Togo: the president returns the new Constitution to the National Assembly. Under the terms of the new text, power will reside in the hands of a “president of the council of ministers” The opposition has been up in arms against the regime, fearing that this change will leave the way clear for President Faure Gnassingbé to remain at the head of the country.

The current situation must be resolved “peacefully and democratically” The Conference of Bishops of Togo questioned, without a press release, the “opportunity or not” of carrying out this reform.
