In the last week there have been two unrelated articles about Benin on NYtimes.com! The first is a piece written by singer Angelique Kidjo reflecting on 50 years of independence. The second article is about a scandal involving Yayi Boni, the current president of Benin. I will let you read the article to find out the details for yourself.
It is surprising to see Benin mentioned at all in the NY Times, nevermind getting its own headlines. Most people I know in the States have never even heard of Benin.
