Zambia’s President warns potential coup plotters

Zambia’s President Hakainde Hichilema has issued a stern warning to potential coup plotters, emphasizing the importance of preserving the country’s democratic stability, according to a report by BBC.

The reason behind his cautionary statement remains unclear, but it follows a series of recent coup attempts in Francophone African nations and domestic concerns regarding the rising cost of living.

Addressing those who may underestimate Zambia’s commitment to upholding the rule of law and entertain unlawful thoughts of seizing power through undemocratic means, President Hichilema declared, “We are coming for you.”

Notably, Zambia has maintained its democratic governance since gaining independence in 1964, despite several unsuccessful coup endeavors in its history.
