Following a day of profound uncertainty on Sunday, initiated by the unexpected broadcast of military personnel on national television declaring the ousting of President Patrice Talon, the head of state confirmed that evening that the national situation was now “completely under control.”
Some perpetrators involved in the attempted coup d’état in Bénin, which was thwarted on Sunday, remain at large, and authorities are actively continuing their search. Despite this, all individuals who were held captive, including several high-ranking officers, have been successfully liberated. This situation unfolds as the broader region mobilizes efforts to offer various forms of assistance, notably military support.
