Why does ONI want to stage coups and sabotage the sangheili after the war ended (think kilo 5 ttrilogy)? It was never quite clear to me.

Atomic summed it up nicely.

To ensure that they wouldn't be a threat to humanity again.

But they continued to be allies with humanity after. How does sabotaging your ally make sense?

They wanted to sabotage the entirety of all Sangheili so that they would be too busy fighting each other to fight humanity. Remember the UNSC is only allied with Swords of Sanghelios (Arbiter's faction). Mostly all other splinter factions are against being allies with humanity.

OK that's a much better explanation

Just a side note: I'd recommend watching Halo 2 Anniversary terminals about Locke talking about Vadame. Just another reason for them to sabotage Sangheili.
