IMO a coup attempt is a very different thing from an revolt. Coups are top down, while revolts are bottom up. Which means that a coup is very easy for a hierarcical structure to support, while the overlapping unstructired movement of a revolt is much harder to stear from the outside. There is obviously attempts to do that anyway, and it might be successful too, but its not the same thing
