Instability is relative. Farming communities are partially insulated against the economic effects of a coup, some may even benefit as food prices have gone up and imports of certain goods have ceased. Other workers are not and there is much uncertainty whether the goods they produce can be exported and what the value of the national currency will be. This leads to layoffs and high prices of basic consumer goods.

There is also the possibility of greater oppression of certain ethnic minorities and of those who practice traditional religions as opposed to Islam. The coup leadership has not said they will do anything like that, but they are to the right of the previous government.

nah it’s definitely bad. broken clocks etc.

Western capital is just mad because instability will slow production of cheap imports and they will have to start from scratch with new bribes and business relationships.

They also have very little sunlight in the winter months so seasonal depression is just going to be a thing there no matter what.
