Heads up: On Sunday, Benin’s armed forces stopped an attempted mutiny that tried to seize power. 🚨 UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is raising the red flag, urging everyone to respect the Constitution and defend democracy.
Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said the UN chief unequivocally condemns any attempt to undermine democratic governance in Benin, warning such moves could destabilize the entire region. 🌍
Interior Minister Alassane Seidou confirmed the plot was stopped before it could take hold — a win for Benin’s stability. But the message is clear: rule of law matters. ✊
Why it matters: From Dhaka to Jakarta, we’re all about standing up for democratic values. Whether it’s youth-led campaigns in Manila or peaceful marches in Colombo, upholding the rule of law keeps our communities strong. 💪
Guterres’ call is simple — respect the Constitution, follow the rule of law, and stand firm against any power grab. Let’s stay informed and support democratic values everywhere! 📢
