideally, by holding elections with international observers. Another component in the transition will be establishing fiscal controls and oversight to tamp down on the corrupting influences of resource curses.
