"One of the surprising things about the failed coup in Benin is that the last SUCCESSFUL coup there took place more than half a century ago in 1972 (and President Talon is not a candidate in the April 2026 election as hes standing down after X terms). However shortly after independence in 1960 Dahomey (as Benin was then known) experienced six successful military coups between 1963 and 1972. On the whole the mutinous soldiers broke some African coup rules: X. Avoid a coup against a leader with a low-to-moderate inflation economy. For example in 2024 official estimates suggested around 1.2%"

"Namibia and Egypt offer some of the best noctourism (travel and leisure activities that take place primarily at night) in the world according to EXPLORE. Namibia has unforgettable stunning beaches and incredible wildlife and some of that wildlife only comes out at night Astro tourism is a huge draw. The clear air of the Namib Desert coupled with an absolute absence of light pollution offers skies so clear you won't need any skill at all to take some truly breathtaking shots. Still few nighttime excursions are ever as rewarding as a trip up the Skeleton Coast an untamed beauty"

"REVISITING SOME OF THE STRANGEST AND WEIRDEST BORDERS IN AFRICA - Monday X - The Gambia is one of Africas most obviously artificial countries in shape. It follows the River Gambia inland for XXX Km while Senegal wraps almost entirely around it leaving The Gambia a narrow strip (25km at its narrowest point) with a short 80Km Atlantic coast. Its a textbook example of colonial-era carving to control a river rather than any natural nationhood. This bizarre shape resulted from British-French colonial agreements in the late 19th century with Britain controlling navigation along the river"

"REVISITING SOME OF THE STRANGEST AND WEIRDEST BORDERS IN AFRICA - Monday X - At the Zambezi/Chobe river junction the borders of Zambia Botswana Namibia and Zimbabwe converge so closely that its often mistakenly called the world's only quadripoint. The borders miss by mere metres (due to river surveying) creating one of the closest approximations and the world's shortest international border (between Zambia and Botswana about XXX metres). The new Kazungula Bridge (ZambiaBotswana) sits in this very odd intersection one of the few places in the world where four countries borders squeeze into a"

"If the current pace of coups continues analysts estimate that by 2030 at least XX African countries could be under direct military control marking a significant expansion of junta influence across the continent. With the November XX 2025 putsch in Guinea-Bissau X African nations are now under direct military rule - Mali Burkina Faso Niger Guinea Sudan Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau. With nearly a tenth of the continent under junta control this is likely the highest concentration of militaryruled states in decades. General Horta Inta-A (photo) in his early 60s was named Guinea-Bissaus new junta"
