\nThe correct answer is D) Successful coups.
\n<\/section>\n
\nChad experienced a military takeover in April 2021. Guinea had a military coup in September 2021. Mali saw coups in August 2020 and May 2021. Sudan’s transitional government was overthrown by a military coup in October 2021. These successful military takeovers, often referred to as a “coup belt” across the Sahel region, brought these countries into international focus for political instability and democratic backsliding.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThese coups led to suspensions from regional bodies like the African Union and ECOWAS, as well as sanctions from international partners, highlighting the common reason for their attention in the news during the period. While other issues like desertification or resource potential exist in these regions, the common and prominent reason for international attention around 2020-2022 was the wave of military coups.
