Multiple countries, including France, the United States, Japan, Italy, Bulgaria, Norway, the United Kingdom, and Denmark, have issued travel alerts for their citizens in response to a coup in Benin. The alerts advise citizens to avoid crowds, shelter in place, or refrain from all travel to the area.
This situation follows recent developments in the region, including the growing JNIM insurgency in northern Benin and previous coups that have exacerbated instability. In a related incident, Benin"s President Talon announced a failed coup attempt earlier this year, which resulted in the arrest of special forces members.
As of December 7, 2025, the situation remains fluid, and citizens are urged to stay informed and heed the advice of their respective governments.
