Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract On 22 July 1994, a bloodless military coup took place in the small West African state of The Gambia. The Coup ended the democratic rule of Sir Dawda Jawara and his People's Progressive Party (PPP), which had been in power since independence in 1965. At a time when much of Africa was returning to democracy the Gambia coup represented a significant reversal and posed a big question. If one of Africa's oldest democracies could fail then what are the prospects for the newer democracies on the rest of the continent? The objective of this article is to explain why the Gambian coup took place. The explanation for the coup rests on two factors: 1. Legitimacy failure of the civilian regime in power was the primary cause of the coup, and 2. feelings of deprivation by the Gambian army was the secondary cause of the coup. The article then ends by exploring the significance of the 1994 Gambia coup and its implications for The Gambia and democracy in Africa.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
