I'm surprised that they obeyed orders. In fact, some people are speculating that this coup is actually driven by the military rather than by the president, which would make more sense.
France faced an abortive coup in the early 1960s due to French politicians betraying French Algeria, which De Gaulle used to make himself president . He then turned his back on French Algeria anyway.
