notes: On 10 September 2018, a number of residents gathered in front of the town hall in Toucountouna (Toucountouna, Atacora), to demand the resignation of the mayor, accusing him of absenteeism since a majority of councillors voted to initiate impeachment proceedings against the mayor in August. The demonstrators reportedly fought with the town hall security guards before police intervened to prevent the demonstrators from entering the town hall. The mayor refused to step down.
