"The legislative [coup] in #Togo follows a pattern of 15 African heads of state evading term limits since 2015. It also takes place within a backdrop of democratic backsliding in West Africa where 4 countries have experienced military coups since 2020."

Welcome to elections @FEGnassingbe style. It is more of a selection than an election. This is why the Catholic Church isn’t allowed to monitor. Official reason “they didn’t prove their source of funding”. #FaureMustGo
We the people of Togo refuse to be silenced and bullied. We will rally and organize and will not rest until we bring down the illegal and illegitimate regions of Faure Gnassingbe. #fauremustgo
La jeunesse togolaise refuse d’être réduite au silence. Nous sommes la voix du changement et nous continuerons à nous battre pour notre avenir. #FreeTogo#Migbe” @Fauremustgo
