Togo: political tension rises after the adoption of the new Constitution. A press conference organized by opposition parties and civil society groups was interrupted by the gendarmes on Wednesday morning.
The text voted on in the Assembly is still not available, many speculations revolve around this constitution. The Togolese opposition sees this as a subterfuge for Faure Gnassingbé who could occupy power indefinitely. For the record, this reform, the date of entry into force of which we do not yet know, would see the next Togoese head of state be elected by Parliament.
