Who are the regional leaders France contacted to avert the coup?

Don’t mind that one wey brain empty. Na people like am go talk say education na scam. Na real wa

For their own selfish interests.

Melagros:
COMRADES, I don't know why any country colonised by France doesn't progress/ develop

Ever heard of Cote d’Ivoire? 🤔

If you don't know the powers behind the structural construct of ECOWAS. I guess you now know.

Chicentt:
And Nigeria wanted to take the glory. It was actually France that stoped the coup. This APC and lie lie. Tuehhhhhh

How I wished Military take over Nigeria and let someone like u experience what is called military and authoritative ruling means.

Iran2025:
France is doing that for their own benefit. Africa doesn't need democracy

You're not wrong, man.

I laugh at the cheerleaders and Hossana singers saying France are the lover of democracy in Benin, only if they know that there's more than meet the eyes.

Fishing for glory, even with all the fatigue the region has for you. Desperados. Same way he sabotages Trump's mediation in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Macron is always desperate for attention. You just have to observe him.

I knew France.... had their hands in the saga!

Take your drugs at the right time

I love how APC handlers operate. They set trap to embarrass haters by dropping juicy news that excites them, then the real story comes out later. Expect another update tomorrow where Benin Republic or France acknowledges Nigeria’s role in the failed coup

Kukutente23:
So Tinubu is truly Macron's puppet
This is shameful
As in France? Who France epp?
No wonder he tanked our currency below the CFA after he took office

Wetin Tinubu dey ask from France help I still dont get... is Marcon pretending not to know the security challenges in Nigeria... before Trump came in with full force.... Definitely Tinubu is over afarid of the USA and baba Trump...

So it now he Tinubu needs France .... very silly move!!

Chicentt:

Your comprehension is poor.
The benin president contacted Macron and sort help.
The French president contacted the Sierra Leone president and regional power Nigeria.
The regional power took action and saved the government.

Did you read anywhere where it was said that France sent troops? Stop hating your country it will affect you.

stuffs2002:
Tinubu that you hate stopped the coup.

If France could have stopped coups, why did they not stop Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger. After all there were already French troops Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger and they were expelled after the coups in those countries succeeded.


Even the source of this news you swallowing h]was shady. They never gave any name. All they said was an aid. Aid wey no get name dey?

Why would anyone normal human being like someone that is the greatest curse and calamity to befall his very own Country 😁.

Nor be everybody don sign till death do you part with bad governance like you na,nor be everybody must be zombie like you,e nor go dey ok like dat at all 😁.

I don't hate him but calling him for what he actually is should be a responsibility bcus the man dey destroy my Country.

France helped the authorities in Benin thwart a coup attempt at the weekend, an aide to President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday, revealing a French role in a regional effort that foiled the latest bid to stage a putsch in West Africa.

Macron led a “coordination effort” by speaking with key regional leaders, the aide, asking not to be named, told reporters two days after Sunday’s failed coup bid.

France — at the request of the Beninese authorities — provided assistance “in terms of surveillance, observation and logistical support” to the Benin armed forces, the aide added.

Further details on the nature of the assistance were not immediately available.

A group of soldiers on Sunday took over Benin’s national television station and announced that President Patrice Talon had been deposed.

But loyalist army forces ultimately defeated the attempted putsch with the help of neighbouring Nigeria, which carried out military strikes on Cotonou and deployed troops.

West Africa has endured a sequence of coups in recent years that have severely eroded French influence and presence in what were French colonies until independence.

Mali saw coups in 2020 and 2021, followed by Burkina Faso in 2022 and then Niger in 2023. French forces that had been deployed in these countries for an anti-jihadist operation were consequently forced to withdraw.

A successful putsch in Benin, also a former French colony, would have been seen as a new blow to the standing of Paris and Macron in the region.

Guinea-Bissau, a former Portuguese colony, was meanwhile rocked by a coup in November after elections, which led to military authorities taking over.

‘Caused serious concern’


On Sunday, Macron spoke with Talon as well as the leaders of top regional power Nigeria and Sierra Leone, which holds the presidency of West African regional bloc ECOWAS, the Elysee aide said.

The situation in Benin “caused serious concern for the president (Macron), who unequivocally condemned this attempt at destabilisation, which fortunately failed,” said the aide.


[i]ECOWAS has said troops from Ghana, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone were being deployed to Benin to help the government “preserve constitutional order.”

“Our community is in a state of emergency,” Omar Alieu Touray, president of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), said on Tuesday, highlighting the jihadist threat in the region as well as coups.

The bloc had threatened intervention during Niger’s 2023 coup that deposed president Mohamed Bazoum — an ally of Macron — but ultimately did not act.

France also did not carry out any intervention against the Niger coup.

“France has offered its full political support to ECOWAS, which made a very significant effort this weekend,” said the aide.

At least a dozen plotters had been arrested, and all hostages, including high-ranking officers, had been released by Monday, according to loyalist military sources.

Talon made his own television appearance late Sunday, assuring the country that the situation was “completely under control.”

Talon, 67, is due to hand over the reins of power in April after the maximum-allowed two terms leading Benin, which in recent years has been hit by jihadist violence in the north.

On Tuesday, former Beninese president Thomas Boni Yayi, whose opposition Democrats party has been excluded from next year’s presidential elections, condemned the failed coup.

“I condemn most vigorously and strongly condemn this bloody and shameful attack on our country,” said Boni Yayi, a former chairman of the African Union who served as Benin’s president from 2006 to 2016.

The transfer of state power “responds to a single cardinal and unconditional principle: that of the ballot box, that of the people, that of free and transparent elections”, Boni Yayi added in a video posted on Facebook.

The same zo0 sent the international terro#ist to life imprisonment because he is an animal.

His request to move from sokoto was equally rejected.

Laugh again.

It is more respectful to be in the zoo's correctional facility than to be in the Kwara TERRORISTS camp eating beans and doing frog jump for bandits as one of your Obas is already doing now for more than a week.
