On December 7, 2025, Benin woke up to chaos after a group of soldiers attempted a dramatic coup against President Patrice Talon. Rebel forces took over state TV, gunfire echoed across Cotonou, and confusion swept the nation. Within hours, loyalist troops pushed back with support from Nigeria and ECOWAS, ending the mutiny — but the political and regional implications remain huge.
In this episode, Beyond Borders and Lifestyles breaks down what really happened, why the coup failed, who is behind the unrest, and what this means for West Africa as Benin heads toward its 2026 elections.
