Foreign AffairsCoup Underway In Benin Republic As Military Attacks President Talon’s Residence, by iwaeda(op): 10:04am On Dec 07, 2025
Reports from Beninese media indicate that a coup d’état has been unfolding in Cotonou since dawn on Sunday, December 7, 2025.

According to media outlet TchadOne, President Patrice Talon’s residence in the Le Guézo neighbourhood was attacked by a group of military personnel led by Lieutenant Colonel Pascal Tigri.

Later in the morning, Lieutenant Colonel Tigri appeared on national television, which is reported to be under military control, declaring himself “chairman of the military re-establishment committee.”



The situation in the capital remains extremely volatile, with reports of troop movements at several strategic locations across Cotonou.

TchadOne promised to provide minute-by-minute updates as events continue to unfold.

No official statement has yet been released by President Talon or his government regarding the attacks.

West Africa has been gripped by a troubling wave of coups in recent years, underscoring the fragility of democratic institutions across the region.

Guinea-Bissau became the latest flashpoint in November 2025, when army generals seized power on the eve of a presidential election. Heavy gunfire erupted near the presidential palace in Bissau, and President Umaro Sissoco Embaló was detained.

The military suspended the electoral process, citing threats to national stability, and installed General Horta Inta-A as head of a one-year transitional government.

The move deepened Guinea-Bissau’s long history of political instability, drawing condemnation from ECOWAS and prompting Nigeria to grant asylum to opposition candidate Fernando Dias da Costa amid fears for his safety.

Mali’s political crisis has simmered since its 2020 and 2021 coups, which brought Colonel Assimi Goïta to power. In August 2025, the junta announced it had thwarted another coup attempt, arresting two generals and a French national accused of plotting to destabilize the transitional government.

The arrests came against a backdrop of growing frustration: political parties remain banned, elections have been indefinitely postponed, and the junta has tightened its grip on power.

Mali’s instability has been compounded by jihadist violence and strained relations with Western partners, fueling fears of further unrest.



Burkina Faso, under Captain Ibrahim Traoré since the 2022 coup, also faced a foiled coup attempt in April 2025.

Authorities disclosed that senior officers had conspired with terrorist groups to topple the junta, prompting lockdowns of military barracks and heightened security in Ouagadougou.

The government rallied public support against alleged Western interference, but internal divisions within the military and worsening jihadist attacks have kept the country on edge.

The junta has postponed elections and introduced sweeping reforms, including a controversial plan to restore the death penalty for treason and terrorism, signaling its determination to consolidate control.

Niger Republic’s coup in July 2023 marked another turning point.

President Mohamed Bazoum, elected in the country’s first peaceful democratic transfer of power, was detained by his own presidential guard. General Abdourahamane Tchiani, head of the guard, declared himself leader with backing from the armed forces.

The junta justified its takeover as necessary to address economic hardship and security threats, but two years on, Niger remains under military rule, with ECOWAS sanctions and strained ties with Western allies shaping its trajectory.

Popular demonstrations in Niamey have reflected both support for the junta and resentment toward foreign influence.

PoliticsBandits Attack Mosque In Kiba Ruwa Sokoto, Kill Imam, 1 Other, Kidnap Worshipper by iwaeda(op): 8:09pm On Dec 06, 2025
Bandits in the early hours of Saturday launched a deadly attack on worshippers observing the Subh prayer in Kiba Ruwa, a community in the Sabon-Birni Local Government Area of Sokoto State.

According to local sources who spoke with Egbe Mekun Parrots, the assailants stormed the mosque at dawn, opening fire on the congregants.

Two people including the imam who was leading the prayer were confirmed dead.

Several worshippers were also abducted during the assault, with the exact number yet to be verified.

Security agencies have reportedly been alerted, while residents remain in a state of fear as search and rescue efforts begin.

In neighbouring Kebbi State, bandits weeks ago attacked the Government Girls’ Comprehensive Senior Secondary School, Maga, in the Danko/Wasagu Local Government Area, where 26 schoolgirls were abducted.

All soldiers previously stationed at the school had been summoned to Abuja for interrogation as part of efforts to determine why the security post was vacated shortly before the attack.

Previously, SaharaReporters reported that Nasir Idris, the governor of Kebbi, expressed alarm over what he described as the “withdrawal of military personnel” from the Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School, Maga, shortly before bandits stormed the facility and abducted several students.

The governor said the situation was particularly disturbing because the state had earlier received intelligence warning of a possible attack and had immediately convened a security meeting to address the threat.

“As a responsive government, when we received intelligence on a possible attack, we summoned a security meeting,” NAN quoted the governor as saying.

"The security agencies assured us that all was well and that personnel would be mobilised to the school.

“The military was deployed, but they later withdrew by 3am, and by 3:45am, the incident happened.”

Idris also said the state had demanded a thorough inquiry into the circumstances that led to the withdrawal of troops.

“Who authorised the military to withdraw?” How did security personnel pull out at such a critical time? That is our concern. We have asked the military to investigate and identify who gave that order,” the governor said.

The Maga District Head, Muhammad Dantani, also raised serious concerns over the role of the Nigerian military in the recent attack on Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School in Kebbi State, where armed bandits killed a staff member and abducted 25 students.

The Chairman of the Northern Governors’ Forum and Governor of Gombe State, Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya, says the failure to understand the grievances that pushed armed bandits to take up weapons is one of the major factors worsening insecurity across northern Nigeria.


In an interview with the BBC Hausa Service monitored by our correspondent in Kaduna, Governor Yahaya revealed that the 19 northern governors have agreed to establish a joint regional security coordination agency, with each state contributing ₦1 billion monthly to strengthen collective responses to kidnapping, banditry, and school closures.



This decision was reached during the Northern Governors’ meeting earlier in the week, following a surge in attacks that have led to mass abductions and the shutdown of schools in several states.

Speaking further, Governor Yahaya explained that part of the security deterioration stems from the unjust treatment and marginalisation of pastoralist communities, which created anger, frustration, and conditions exploited by criminal networks.



He emphasised that addressing the root causes—including exclusion, lack of justice, and economic hardship—remains central to ending the conflict.

The governor added that the new regional security framework will improve intelligence-sharing, joint operations, and preventive strategies across the affected states.
