Why do you think you're right?

According to this great article

https://projects.voanews.com/african-coups/

There have been 111 successful coups since 1950. 

Thies yields a base rate of 75% for our timeframe. ((111/74)/2)

Countries that recently experienced coups (like Niger, Sudan, Mali, Gabon) are vulnerable to experience one again and rising extremist sentiment might also lift the risk further. 

Sudan has historically experienced the most coups and I believe it's risk is still high.

I will therefore start slightly above the historical base rate and adjust according to developments.

Why might you be wrong?
Sudden political stabilization in the region due to international intervention (maybe from former colonial powers but even Russians presence might help stabilize balance of power)
