West Africa witnessed high drama after a group of soldiers stormed state television in Benin to announce what they claimed was the removal of President Patrice Talon and suspension of state institutions. Identifying themselves as the “Military Committee for Refoundation,” the soldiers declared the government dissolved during a televised address. However, senior officials later confirmed the situation was under control. According to the interior minister, the attempted coup was foiled and key state locations—including the president’s residence—remained secure. Citizens have been urged to continue normal activities.
