Suspend protests, continue dialogue – Nana Addo to Togo opposition

President Nana Akufo-Addo, who has been one of the mediators in Togo’s political crisis, recently urged Togo’s political actors to continue working towards a resolution in the impasse.

In the plea made alongside Guinea’s President, Alpha Conde, dialogue and consultation was noted as the way forward in the political tensions.
