Charu ichi chili kumafumiro gha dazi na Togo, kumafumiro gha dazi na Nigeria, kumpoto cha kumafumiro gha dazi na Burkina Faso, ndipo kumpoto cha kumafumiro gha dazi na Niger. Ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakukhala mumphepete mwa nyanja ya Benin, iyo yili kumpoto kwa nyanja ya Atlantic.[9][2] Msumba ukuru wa charu ichi ni Porto-Novo, ndipo boma lili ku Cotonou. Charu cha Benin chili na malo ghakukwana 114,763 square kilometres (44,310 sq mi) ndipo ŵanthu ŵakukwana 13 million.[10][11] Ni caru cicoko comene ca ku malo gha cimphepo.

Vyaka vyakwambilira

Mapu ghakulongola Kingdom of Dahomey, 1793.

Pambere chaka cha 1600 chindafike, charu cha Benin chikaŵa na vigaŵa vyakupambanapambana. Mu vyaru ivi mukaŵa misumba iyo yikaŵa mumphepete mwa nyanja (manyumba agha ghakaŵa gha fuko la Aja, kweniso gha Yoruba na Gbe) kweniso gha mafuko agho ghakaŵa mukati mwa charu. Ufumu wa Oyo, uwo ukaŵa kumafumiro gha dazi kwa Benin, ukaŵa ufumu wa ŵasilikari mu chigaŵa ichi.[16] Vinthu vikasintha mu vyaka vya m'ma 1700 na 1800, apo Ufumu wa Dahomey, uwo ukaŵa na ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵa Fon, ukazengeka pa malo gha Abomey ndipo ukamba kupoka vigaŵa vinyake mumphepete mwa nyanja.[17] Kuzakafika mu 1727, Themba Agaja la Ufumu wa Dahomey likapoka misumba ya Allada na Whydah. Dahomey wakaŵa kuti wazgoka chigaŵa cha Ufumu wa Oyo, ndipo wakalimbananga na msumba wa Porto-Novo uwo ukaŵa ku chigaŵa cha Oyo kweni wakawukira yayi.[18] Kuwuka kwa Dahomey, mphindano yake na Porto-Novo, na ndyali za mafuko mu cigaŵa ca kumpoto vikalutilira mu nyengo ya ukoloni na ya pamanyuma pake.[19]

Vinthu vikasintha mu vyaka vya m'ma 1700 na 1800, apo Ufumu wa Dahomey, uwo ukaŵa na ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵa Fon, ukazengeka pa malo gha Abomey ndipo ukamba kupoka vigaŵa vinyake mumphepete mwa nyanja.[20]

Ufumu wa Portugal ndiwo ukakhala nyengo yitali comene mu Benin, kwamba mu 1680 m'paka mu 1961, apo ŵasilikari ŵaumaliro ŵakafumako ku Ajudá.

Mathemba gha ku Dahomey ghakaguliskanga ŵazga ŵawo ku vyaru vinyake panji kuŵakoma mwakuyana na kaluso kawo. Kuzakafika mu 1750, Themba la Dahomey likasanganga ndalama zakukwana £250,000 pa chaka pakuguliska ŵazga ŵa ku Africa ku ŵamalonda ŵa ku Europe.[21][22] Malo agha ghakacemekanga kuti "Mphepete mwa Nyanja ya Ŵazga" cifukwa ca malonda gha ŵazga agho ghakacitikanga. Malango gha khoti agho ghakakanizganga kuti ŵanthu ŵanyake awo ŵakakoleka ku nkhondo ŵadumulikeko mitu, ghakachepeskanga unandi wa ŵazga awo ŵakafumanga mu chigaŵa ichi. Ŵanthu aŵa ŵakakwera kufuma pa 102,000 mu 1780 kufika pa 24,000 mu 1860. Cigaŵa cimoza ico cikapangiska kuti caru ici cicepe nchakuti mu 1807, boma la Britain likakanizga kuguliska ŵazga. Ŵanthu ŵakalutilira kuchepa m'paka mu 1885 apo boti laumaliro la ŵazga likafumako ku Benin Republic na kuluta ku Brazil. Msumba ukuru wa Porto-Novo ("New Port" mu Ciphwitikizi) ukaŵa msumba wa malonda gha ŵazga.

