Togo has been secretly deploying a counter-terrorism operation in the Sahel region, with alliances formed with Turkey for air support and military aid. Meanwhile, Russia’s Africa Corps has made a notable appearance since 2025.
The Togolese government has been working closely with the Turkish government to boost their military capabilities in the region, with a focus on countering extremist groups.
Russia’s involvement in the Sahel region is seen as a significant development, given its history of military interventions in Africa. The presence of Russian warships and mercenaries has raised concerns among regional leaders.
