💨 Abstract

Togo's President Faure Gnassingbe has been appointed as head of a powerful new executive body, a move denounced by opposition parties as a "constitutional coup." Critics say the move signals further democratic backsliding in the West African nation, which has been under the same family's rule for 57 years. The opposition organized a rally, but turnout was modest.
