COUP IN BENIN
A Faction of the military apparently has ousted President Patrice Talón, seizing the media stations and spraying the bullets of the president's house. Apparently he is another french neocolonial subject
This is good. I know there's been controversies about West African coup leaders being semi-reactionary but anything that topples European/Western Neocolonial parasitic influences is progress.
>>2586768I don't think we have enough information to know yet, it could be another palace coup like in Gabon.
>>2586769Or the Guinea one that led to nothing?
Says the Mirror:
>Local media reports have however said the regular army is now attempting to regain control, with the capital Cotonou secure while the president and his family are safe.
Looks like it could just be this one faction of the army
Coup thwarted. France wins this time.
>>2586795Sankarabros I don't feel so good…. :(
We can never have nice things
>>2586795I mean it's not impossible there is another one later on, Coups are becoming more and more frequent in the area
>>2586809Why? The arc of history moves in our favour.
Another ECOWAS victory :(
i've yet to see evidence on this board that this coup government are good other than >teehee fuck france!
>>2587126??? Do you not like tomato?
>>2587126>france no longer being able to extort 80% of an african nations economy isn't importantignoramus
>>2587126nobody even know who they are and they failed anyway, how the fuck can you want "evidence on this board that this coup government are good" retard
also anyone who try to coup the french puppet can be reasonably assumed to be pro aes, which is good. The current president that talon comprador fuck also just modified the constitution to make himself the eternal president
>>2587129none of them have dropped the cfa franc
>>2587134That only scratches the surface. There's also the French treasury.
>>2587133>The current president that talon comprador fuck also just modified the constitution to make himself the eternal presidentthat's literally not true though?
In case you didn't know, the French Air Force bombed Benin this time. In fact, they're still bombing it.
>>2587133>he current president that talon comprador fuck also just modified the constitution to make himself the eternal presidentThat's an autogolpe. I just wanted to type that musical Spanish word.
Makes me wonder if Talon coup-proofed in advance. The coupsters were unfamiliar with his game.
This morning:
>The coup is over, don't worry fellow allies
This evening:
>FRANCE AND NIGERIA SAVE ME
>Nigeria preparing to invade if the coup succeed
>>2587425juste admets que tu as eu tort. il n'y a pas des mentions à propos de devenir le président à vie dans ces liens.
and inb4 people here sperg out at me for daring to speak the DEVIL's language. i'm not french, i'm mexican.
>>2587836>no mention of lifetime presidencybecause it doesnt use the regular presidency position (where they just added 2 years to give them more time to entrench their power before the next elections), but the newly created senate president position, the senate being unelected, for life, and concentrating ridiculous power
I will post some translated excerpts :
>On the early morning of Saturday, November 15, 2025, with the hasty adoption of a new Constitution under emergency procedures, creating a despotic monarchy, a black veil fell over our beloved homeland.
>We extend our hand to all of you, inviting you to gird your loins, to show heroism and a spirit of sacrifice. We call on you to rise up against despotism to save the homeland, democracy, and a bright future for Benin. Young women and men of Benin, Young people from all corners of our country, Stand up, for the Day of Glory is coming! Forward for the homeland and democracy!
>On the night of December 14 to 15, "our people saw a new constitution imposed on them through violence, maneuvering, pressure, and manipulation of all kinds. " Thus, we are witnessing the advent of a monarchical constitution with "a Senate concentrating in its hands all powers, including those of the people (constituent), legislative, executive, and judicial powers; a Senate made up of unelected people whose members, appointed for life, rule over all the constitutional institutions of the country. There is no other term for this than a despotic monarchy. And when we know that the President of this new institution will be none other than the current President, Patrice Talon, we can clearly see the logic behind it."