Ŵanakazi ŵa ku Dahomey awo ŵakulongozgeka na themba, ŵakuluta ku nkhondo, 1793.

Vinthu vinyake ivyo Ŵapwitikizi ŵakapenjanga ni vinthu vyakuŵaja vya mino gha zovu ivyo ŵanthu ŵa ku Benin ŵakavipanga nga ni viŵiya vyakusungiramo mchere, matambulara, na masengwe.[23]

Chikoloni

Wonaniso: Second Franco-Dahomean War
Chithuzithuzi cha ku France cha umo charu cha Dahomey chikapokelerekera mu 1893

Kuzakafika pakati pa vyaka vya m'ma 1800, caru ca Dahomey "cikamba kulopwa na kutaya mazaza ghake". Mu 1892 Ŵacifurenci ŵakatora malo agha. Mu 1899, ŵa ku France ŵakamba kulamulira chigaŵa cha French Dahomey.

France sought to benefit from Dahomey and the region "appeared to lack the necessary agricultural or mineral resources for large-scale capitalist development". As a result, France treated Dahomey as a sort of preserve in case future discoveries revealed resources worth developing.[24]

Boma la France likakanizga kugura na kuguliska ŵazga. Ŵenecho ŵa ŵazga ŵakakhumbanga kuti ŵambeso kulamulira ŵazga nga umo ŵakachitiranga na malo, ŵekhaŵekha, na ŵanthu ŵa mu mbumba yawo. Ivi vikapangiska kuti ŵanthu ŵa ku Dahomean ŵambeso kulimbana, "kwamba mu 1895 m'paka 1920, kuti ŵamanye umo ŵangapokera malo na ntchito. Ŵanthu ŵa mu mizi iyi ŵakakhumbanga kuti ŵamanye mphaka za malo agho ŵakakhalanga. Masuzgo gha cisopa ghakaŵa nga ni mphindano za caru na malonda. Ŵanthu ŵa mafuko ghakupambanapambana ŵakalimbananga kuti ŵaŵe na mazaza pa mbumba zikuruzikuru".

Mu 1958, France yikapeleka wanangwa ku Republic of Dahomey, na wanangwa wakukwana pa 1 August 1960 uwo ukukondwelereka chaka chilichose nga ni Zuŵa la Wanangwa, holide ya chalo. Pulezidenti uyo wakalongozga caru kuti ciŵe na wanangwa wakaŵa Hubert Maga.[25][26]

Post-colonial

Pamasinda pa 1960, pakaŵa mabutha na kusintha kwa boma, ndipo ŵanthu ŵa Hubert Maga, Sourou Apithy, Justin Ahomadégbé, na Émile Derlin Zinsou ndiwo ŵakalongozganga. Ŵabali ŵatatu aŵa ŵakakolerana kuti ŵapangenge wupu wa pulezidenti pamanyuma pa viwawa ivyo vikacitika pa maungano gha mu 1970.

Pa Meyi 7, 1972, Maga wakapeleka mazaza kwa Ahomadégbé. Pa Okutobala 26, 1972, Lt. Mubali uyu ni Kol. Mathieu Kérékou wakawuskapo boma la ŵanthu ŵatatu, ndipo wakazgoka pulezidenti. Pa Novembala 30, 1974, wakapharazga kuti caru ici nchakuzomerezgeka na Marxist, ndipo cikulongozgeka na Wupu wa Nkhondo wa Revolution (CMR), uwo ukaŵa na nchito ya mafuta na mabanki. Pa Novembala 30, 1975, wakasinthaso zina la charu ichi kuŵa Benin People's Republic. Boma la Benin likasintha mu nyengo iyo likaŵako: nyengo ya kusankhana mitundu (1972-1974); nyengo ya kusankhana mitundu (1974-1982); na nyengo ya kujura ku vyaru vya kumanjiliro gha dazi na kuleka vinthu vinyake (1982-1990).[27][28][29]

