Around Africa: Togo Stick

Given the lack of coverage and the hiding of the brief one can only conclude that the election-stealing son of a dictator is our man, America.

"Opposition decries presidential results

LOME — More than 7,000 opposition demonstrators took to the streets in the capital of this West African nation yesterday to protest presidential election results.

Yeah, but 50 or 100 protesters get coverage when its advancing the agenda.

Togo’s constitutional court has declared victory for the son of the country’s former dictator and dismissed fraud complaints in the disputed election held this month. Opposition candidate Jean-Pierre Fabre said the protesters are determined to continue their fight (AP)."

And that is the last word I heard from the Glob.
