Arrested after a demonstration demanding the expulsion of French troops, Beninese activists reiterate their commitment to fighting French neocolonialism upon their release.

“What is evident is that Benin is now at war—a war waged by French imperialism through proxy jihadist forces,” argues Damien Zinsou Degbe of Benin’s Council of Patriotic Youth, which has organized several protests demanding the expulsion of French troops.
