Benin. Voodoo.

Benin is an exemplary democracy. Africa’s great success. It is a republic combining a few kingdoms, whose monarchs act as governors. Benin history is very dark, for it is a land of the Kingdom of Dahomey, a name which people were afraid even to whisper. Human sacrifices, lucrative and merciless slave trade with the Portuguese and the French. Also a home of voodoo, world’s least understood religion.
