A coup is an illegal action in which a group or individual attempts to seize control of a government by force, overthrowing the existing government.
Usually, it occurs when democratic avenues for change are not respected. These types of events often involve military or other powerful groups seeking to seize power abruptly, without the consent of the people.
The coup typically involves the removal of the current leader and the installation of a new regime. Such actions often have serious consequences for the political stability and democratic functioning of a country.
