In Togo, the "Hands Off My Constitution" coalition is organizing protests against what they term a "constitutional coup" following a new political structure allowing President Faure Gnassingbe to remain in power indefinitely. Concerns about surging costs, particularly a hike in electricity prices, have fueled public unrest, targeting the ruling family's six-decade rule. A heavy police crackdown has led to over 80 arrests, raising fears about the suppression of dissent and press freedom, exemplified by the suspension of several international news outlets.
The recent protests in Togo, labeled a "constitutional coup," have sparked unrest with calls for action against President Gnassingbe's extended rule and rising prices.
Amidst concerns over rising electricity prices, citizens are increasingly frustrated with the long-standing Gnassingbe family rule, as evidenced by recent larger protests.
