The West African region is like a hot mess

. Nigeria's situation with Burkina Faso just adds fuel to the fire

. It's no coincidence that this happened after they interfered in Benin's politics

. The question is, what were they thinking?

Did they really think they could just swoop in and stage a coup without consequences?
And let's not forget about Ecowas' role in all this

. If they're not careful, they'll get pulled into another regional conflict

. The AES is trying to carve out its own path and protect its interests, but it's hard to blame Nigeria for feeling like they need to take matters into their own hands

.
We need to ask ourselves: what's the real motive behind this incident? Is it just a case of bad diplomacy or is there something more sinister going on?

I'm not buying that it was just a technical issue

. There are too many variables at play here to make that claim

. It's time for some tough questions and answers
