Troops and warplanes deployed in Benin after ‘failed coup attempt’
West African Ecowas forces sent to country after group of soldiers announced dissolution of government on state TV


West African troops were deployed to Benin on Sunday after what the country’s president described as an unsuccessful coup attempt.

Benin’s president, Patrice Talon, said on Sunday that the situation was “totally under control” after security forces acted to end a coup attempt by a group of soldiers who attacked state institutions.

But Ecowas – West Africa’s regional bloc – said it had ordered the immediate deployment of elements of its standby force to the country, which has a population of about 14.5 million.
