The Coup Belt (French: la ceinture de coups d'État[1]) is a modern geopolitical concept and neologism which emerged during the 2020s to describe the region of West Africa, Central Africa and the Sahel that is home to countries with a high prevalence of coups d'état.[2][3][4][5] After the 2023 Nigerien coup, these countries formed a continuous chain stretching between the east and west coasts of Africa.[6]
