We Benin citizens condemn Franco-Nigerian intervention in our country and demand the immediate departure of the foreign forces of aggression,” the Party declared.
The Communist Party of Benin (PCB) has vehemently condemned what it described as a “foreign military intervention” in the country, following the reported aborted military coup d’état on Sunday, December 7, 2025
In a statement issued on Monday, the party insisted that the deployment of foreign troops – reportedly from France and Nigeria – severely compromised Benin’s sovereignty and was an “insult and humiliation” to the nation’s political and military institutions.
Citing verified information, the PCB slammed Tinubu for doing the bidding of French President Emmanuel Macron who had requested Nigerian President Bola Tinubu, to intervene.
The party further alleged that additional Nigerian ground forces entered Benin through the Sèmè border to reinforce the operation
The PCB argued that the reported foreign military action was tantamount to a total loss of national control.
This event is extremely serious… It represents the placement of our country under supervision; a pure and simple transformation of Benin into a French colony,” the party declared.
