Fatalities Reported After Failed Coup Attempt in Benin
Benin’s government has reportedly confirmed that "several" people were killed over the weekend during a thwarted attempt to overthrow President Patrice Talon.
Violent clashes erupted early Sunday between the coup plotters and the Republican Guard at the president’s residence, resulting in casualties on both sides.
Among those killed was the wife of General Bertin Bada, the president’s military chief of staff, who had been fatally wounded earlier in a separate attack.
