Benin’s military seized power, overthrew President Patrice Talon, and dissolved the government.
On December 7, 2025, soldiers in Benin announced a military takeover via state television, dissolving the government and removing President Patrice Talon.
The group, calling itself the Military Committee for Refoundation, declared it had seized power and appointed Lt. Col. Pascal Tigri as its leader.
The coup attempt, which involved seizing a national TV station, has suspended the constitution and disrupted the country’s democratic governance.
Authorities later reported arresting a dozen soldiers linked to the failed coup, indicating internal conflict within the military.
The situation remains unstable, with no official explanation for the actions and international reactions pending.
