Benin: Loyal Soldiers Thwart Coup Attempt, Rebel Troops Arrested | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Benin's President Patrice Talon announced on Sunday (December 7) that the government had successfully foiled a coup attempt after a group of soldiers declared on state television that they had ousted President Patrice Talon. The "Military Committee for Refoundation" (CMR) justified its move by citing grievances over the deteriorating security situation in the north, neglect of fallen soldiers' families, and unjust promotions. Loyal army forces, swiftly backed by air support and troops from neighbouring Nigeria, launched a counter-coup operation. President Talon later assured the nation that the situation was "completely under control." The incident, marked by gunfire near the President's residence in Cotonou, has deeply disturbed the populace, who fear the country could follow the path of instability seen in West African neighbors like Niger and Burkina Faso. The failed coup comes just months before the April 2026 presidential election, which marks the end of Talon's second term. --- Benin Coup Attempt | Patrice Talon | Benin Military Committee | CMR Coup Update | Benin Counter Coup | West Africa Instability | Benin Political Crisis | Benin Breaking News | Patrice Talon Speech | Failed Coup Benin | Firstpost Africa | Africa | Global South | Geopolitics | Military Coup | Environment | Climate Change | Firstpost | News Live | World News | Latest News | Global News | International News | News | Trending News #benin #patricetalon #benincoup #coupattempt #westafrica #cotonou #breakingnews #africanews #beninpolitics #countercoup #nigeriaarmy #cmr #firstpostafrica #africa #globalsouth #militarycoup #firstpost #newslive #worldnews #latestnews #globalnews #news #internationalnews #trendingnews Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
