This is sort of an interesting situation. Troops attempted a coup d'etat against the siting president and his 'regime' or what have you because they felt they were not responding properly to Muslim Jihadist attacks going on in the country. The jihadists control parts of the country and are enacting strict muslim law in areas they control. In other words, it sounds like at least parts of the military felt that the president was in cahoots with the jihadists and want them out. Meaning even if the military succeeds in taking political control, they'll still have to battle to take their territory back from muslim extremists. Now, if there WAS a foreign power who might be backing them, I'll let you decide whom they may have appealed to or be being supported by given that situation.

EorayMel posted:but where does twitter come into play How many people took up arms in the US as a result of the election of Trump/January 6th riot in the Capital and various other events? Those were driven by Russian social media farms. That's 'thousands of people taking up arms' in their own country as a result of Russian social media influence.
