Benin government says short-lived coup left casualties on both sides
In tonight's edition, life begins to return to normal in Benin, 24 hours after an attempt to overthrow President Patrice Talon was foiled by the authorities and neighbouring Nigeria. Also, 100 Nigerian schoolchildren who were abducted last month have been released in Nigeria. And just days after signing a peace deal with Rwanda, Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi accuses Kigali of violating the US-brokered agreement.
