Togo’s Catholic bishops have renewed calls for national dialogue amid growing unrest in the country. Following their recent ordinary session in Lomé, the bishops issued a strong statement condemning violence, disinformation, and repeated violations of fundamental rights.
Their message comes in the aftermath of the June 6 protests, which saw widespread demonstrations and a heavy-handed government response. The clergy urged political leaders to prioritize the nation’s peace and stability through sincere engagement with citizens and stakeholders.
As tensions persist, the bishops’ moral stance adds weight to mounting demands for transparency, accountability, and democratic reforms in Togo.
