Talon Steps Down as Benin Faces Authoritarian Criticism

South African police arrested Kemi Seba and his son in Pretoria for illegal Zimbabwe entry.
Benin issued an international warrant for Seba on 'inciting rebellion' after supporting a foiled coup.
Seba heads the NGO Pan-Africanist Emergency and lost French citizenship in 2024.
A court moved the case to April 20 while keeping the group in custody.
A facilitator was paid R250,000 to help them cross the Limpopo River toward Europe.
Benin's President Patrice Talon resigned after two terms amid authoritarian criticism.
