A network of African youth that collaborate on security has said fears that Ghana may be hit with a coup are unfounded
The African Youth Security Network said it is unlikely for a coup to take place in Ghana because the country’s democracy is still strong and has not been violated
Founder Leoni Mills has said that the military in Ghana would not have a just cause to overthrow the current government
African Youth Security Network comprising a community of young security academics, professionals, and enthusiasts in Africa, has downplayed concerns that the wave of coups sweeping across the continent could trigger similar events in Ghana.
Founder of the Network, Leoni has said Ghana’s democracy is very strong and has not been violated.
In an exclusive interview she reportedly said that the military in Ghana would not have a just cause to overthrow the constitutional government at the present time.
“Ghana has the perception of a democracy since power changes hands and leaders abide by the constitution. It’s unlikely a coup can arise even though the conditions are harsh. The military tends to use clear violations of democracy as their reason but Ghana hasn’t reached that point yet,” she said.
