YES

This market will resolve YES if there is a successful coup in an African country in the next three months. Success means (1) the former leader is striped of their position, (2) a significant portion of the military sides with the coup or remains neutral, (3) a transitional leader is named, (4) and the coup persists for at least one week. The coup in Niger is excluded.

Resolves YES @JohnSmith9249

predicted YES

@JohnSmith the coup in Gabon has persisted for at least a week. The resolution criteria has been fulfilled.

Needs a start date. I suppose people can guess it based on the end date, but you are assuming that people follow you and your markets - whereas it'd be so much easier to include a start date. Eg. "Will there be a coup between Sept 1 and Nov 1 2023?"

predicted YES

market for the coup in Gabon.

A military coup has been announced in Gabon on 08-30-2023. A group of senior Gabonese military officers appeared on television on Wednesday announcing they were cancelling the result of the country's recent election saying it lacked credibility.

predicted NO
