Benin’s Coup Failed in 17 Minutes | The Most EMBARRASSING Mutiny Ever!

Video Description

Benin just made history — for the fastest and most embarrassing coup attempt Africa has ever seen. In a chaotic, poorly planned mutiny that lasted just 17 minutes, a small group of soldiers tried to overthrow the government… and failed spectacularly. Nothing went right. Nothing. This Black Culture Diary investigation uncovers the almost unbelievable chain of blunders behind Benin’s failed coup: soldiers who didn’t know the plan, a leader who panicked mid-operation, equipment that jammed, and loyal forces who shut the entire mutiny down before most citizens even woke up. We break down leaked radio chatter, eyewitness accounts, and security footage revealing how the coup collapsed in real time. Why did they attempt it? Who funded it? And why was this operation so disastrously unprepared compared to coups in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger? As regional leaders react with disbelief and analysts call it “the shortest coup in modern African history,” one thing is clear: this mutiny will be remembered — not for danger, but for humiliation. As the African Diaspora saying goes, "I am because we are, and we are because I am."
