Benin’s interior minister says a coup attempt announced earlier on state television has been foiled, after a small group of soldiers declared the dissolution of the government and the removal of President Patrice Talon. Authorities say the armed forces remained loyal to the republic, in an incident that adds to regional concerns over military takeovers in West Africa.
