亚赫亚·卡努

Yahya Kanu was among a small group of officers whose actions helped turn Sierra Leone's war-era political crisis into military rule in 1992. His name appears among the officers associated with the coup that removed President Joseph Momoh and brought the National Provisional Ruling Council to power. He stood at the intersection of battlefield failure, mutiny, and regime change. Kanu was connected to the frustrated state of the Sierra Leone Army during the early rebel war, the 29 April 1992 coup, and the way military intervention reshaped the state's response to the conflict. The Sierra Leone civil war was not only a struggle between rebels and government; it was also a story of how military institutions under pressure could fracture the political order from within.
