🇧🇯 BENIN has spoken, even if the coup failed, the message did not Congratulations to the courageous sons of Benin, Lt. Colonel Pascal Tigri, Captain Ousmane Samary, Captain-Major Sambieni Castro, and others. Whether the coup succeeded or not is not the point. The point is that you dared to confront a system that has silenced, ignored and oppressed the very people it claims to govern. Your actions exposed the truth the world tries to hide: Bad governance is crippling Benin. President Talon's leadership is choking the nation. Favoritism within the military is destroying morale. Soldiers who die in the line of duty are forgotten and their families abandoned. Northern Benin bleeds from insecurity while leaders pretend all is well. Corruption eats its roots. France exploit and control the nation. Leaders play puppet masters. These are the grievances of a nation betrayed. You have reminded Africa that resistance is not dead. You have reminded the continent that neocolonial puppetry can and must be challenged. You have reminded oppressed people everywhere that silence is not the only option. The people of Benin and many Africans across the continent are proud of your courage, not because of the weapons you carried, but because of the truth you exposed. Revolutions are not always won in a day. Sometimes they begin with a spark, and that spark becomes a fire the people carry forward. History will remember you as men who stood for a wounded nation.
