They pinky-promise. No really.
I wonder in there are any military coups that ever left their position of power voluntarily
Yes in fact it has happened in this very same country https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Council_for_the_Restoration_of_Democracy
The difference here is that president was attempting to become an autocrat while the only charges I’ve seen levied against Bazoum are vague mentions of “treason”. I can understand if the president is unpopular that this coup might have quite a few supporters but that’s what elections are for.
