Benin’s Communist Party Condemns Nigeria, France Over ‘Foreign Military Intervention’ After Failed Coup The Communist Party of Benin (PCB) has denounced what it calls unlawful foreign military intervention by Nigeria and France following the December 7 failed coup attempt against President Patrice Talon. In a strongly worded statement, the party accused French forces and Nigerian fighter jets of playing decisive roles in quelling the coup, calling the action an assault on Benin’s sovereignty. While rejecting military takeovers, the PCB blamed the Talon administration for deepening political repression and fuelling public anger. It demanded the immediate withdrawal of all foreign forces, warning that continued authoritarian governance makes future instability inevitable. #BeninCoup #ForeignIntervention #PatriceTalon