Mu 1974, pasi pa mazaza gha ŵawukirano ŵakugaluka - "Ligueurs" - boma likamba ndondomeko ya socialist: kukanizga vyalo vya ndyali, kunozga ndondomeko ya masambiro, kukhazikiska mabungwe gha vyalo na maboma gha vigaŵa, na kampeni yakuwuskamo "magulu gha ŵasilikari" kusazgapo mafuko. Boma likakanizga ŵanthu ŵakususka. Mathieu Kérékou wakasankhika kuŵa pulezidenti na National Revolutionary Assembly mu 1980, ndipo wakasankhikaso mu 1984. Wakamba kukolerana na ŵanthu ŵa ku China, North Korea, na Libya, ndipo "pafupifupi" bizinesi yose na vinthu vinyake ivyo vikuchitika mu charu ichi vikaŵa pasi pa boma. Kérékou wakayezga kunozga masambiro, ndipo wakayowoya mazgu ghakuti "Ukavu ni suzgo yayi". Boma ili likagwiliskiranga nchito ndalama izo likaguliskanga pakugura vyakukanizgika vya nyukiliya kufuma ku Soviet Union na ku France.[30]

Mu vyaka vya m'ma 1980, caru ca Benin cikakura comene pa nkhani ya vyachuma (15.6% mu 1982, 4.6% mu 1983 na 8.2% mu 1984), m'paka apo ŵakajara mphaka ya Nigeria na Benin. Boma likaŵavya nkhongono zakupelekera malipiro ku ŵateŵeti ŵa boma. Mu 1989, pakawuka vivulupi apo boma likaŵavya ndalama zakukwana kuti lilipire ŵasilikari. Mabanki ghakawa. Paumaliro, Kérékou wakaleka chisopa cha Marx, ndipo ungano ukamucicizga kuti wafwature ŵakayidi ŵa ndyali na kunozga vyakusankha. Marxism-Leninism yikalekeka kuŵa boma.

Zina la caru ili likasinthika kuŵa Republic of Benin pa 1 Malichi 1990, pamanyuma pakuti boma liphya lakhalako.[31]

Yayi Boni's 2006 presidential inauguration

Kerékou wakatondeka kupokera mazaza kufuma kwa Nicéphore Soglo mu 1991 ndipo wakaŵa purezidenti wakwamba mu Africa uyo wakataya mazaza ghake. Kerékou wakawelera ku mazaza wakati watonda pa mavoti gha mu 1996. Mu 2001, Kerékou wakathereskeka pa mavoti ghanyake. Mu 1999, Kérékou wakaphepiska pa mulimo ukuru uwo ŵanthu ŵa ku Africa ŵakacita pa malonda gha ŵazga gha ku Atlantic.

Kérékou na pulezidenti wakale Soglo ŵakathemba yayi pa mavoti gha 2006, cifukwa wose ŵaŵiri ŵakakanizgika na malango gha boma pa nkhani ya vilimika na nyengo ya mavoti. Pa 5 March 2006, chisankho chikapangiska kuti Yayi Boni na Adrien Houngbédji ŵasankhane. Chisankho chachiwiri chinachitika pa 19 March ndipo chinapambana ndi Boni, yemwe adagwira ntchito pa 6 April. Boni wakasankhika mu 2011, wakatora mavoti 53.18% mu chigaŵa chakwamba. Wakaŵa pulezidenti wakwamba kuwina pa maungano gha chigaŵa kufuma apo boma likakhazikiskikira mu 1991.

Pa chisankho cha pulezidenti cha March 2016 apo Boni Yayi wakakanika na dango la chalo kuti wazakaŵepo pa nyengo yachitatu, wamalonda Patrice Talon wakathereska chigaŵa chachiŵiri na mavoti 65.37%, wakatonda banki ya ndalama na nduna yikuru yakale Lionel Zinsou. Talon wakalapa pa 6 April 2016. Apo wakayowoyanga pa zuŵa leneilo khoti la malango likakhozgeranga mavoti, Talon wakati "pambere tindayowoyepo, tichitengepo kanthu pa kusintha malango gha boma". Wakayowoya kuti wakukhumba kuchepeska ŵa mu boma kufuma pa 28 kufika pa 16. Mu Epulero 2021, Pulezidenti Patrice Talon wakasankhikaso, na mavoti ghakujumpha 86.3%, mu mavoti gha pulezidenti wa Benin. Ŵalondezgi ŵa Pulezidenti Talon ndiwo ŵakamba kulamulira nyumba ya malango.