>Faced with what appears to be inevitable, I urge all my fellow citizens not to sink into despair… I urge all forces, whether political, social, moral, or religious, committed to democracy, justice, humanity, and the homeland, to unite in a sacred union and use all legal and legitimate means to save the homeland and democracy. Today, the word is sacred union to meet the challenge of tyranny. No to the establishment of a despotic monarchy in Benin! No to the monarchical Constitution!
>UAPDB, the Patriotic Action Unit of the Beninese Diaspora, strongly condemns the constitutional coup d'état carried out on the night of November 15, 2025, by the 9th legislature. Under the false pretext of a “revision,” the deputies imposed on the people a new illegitimate Constitution, achieved through fraud, concealment, and manipulation. The repeated power cuts during the counting of ballots alone testify to the clandestine and shameful nature of this maneuver against popular sovereignty.>This text, drafted without the people's input and against their will, destroys the 1990 Constitution in its ssence, its balance, and its democratic spirit. It brings about a brutal shift toward a monarchical regime, rganized around an institutional framework tailored to personal power:>• an omnipotent, unelected Senate, appointed for life, concentrating constitutional, legislative, executive, and supervisory powers;>• a locked institutional architecture, designed to place this Senate under the direct control of the head of state and to neutralize any form of alternation or countervailing power;>• the extension of the presidential term to seven years, without democratic justification, designed to prolong the grip of a regime already marked by repeated violations of the will of the people.>By crossing this red line, the Rupture regime is completing the destruction of the democratic gains of 1989 enshrined in the 1990 constitution in order to establish a political order based on fear, silence, and obedience. This latest blow aims to stifle and permanently eliminate all citizen participation, institutionalize the muzzling and militarization of institutions, and perpetuate the country's subjugation to private interests, clientelism, and well-known external influences.>However, the Beninese people have never mandated anyone to establish a monarchy in this country. This Constitution, imposed overnight, is politically null and void, morally illegitimate, and democratically unacceptable. It is binding only on those who fabricated it against the Nation. Faced with this extremely serious situation, the UAPDB calls on all political, social, trade union, religious, and patriotic forces to form a unified national front, as broad as possible, determined to block, by all legal and legitimate means, this perpetuation of the confiscation of power.
>The Cultural Committee for Democracy in Benin (CCDB) strongly condemns the constitutional coup orchestrated on the night of November 15, 2025, by the 9th legislature. Under the pretext of a “revision,” the deputies imposed on the Beninese people a new Constitution drafted without consultation, without national debate, and under opaque conditions marked by power cuts intended to disrupt the counting of votes. Such a process constitutes a flagrant denial of the basic rights of the people.>For the CCDB, this is not a simple institutional slip-up:>it is the culmination of a long-standing process by which the ruling power seeks to confiscate the constituent power of the people and install a system designed to last at the expense of public freedoms. The new architecture unveiled on November 15—the creation of a Senate appointed for life, the concentration of powers without control, the extension of the presidential term to seven years—is not democratic. It bears the hallmarks of a personalized, verticalized, potentially hereditary, monarchical regime that is incompatible with the aspirations of the Beninese people.(fuck your flood detected, cant it spot we're fixing mistake from a self deleted post)
>Sahel Confederation issues harsh warning after Nigerian aircraft violates Burkinabè airspace amid Benin coup fallout
>Mali’s military government has released a communiqué announcing that a Nigerian EC-130 helicopter was forced to land in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso after entering Burkinabè airspace without authorization on December 8.
>The aircraft carried 11 Nigerian military personnel (2 crew, 9 passengers). An investigation by Burkinabè authorities concluded the craft had no overflight clearance.
>The Sahel Confederation, made up of Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, condemned the incursion as a “violation of sovereignty” and announced that all confederal air-defense systems have been placed on maximum alert, with authorization to neutralize any aircraft entering AES (Alliance of Sahel States) airspace without approval.
>The incident occurs as regional forces mobilize around the failed coup attempt in Benin, where Nigeria and France are reported to be conducting military operations.
France behind the orders to attack Benin with airstrikes.
