A military coup is underway in the West African nation of Benin.
Soldiers have appeared on national television, saying they have overthrown President Patrice Talon.
We are also getting reports of gunfire near Talon’s residence, that’s located in Benin’s largest city of Cotonou.
Adama Gaye is a Political Analyst and Former Director of Communication at ECOWAS. He explains what we know so far.

How did West Africans forget easily….let go back to Memory lane about this guy that set the Internet on Fire years back…President of Gabon Calls on on his FRIENDS and People around the World to 'Make Noise', It seems this is the period for CORRUPT LEADERS loosing POWER to MAKE MORE NOISE and Very Loud NOISE
But when they are Eating alone with their Families and CRONIES they remain Silent
What is CAMEROON waiting For…..
If that's what will deliver the African countries then so be it. Corruption and impunity is so much rooted in many African countries
This is fake
How you been overthrown by someone leading a group who cant wear a helmet properly😂
You report the ousted President had already chosen his successor. You also report that the current president had arrested opposition leaders. Why is it a surprise to see a coup?
More coup is under way coming , good news for Benin ✊🏿✊🏿👉🏿✊🏿
Let's blame others people, must be america's fault 🎉
They are joking
The 2nd coming of the Messiah – Jesus Christ of Nazareth is nearer. Americano-Anglo empire is the last reign we're witnezzing. Yah Lod Gd The Creator if heavens & earth & all their abundaces is bringing we africans, the only one true children of Adam & Eve, back home from allover this earth planet. He's therefore removing out of presidential leadership powers all african puppets of the NATO, western & american looters, crooked, corrupted leaders, thieves, murderers. AU, ECOWAS & all other puppet organisations must be abolished. Longlive AES, Burkina Faso & president Captain I Traore, Mali & president Colonel A F Goita, Niger & president A Tianie, Tchad, & field marshal president Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno, Madagascar, president Colonel Michael Randrianirina, Guinea Bissau, & president H I N Man president, Russia & president V Putin, China & president X Jiping, Venezuela & president Nicolas Maduro, etc.
Democratic is a scam and fraud
If you wear your helmet like that during a coup, you are guaranteed to fail 🤣😂🤣😅
GOOD GOVERNANCE IS THE SOLUTION TO COUP
I blame Trump. 😂
Matthew kereku ,where is he now ?
Next, Nigeria
I believe most of the countries in the Africa will be united to form the United States of Africa in the future.
I pray these coups finally ushers in an age of a united powerful africa
French speaking countries are funny 😂😂😂😂
if FRANCE want to take AFRICA de whole WORLD Dhall be too SMALL for FRANCE to occupy
Reporter didn’t know where Accra is
hope this turns out to be someone like Ibraham Traore of Burkina Faso.
We can only hope and expect that Africa, all nations and peoples in Africa, will one day regain their sovereignty and wrestle it away from western powers and nations and corporate interests who have robbed Africa for centuries. The good will triumph over the evil.
I have no idea what the poor guest is trying to say
I heard the president elect performed well
Another sad news another militart coup in another african country benin which leads to.instability.and lack of economic progress
As long as they are not puppets of the west, but I still suspect western powers have a hand in there.

Benin is already bought by one millionaire by the gavernment.
This is shame for Benin people .
The Benin people they don't know that Benin is already sold to American milioner so that means Benin is not for the people of Benin.
The gavernment signed to the milioner to have his own soldiers in Benin and Benin people Will work as a slave like before.
Shame for the people of Benin and shame for the gavernment.