Mu Febuluwale 2022, boma la Benin likaŵa na vivulupi vikuru comene kuluska vyose.[32]

Kweniso mu 2022, ŵakawezgera ku Benin vyakuvwara 26 vyakuzunulika kufuma ku France, vyaka 129 pamanyuma pakuti vyatoleka na ŵasilikari.[33]

Boma la Benin lili na vigaŵa vinandi. Mu charu ichi, pulezidenti wakuŵa mutu wa boma kweniso wa boma. Boma ndilo likuŵa na mazaza pa boma. Boma na wupu wakulongozga ndiwo ŵali na mazaza gha kupanga malango. Ŵeruzgi ŵakujiyimira ŵekha, kweni Talon ndiyo wakuŵalongozga. Ndondomeko ya ndyali yili kufuma ku Dango la 1990 la Benin na kusintha kwa demokilase mu 1991.

Pa vyaru 52 vya mu Africa, charu ichi chili pa nambara 18 ndipo chili na masambiro ghapachanya pa nkhani ya chivikiliro na malango kweniso vya wanangwa wa ŵanthu. Pa lipoti la wupu wa Reporters Without Borders lakuyowoya za wanangwa wa ŵanthu pa charu chose mu 2007, charu cha Benin chili pa nambara 53 pa vyaru 169.

Ndondomeko yake ya demokilase "yasezgeka" kufuma apo Pulezidenti Talon wakamba kuwusa. Mu 2018, boma lake likapeleka malango ghaphya ghakwendeskera mavoti na kukwezga mtengo wa kulembeska. Wupu wa vyakusankha, uwo ukazura na ŵanthu awo ŵakakolerana na Talon, ukazomerezga yayi kuti magulu ghose ghakwimikana na boma ghaŵepo pa maungano ghaparamende mu 2019, ndipo ichi chikapangiska kuti ŵanthu wose awo ŵakakolerana na Talon ndiwo ŵalutilire kuŵa mu Nyumba ya Malamulo. Paumaliro, nyumba ya malango iyi yikasintha malango gha vyakusankha mwakuti munthu uyo wakukhumba kuŵa pulezidenti wakwenera kuzomerezgeka na ŵimiliri 10 pa 100 ŵa boma la Benin.

Charu cha Benin chili pa malo gha 128 pa Global Innovation Index mu 2021, kufuma pa 123 mu 2019.[61][62][63][64]

Ndondomeko iyi yikwamba kusintha kufuma mu 2006 apo ndondomeko ya sayansi yikanozgeka. Buku ili lasinthika na kusazgikirapo na mabuku ghaphya ghakukhwaskana na sayansi na vyakupanga vinthu vinyake (chaka icho likapelekekera ni pakati pa mabokosi):[46]

  • a manual for monitoring and evaluating research structures and organizations (2013);

  • a draft act for funding scientific research and innovation and a draft code of ethics for scientific research and innovation were both submitted to the Supreme Court in 2014;
  • a strategic plan for scientific research and innovation (under development in 2015).

Equally important are Benin's efforts to integrate science into existing policy documents:

  • Benin Development Strategies 2025: Benin 2025 Alafia (2000);
  • Growth Strategy for Poverty Reduction 2011–2016 (2011);
  • Phase 3 of the Ten-year Development Plan for the Education Sector, covering 2013–2015;

Vinthu vinyake ivyo vikupangiska kuti ŵanthu ŵaleke kuchita makora kafukufuku mu Benin ni ivi:[46]

  • the unfavorable organizational framework for research: weak governance, a lack of co-operation between research structures and the absence of an official document on the status of researchers;
  • the inadequate use of human resources and the lack of any motivational policy for researchers; and
  • the mismatch between research and development needs.
