Having read the official State Department write-up on Benin,
(http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1066.html), I would
suggest that an M2 Bradley AFV (http://encycl.opentopia.com/term/M2_Bradley)
might be the vehicle of choice. It can handle the poorly maintained roads,
would be relatively impervious to collisions at night, and the 25mm chain
gun and TOW anti-tank missiles would be more than a match for a
car-jacker...
As the old rhyme goes:
"Beware, beware the Bight of Benin, for few come out though many go in."
