In Togo, pressure is mounting on President Faure Gnassingbé as protests erupt over recent constitutional reforms that could extend his grip on power indefinitely.

Activists condemned what they describe as a harsh government crackdown, including arrests and alleged abuse of demonstrators in Lomé and online.

The new reforms have sparked widespread criticism, with opposition groups calling for the president’s immediate resignation.

Tensions remain high as civic groups vow to continue mobilizing despite threats and repression.
