User:SolaceEaSw/West African-Beninese War

The West African-Beninese War, also known as the West African War, was a conflict that occurred in the West African Confederation, Benin, Kamerun, and Niger from 6 July 1993 to the Siege of Parakou on 10 December 1995. A military proxy conflict during the height of the post-colonial African Cold War, the war was officially fought between the West African Confederation and the Sequeira regime of the Republic of Benin. Having been one of the founders of the United African Alliance, the West African Confederation had been supported by Algeria, Niger, Chad, and Athyubia; as a fundamental state in the South African Defense Organization, the Republic of Benin under Sequeira's regime had been supported by the Transvaal Union, the Republic of Kamerun under the Álvares regime, the Union of the Congo, and the Republic of Kinia. The war, albeit shorter than the Second Garanganja Uprising and the Somalian Civil War, caused an overall death toll estimated at 1,200,000, with over 800,000 deaths being those of civilian casualties.
