It’s Africa. They just had a military junta. You expected the Roman Senate overnight?
The military junta people are still fighting, as in with bullets, their opponents in the military. No talk yet of an election date.
ECOWAS is threatening action to restore some kind of order. The Taureg rebels in the north are upset that the Islamist rebels in the north are imposing sharia law, and starting to dispense punishments. allafrica.com
