Young people hold placards and flags as they march during a rally organized by youth in support of Beninese President Patrice Talon and the preservation of democracy at Amazon Square in Cotonou on December 13, 2025. Hundreds of mainly young people gathered in Benin's capital Cotonou on Saturday to decry last Sunday's abortive coup. Participants waving national flags and with raised fists brandished slogans such as "Never Again" as they demanded peace, stability and respect for constitutional order.
