Human rights groups are discussing the politics of Togo


Human rights groups in Togo have warned about the launch of campaigns to harass activists in the country with their efforts to encourage citizens to join several months of protest against the president facing the political armchair Faure Gnassingbe.

A joint statement released by Amnesty International, Front Line Defenders and Africa Rising explains that Togo security officials should stop condemning activists who defend democracy and protect human rights in relation to protests and complaints around the country.

The statement explains that the state of human rights has grown in the country since the outbreak of democracy protests in August 2017. The opposition in Togo requires only two months of presidential governance and the second round of presidential election when it comes to no one finds 51 percent. This step is in contravention of government plans to make constitutional changes to President Gnassingbe's renewal of the president's seat again.

Citizens and activists want the leader to resign power because they are tired of seeing one family continue to dominate the West African nation since its independence over 50 years ago.
