West Africa coastal nations Benin, Togo, Ghana and Ivory Coast are preparing for a potential spillover as Burkina Faso struggles to contain an Islamist militant insurgency gaining ground just across their northern borders.

Benin last year said it was in talks over military and logistical cooperation with Rwanda, whose troops Kagame has already dispatched to help Mozambique and Central African Republic combat unrest. Details about the cooperation were not immediately clear, though the Benin leader said it could include “supervision, coaching, training, joint deployment”.

Benin, Togo and Ivory Coast have already suffered attacks in border areas blamed on jihadists, while Ghana recently reinforced military presence along its own northern frontier.

Talon and Kagame had a one-on-one meeting to discuss relations between the two countries and “the search for strategic partnership” in several areas including security, Benin’s foreign ministry said in a statement.They discussed “the terrorist threat and its spread” as well as the means of strengthening cooperation to deal with it, the statement said.

Benin’s military is battling an expanding threat from jihadist conflicts across its northern border in Burkina Faso and Niger, with around 20 incursions since 2021. A top Benin government official had said last year any agreement would not provide for deployment of Rwandan troops on the ground in Benin.

Benin’s Armed Forces Chief of Army Staff, Brigadier General Fructueux Gbaguidi visited Rwanda last year for talks to deepen the existing relations between the two armies.
