The British head of state is an unelected hereditary monarch called Charles Windsor, and he Britiah upper house of parliament (House of Lords) is made up of 800 unelected life members drawn from the UK elite who have the power to introduce legislation and delay bills from the (elected) House of Commons.
The more you step out of the mental cage that colonisers created for you, the more you realise that "democracy" is just a story they have told very successfully - the power structure at the core of their society is NOT democratic, and the core processes that define their societies are guided by elite consensus and NOT 1-man-1-vote.
If African countries have competent leadership that understands and aspires to sovereignty, Africans should learn to completely ignore these white people when they start using their loaded terms like "junta" and "regime" to narratively attack their legitimacy.
Ibrahim Traore has been in power in Burkina Faso since 2022. The House of Windsor has been in power in the UK since 1826, when it was still known by its original German name "House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha." Before having anything to say about Ibrahim Traore and Burkina Faso, the BBC should first explain to British people why they have spent 199 years under the control of one family and its 800 elite associates from finance, industry, arts & culture, and academia.
They should fix their "junta" at home in Westminster before rubbernecking their long oyibo necks 6,000 km across the Atlantic at a country on another continent. Nobody is buying this nonsense.

2. Watch him die
So she chose option 3. Here's what she did instead: 🧵
Many increased cases of autism are about exposing kids under 2 years to more screen time. Children under 4 years have no business owning a phone or a Tablet. Let children touch grass outside.
Gachagua: Tunataka kumwambia Ruto awache kutuma vijana wa Rift Valley, akina Sudi na Murkomen kutusi Uhuru. If he is man enough, amtusi mwenyewe.
Journalist: Wewe ukitusi Uhuru kitambo, nani alikutuma?
Gachagua: Abujubuju!
Most people think a pope dies, and that’s it. Funeral, mourning, next man up.
But what actually happens behind Vatican walls?
It’s one of the oldest and most secretive rituals in the world. And it just got triggered. 🧵👇
