No Victor, No Vanquished? Gowon’s Memoir Reopens Biafra’s Bloody Ledger by MARCEL MBAMALU
His new memoir, “My Life of Duty and Allegiance”, points a finger from the grave of history at Chukwuemeka Ojukwu — accusing the dead Biafran leader of lying about Aburi, arming the East for war, and dragging Nigeria into bloodshed. Ojukwu, buried since 2011, cannot answer.#militarycoup — Public Fediverse posts

Rejoinder: BOOK REVIEW: Yakubu Gowon’s “My Life of Duty and Allegiance”, – Aburi Accord failed due to federal backtracking, not Ojukwu’s intransigence,’ says Onoh by Oluyemi Ogunseyin
Drawing from over a decade of deep, personal discussions with his late brother-in-law, Ojukwu, in his private residence and office, as well as his personal interactions with late Col. Achuzie and particularly his 1998–1999 conversations with late Maj. Gen. Philip Effiong, Onoh said his narrative is a firsthand account of the events. -
BOOK REVIEW: Inside Yakubu Gowon’s “My Life of Duty and Allegiance”, By Mathew Hassan Kukah
The reader will be right to expect that this book will be the biography to end all biographies and accounts of Nigeria’s chequered history through three coups and a civil war. If you are expecting any revelations from declassified documents, private papers and notes, the reader might be disappointed. The reasons is that, from the beginning, the author confesses that: I want to emphasise that I am telling my story without access to my crucial personal records since many important documents taken from my desk after my removal in July 1975 were discarded by those who succeeded me. Other documents that survived were destroyed by two fire incidents in Bakori and Kaduna(xxi). Yet, none of this diminishes the book which obviously was written straight from whatever he could remember. -

Nigeria’s “Poorest General” and the Cost of Elite Corruption
In 1993, during the dark days following the military takeover that brought Sani Abacha to power, one Nigerian Army officer took an unusual step. Instead of consolidating his position within the new regime, he walked away.https://lawakhigbe.com/2026/08/03/nigerias-poorest-general-and-the-cost-of-elite-corruption/

Unconfirmed: #IRGC reportedly seizes control of Iran's state functions, blocks president's appointments.
Neither the president or any of his ministers have been seen in public or social media in the past 24 hours.
Even Qalibaf (head of Majles) who usually posts comments on major events, have posted anything about the latest flip flops by orange shitler.
It's very possible that there was a silent coup in Iran.

"against enemies both foreign and domestic" has the less worse option being looked for.
And that'd have to factor in having 35% of people polling as ok-enough with ICE's murdering and frequent public displays of lawless brutality.

The rumors of the failed coup in China:
Out of the 7 members in the Central Military Commission in China, the supreme body responsible for building and deploying military power, 2 remain who have not been arrested or disappeared.
Did china fall for the same trick Hitler did to USSR to get rid of top generals before invading the country? Or was it a real coup to take over the country by the military?

They've also sworn to uphold the Constitition.
Which requires them to:
1. Obey the (legal) orders of their Commander in Chief.
And
2. To protect the Constitution against enemies ... domestic.
At some point the need to do 2. would (hopefully) overwhelm the need to do 1.
Decisions, decisions.

"Like his ally US President Donald Trump, Bolsonaro questioned his re-election defeat and was accused of encouraging an insurrection to overturn the will of the voters. He, however, has been punished for it.
Polls suggest that most Brazilians will accept the verdict, though a large minority will see the court’s decision as further evidence of an institution whose role is too big and whose decisions can be arbitrary. Many conservatives believe the court is biased against them, noting that it quashed Lula’s conviction corruption in 2021 and did not hear other cases against him. None of this, though, changes the gravity of Bolsonaro’s offences, nor the strength of the evidence offered.
Bolsonaro now faces up to 27 years in jail instead of another run at the presidency in elections next year. Aged 70 and in poor health after an attempted assassination in 2018, he could die a prisoner. Yet in Brazil’s volatile political world, where almost everything is up for negotiation, the case is not closed. The former president enjoys formidable support in congress, where allies are trying to force a vote on an amnesty bill to set him free. If a conservative wins next year’s election, Bolsonaro could be granted a pardon. A future rightwing president might stack the supreme court with allies or win enough senate seats to impeach justices."

In this feature #documentary , a #Chilean #filmmaker returns to the motherland for the first time in 23 years. Time is passing. A generation of young Chileans has grown up with no knowledge of the facts surrounding the #MilitaryCoup of September 11, 1973. In his suitcase, The #BattleOfChile his 3-part #cinéma vérité chronicle of the #political tensions in #Chile in 1973 and of the violent #counterrevolution against the democratically elected government of #SalvadorAllende. His documentary toured the world but was never seen in Chile. Discreetly, he shows it to his friends and a small group of students. After the screening, the young people are in a state of shock. They have an urgent need to know the truth, for it is they who must build the Chile of tomorrow. In #Spanish with English subtitles
