Attempted Coup in Benin: ECOWAS & African Union Condemn Perpetrators
The Economic Community of West African States praised the efforts of the “republican army” and expressed its support for the Beninese government.
"ECOWAS strongly condemns this unconstitutional move that represents a subversion of the will of the people of Benin […] ECOWAS holds the leaders of the plot individually and collectively responsible for any loss of life and property occasioned by their action," the community said.
For his part, AU Commission Chairperson Mahamoud Ali Youssouf urged "all actors involved in the coup attempt to immediately cease all unlawful actions, to fully respect the Constitution of Benin, and to return without delay to their legitimate barracks and professional obligations."
He encouraged "all national stakeholders to prioritize unity, dialogue, and the preservation of national peace."
