Following Niger's refusal to open the Benin-Niger border, Benin's president Patrice Athanase Guillaume TALON taken a dim view of Nigerien oil passing through Benin to Nigeria. His expectations have not been there, hence he has gone so far as to threaten to block oil tankers from entering national waters to load oil that is supposed to pass through a pipeline from neighbouring Niger. He is not in a position to threaten Niger. Talon's Benin must reassure the brotherly country "Niger" that it will not be a channel for destabilizing Niger. If Niger behaves in a distrustful manner towards Benin, it is because Talon had shown African incivility after the coup d'état. As far as oil is concerned, it is with China that Benin will justify itself because this project has cost China 🇨🇳 more than $400 million. This threat is likely to be wind. Let Benin reassure Niger and everything will be better. #beni #niger #petrol
