African organizations challenge Togolese constitutional changes before ECOWAS and au

A coalition of forty-three African organizations has officially submitted a formal appeal to both the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the African Union (AU). Their collective action targets recent constitutional amendments in Togo, specifically raising concerns about the impact of these changes under the leadership of President Faure Gnassingbé. This significant diplomatic move underscores widespread apprehension among regional civil society groups regarding governance and constitutional adherence within the West African nation.
