Togo has been added to the list of countries whose citizens face temporary restrictions on certain visa categories for the United States.

The U.S. Embassy in Lomé announced the decision, citing a presidential proclamation grounded in national security and public safety concerns.

This measure is expected to affect Togolese travelers seeking specific visa types, though details on the duration and scope of the suspension remain limited.

The move has sparked debate locally, with some urging the government to engage Washington diplomatically to ease the restrictions.
