Description
The front pages of Beninese newspapers are dominated by the story that prosecutors said three prominent men including a presidential guard commander have been arrested on suspicion of planning a "coup d'etat" and two analysts speak of this being an "uncertain" and "sensitive" period for the West African nation. "We know we're entering a very sensitive period, a very very sensitive electoral period and so I'm not sure how the judicial calendar will be set in relation to the political calendar and everything, I don't know,” says Thiburce Adagbe, a writer and political analyst.
