Security Forces Tear Gas Fired At Togo Protesters



Security Forces Tear Gas Fired At Togo Protesters.


The security forces in Togo fired tear gas in the early hours of this morning to disperse hundreds of anti-government protesters taking part in a late-night sit in in the capital, Lomé.
Police moved in following 48-hours of mass country-wide demonstrations demanding an end to 50 years in power of the Gnassingbe family.
The protests went ahead despite a pledge by President Faure Gnassingbe to reintroduce a two-term limit for Togo’s heads of state.
