A new musical has opened to audiences in Benin. “The Throne of Béhanzin” tells the story of a king’s journey to power, battle for his country and eventual exile to Martinique by colonial ruler France. Meanwhile, a year has passed since Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso formed their own defense pact. The AES confederation has since moved to launch new biometric passports and its own media platform. Finally, an oil refinery in Nigeria that could be a game changer for the country has finally started supplying fuel to local, petrol-starved markets.
