Africa is set to endure another year of living dangerously in 2022. All the putschists seem set to defy the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and consolidate their hold on power. Amidst rising food prices, the military-backed regime of Abdelmadjid Tebboune in Algiers will continue repressing civil society and detaining journalists. Civil society groups will continue to resist this attempted civilian coup d’état. Africa thus seems set to endure another year of living dangerously in 2022.
