In these countries the government lives in fear of the military, a coup can happen any time…

In any country, when dissatisfaction spreads among the people against the government or the army becomes more powerful than the government, then the government of that country is overthrown. In simple language, coups occur due to political instability, economic problems and civil conflicts in a country. This has happened many times in India's neighboring country Pakistan. Apart from this, this was also seen recently in Bangladesh, when Sheikh Hasina government was overthrown by the army there. Let us tell you today about those countries where coups have taken place the most number of times and the people there are more afraid of the army than the government.

Where have coups taken place the most number of times? The maximum number of coups have taken place in African countries in the world. If we talk about the entire African continent, there have been a total of 109 coup attempts in different countries since 1950. In this, Burkina Faso is at number one, where coups have taken place 9 times. Apart from this, if we talk about Sudan, there were about 18 coup attempts there.

However, this attempt was successful only 6 times. Every time thousands of people are killed in these attempts and lakhs of people are affected by it. Apart from Burkina Faso and Sudan, coups have also taken place several times in countries like Burundi and Ghana. In these countries, people are more afraid of the army than the government. Let us now tell about the countries around India. Coup in Myanmar: The army has carried out coups several times in Myanmar. In 1962, General Nyun Win carried out the first coup, after which a military rule was established in Myanmar. After this, Myanmar happened again in 1988. Thousands of protesters were killed during this coup.

After this, things improved a bit, but then another coup took place in the year 2021. Political interference and coups by the army are common in the neighboring country Pakistan too. For the first time, General Ayub Khan carried out a coup in 1958. After this, General Zia ul Haq and General Musharraf also carried out a coup to capture power in Pakistan. Pakistan's political instability and corruption have given the army the opportunity to stage coups there many times.
