Opposition march in Togo over political reform

Footage has emerged of a protest calling for the long-standing President Faure Gnassingbe to step down in Togo's capital, Lome.

The demonstration that took place on Tuesday (October 7) is the first of three planned marches this week and comes after more than two months of nearly weekly opposition action against half a century of rule by the Gnassingbe family.

Togo's opposition wants a two-term limit on the presidential mandate and the introduction of two-round voting.

A referendum is expected to take place in the coming months on the issue, with the opposition calling for the two-term limit to be retroactive, to prevent the president from standing again in 2020 and 2025 according to agencies.
