Did it become clear by losing a democratic election?
In this case I have a suspicion that you have faith in that classical 'liberal democracy'. You remind me of DJ in some ways : ). A well-timed coup sounds much better in terms of outcomes, n'est-ce pas? This is Africa, mon ami. In any case, it seems to me it never came to that point, hence the point is moot. Try harder.
Note, wiki citation 19 regarding their Constitution, hehe. Gnomism cannot erase that. Try at your peril
