They stormed his complex in the morning, put him at gun point on a plane, and sent him to another country.
This is clearly a coup. The president may have been attempting power grabs but there were still legal means to stop him. Instead the military used force to remove the current president and install another president illegally.
The scary part is the new president was installed via the military. This means he has influence with the military and is not afraid to use that influence. Right now he is technically a dictator that claims he won't run at the end of the year but it really isn't known if there is any truth to that.
The previous president was democratically elected and as much as someone might dislike him that was the will of the people. This coup was sprung by the military not the people. If it had been the people rising up i'd be ok with it as it would still be a form of democracy.
