Both countries have only conducted reconnaissance missions in Benin, which had reportedly authorized the deployment of troops on its territory for
possible military intervention by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the media reported.
The military in Benin are still waiting for orders from the politicians, the report read.
On September 13, Niger's military leaders announced it would
