DOCUMENTARY ON RESPECT FOR CONSTITUTIONAL TERM LIMITS IN WEST AFRICA

The question of tenure elongation has moved from the sphere of normal devolution of power to the transitional context. It has become the main stake of the recent military-political transitions in West Africa.

The different coups d’état perpetrated by military elites in Mali (2020, 2021), Guinea (2021) and Burkina-Faso (2022) point out how complicated the allocation of a relevant time for a successful political transition is. It appears that the sanctions are no longer effective in deterring military coups or prolonging the stay of transition governments. Moreover, for public opinion in those countries, the elongation of the transition’s term does not matter. On the contrary, the heads of the transition governments seem to benefit, for the time being, from the support of their populations…

“It is up to Africans themselves to find the solutions to Africa’s problems..”  Prof. Abdoulaye Bathily.
