Followers Pray, Sacrifice for Peace on Benin’s Voodoo Holiday reuters COTOnOU, Benin - The national voodoo holiday in the West african country of Benin had a distinctively political accent this year as practi- tioners from africa and the amer - icas gathered on Sunday to offer prayers and sacrifices for peace. Hundreds of followers of the tra- ditional religion gathered in the atlantic coast town of Ouidah, once an important port in the slave trade, to pray for calm during the tiny country’s presidential election scheduled for February. Benin has no history of signifi- cant electoral violence. But david Kofi aza, a well-known priest, said last month that an oracle named Fa had predicted dozens of deaths in post-electoral violence because the loser would refuse to cede to the winner.
