Hundreds of trucks bound for Niger have been blocked in Malanville, the border town between Benin and Niger, following the coup.
This has been going on for weeks, with Benin having closed its border with Niger in accordance with one of the decisions taken by the ECOWAS. Transporters in the border town have been hard hit according to reports gathered.
“When you’re parked like that, the validity of the insurance runs out every day, the technical inspection too, the papers are running out. Let’s not even talk about the food here. How much are you going to eat in two weeks?” drivers laments.
