In the 2022 report of the global terrorism index published by the Institute of Economy and Peace, we note that Benin occupies the 53rd place in the world. The country finds itself in the Top 5 of Uemoa.

The 20th ^African country, the most affected by terrorism, Benin ranks 5th in the West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA) with a score of 3,164. Its terrorism index is therefore low compared to Burkina Faso. Indeed, the country of honest men occupies the head of this classification in the Uemoa zone with a score of 8270 . It therefore has a very high terrorism index. Burkina Faso is also the African country most affected by this phenomenon. It is followed by Nigeria, Mali, Niger, Cameroon, Mozambique and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
