A wave of discussions has erupted across East Africa following circulating reports claiming that Rwanda’s President, Paul Kagame, expressed the view that “not all coups in Africa are bad.”
The alleged remark—shared widely on social media—has sparked strong reactions from political analysts, citizens, and governance experts across the continent. Many are debating whether some military takeovers have historically led to reforms, while others argue that coups consistently undermine democratic institutions.
While the comment has not been officially confirmed by the Rwandan government, its rapid spread has already fueled conversations about leadership, stability, and the future of democracy in Africa.
Observers say the controversy highlights just how sensitive political transitions remain across the continent, especially in regions where instability has become a recurring concern.
