Trouble In Togo

Regulars will remember we welcomed the country of Togo here at Amy's Fan Club after receiving an online visit from a resident, but what we didn't know was that a controversial power struggle was about to ensue. Apparently the death on Saturday of Gnassingbe Eyadema, their leader of 38 years resulted in his son being sworn in for the reminder of the term of office. This brought world-wide condemnation as it was the parliament's speaker, who under the constitution, should have assumed power after the President's death. Don't ask me why I care, I just think it's a bit of gossip but 'read all about it' here.
