A coalition of forty-three African organizations has formally lodged a complaint with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the African Union (AU) concerning recent constitutional amendments in Togo. Their appeal specifically targets actions taken by President Faure Gnassingbé regarding the nation’s fundamental law. This significant move underscores growing regional scrutiny of the Togolese constitutional reform process and its implications for governance and democracy in the West African state.
