Did he do the right thing declaring himself Emperor?
In my opinion, in the long run, it could have led to legitimization and redemocratization as per constitution, while still allowing for gradual return to stability.
Plus, better than president-dictator bullshit.

Maybe not, but he definitely did the wrong thing by spending a third of his country's annual budget for his coronation when he could have used it for more productive means.

I mean, yeah, but when 20 million $ is a third of your annual budget then it's not hard to do that.

I spend less than 20 million dollars everyday

You're not an emperor.
20 million $ is a small amount of money relative to that.
>>1385105
Not when you're the "Emperor" of a tiny little African Nation.
You every see that 30 by 30 ESPN documentary "Broke"?
Same thing.
