The assizes court handed down a thirty-year sentence against this former jihadist fighter, while prosecutors had sought life imprisonment.

The September 10 attack by the JNIM on a military camp in the Mopti region reportedly killed at least 100 people, according to several sources.

Since 2022, fighters affiliated with Al-Qaeda have multiplied attacks and abuses in northern regions of Benin, notably using two national parks as logistical bases, according to France 24.
