Benin foiled a coup attempt on Dec. 7, 2025, after soldiers seized TV, dissolved the government, and were arrested by loyal forces.
Benin’s interior minister says a coup attempt was foiled after a group of soldiers briefly seized state television, announced the dissolution of the government, and named Lt. Col. Pascal Tigri as leader of a self-declared military committee.
Loyalist forces quickly regained control, restored state broadcasting, and arrested several soldiers, while President Patrice Talon—unconfirmed publicly—was reported safe.
The incident comes amid broader regional turmoil, including recent coups in Guinea-Bissau, and drew swift condemnation from ECOWAS, which pledged support for constitutional order.
