💨 Abstract

In northern Benin, Islamic militant attacks on military posts in the Alibori department left at least 54 soldiers dead, with JNIM, an extremist group linked to al-Qaida, claiming responsibility for the attack. The tri-border area with Burkina Faso, Niger, and Nigeria has long been a hotbed for extremist violence, primarily concentrated around the W-Arly-Pendjari Complex.
