Country List World Factbook Home The World Factbook Benin Introduction Benin Background: Present day Benin was the site of Dahomey, a prominent West African kingdom that rose in the 15th century. The territory became a French Colony in 1872 and achieved independence on 1 August 1960, as the Republic of Benin. A succession of military governments ended in 1972 with the rise to power of Mathieu KEREKOU and the establishment of a government based on Marxist-Leninist principles. A move to representative government began in 1989. Two years later, free elections ushered in former Prime Minister Nicephore SOGLO as president, marking the first successful transfer of power in Africa from a dictatorship to a democracy. KEREKOU was returned to power by elections held in 1996 and 2001, though some irregularities were alleged.

Extractions: GEOGRAPHY Benin, a narrow, north-south strip of land in West Africa, lies between the Equator and the Tropic of Cancer. Benins latitude ranges from 6 30N to 12 30N and its longitude from 1 E to 3 40E. Benin is bounded by Togo to the west, Burkina Faso and Niger to the north, Nigeria to the east, and the Bight of Benin to the south. With an area of 112,622 square kilometers, roughly the size of Pennsylvania, Benin extends from the Niger River in the north to the Atlantic Ocean in the south, a distance of 700 km. (about 500 mi.). Although the coastline measures 121 km. (about 80 mi.), the country measures about 325 km. (about 215 mi.) at its widest point. It is one of the smaller countries in West Africa: eight times smaller than Nigeria, its neighbor to the east. It is, however, twice as large as Togo, its neighbor to the west. A relief map of Benin shows that it has little variation in elevation (average elevation 200 meters). Benins climate is hot and humid. Annual rainfall in the coastal area averages 36 cm. (14 in.), not particularly high for coastal West Africa. Benin has two rainy and two dry seasons. The principal rainy season is from April to late July, with a shorter less intense rainy period from late September to November. The main dry season is from December to April, with a short cooler dry season from late July to early September. Temperatures and humidity are high along the tropical coast. In Cotonou, the average maximum temperature is 31

Extractions: Also in this section: History Government Economy Benin is bordered by Nigeria to the east, Togo to the west, Burkina Faso to the north-west, Niger to the north-east, and the Atlantic Ocean to the south. The total area measures 114,763 square kilometers; Benin is about 700km long and 120km wide in the South, increasing to 300km wide in the North. It is roughly two-thirds the size of Portugal, or about the same size as the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. The terrain of Benin varies greatly between the North and South. The South is a coastal plain with dense vegetation and several lagoons near the coast. The lagoons are created by the flow of the country's three major rivers (the Ouémè, the Couffo, and the Mono) into the coastal plain's sand bar. The largest lagoon, Lac Nokoué, divides Cotonou and Porto Novo. This lake is also home to Ganvié, the famous fishing village built on stilts. In the North, the terrain becomes more barren and mountainous. In the far North, the Atakora mountains reach a height of 658 meters. Climate Like the terrain, Benin's climate varies greatly from North to South. The South has a sub-equatorial climate, with 2 dry seasons and 2 rainy seasons (rainy seasons are April-July and October-November). The temperature in the South ranges from about 18-35°C (65-95°F). In the North, the climate is tropical, consisting of one dry season and one rainy season (rainy season from June-October). The temperature varies more in the North, reaching 46°C (115°F) during the hottest part of the year, which is from March to June.
