Togo’s President Should Resign Immediately – Foreign Minister
president must resign immediately – Gambian Foreign Minister
On the 23 October 2017; Togo’s President Faure Gnassingbe should resign immediately and the African Union and West African regional bloc ECOWAS should persuade him to step down, Gambia’s Foreign Minister Ousainou Darboe told Reuters.
The West African country faces a political crisis in which at least ten have died since August. The opposition are demanding the immediate resignation of the president in a bid to end what they term the Gnassingbe dynasty.
Darboe’s comments are an early sign that opinion is shifting against Gnassingbe who took power in 2005 on the death of his father who ruled from 1967. Togo faces a political crisis in which at least ten have died since August.
