In Togo, civil society organizations and political parties have launched four days of national mourning to honor those who died during the June protests. The bodies of several victims were recently found in the Bè and 4ème lac lagoons.

On Friday, groups gathered to pay tribute to the fallen protesters, describing them as heroes in the struggle for a more just and democratic Togo.

The memorial events have also reignited calls for the resignation of Faure Gnassingbé, President of the Council of Ministers.

As emotions run high, the mourning period serves as both a moment of reflection and renewed resistance.
