The United Nations has issued a warning that goes far beyond Benin.
In a rare and unusually direct briefing, the UN Security Council linked the attempted coup in Benin to a wider regional pattern unfolding across West Africa — one where constitutional manipulation, political exclusion, and parliamentary engineering create the conditions for military intervention.
This assessment directly contradicts Benin’s official narrative.
President Patrice Talon has insisted there was no coup attempt, framing the December 7 events as criminal violence carried out by isolated actors. The UN, however, refused to endorse that interpretation. Instead, it focused on what came before the gunfire — years of institutional decisions that narrowed political space ahead of elections.
In this episode, Frontline Africa breaks down:
Why the UN says coups are outcomes, not surprises
How constitutional and parliamentary moves have preceded coups across West Africa
Why Benin is now being discussed alongside Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, and Guinea
The sharp contrast between Benin and Zambia’s electoral reforms
ECOWAS’s weakening role and the growing reliance on military intervention
What this warning means for Africa’s next election cycle
This is not just about Benin.
It is about a regional system under strain — and a message the UN is sending clearly to African leaders.
Watch to the end. The implications go far beyond one country.
