Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Benin authorities reportedly arrested an opposition party leader in Cotonou on April 2, 2025, conducting searches without proper warrants. The incident represents typical political tensions in the West African nation but appears localized to the capital area.

Supply chain impact
