Togo: Washington asks for the resignation of Faure Gnassingbé
WASHINGTON - the United States does not recognize the legitimacy of the invested president of Togo, Faure Gnassingbé, and claims its immediate resignation, declared Saturday the State Department.
"the United States does not regard as legitimate the designation of Mr. Gnassingbé like chair invested and invites it to resign immediately", said the spokesman of the State Department Richard Boucher in an official statement.
It added that Washington supported the economic Community of the States of West Africa (CEDEAO, 15 country) which suspended Togo of the regional group.
Togo? Togo?
Don't we have more to concern ourselves with than Togo?
What exactly is the down side, to allowing the entire Turd World "nations" in darkest Africa to follow their self-rule flush down the toilet?
Any of them???
Dang, they just went and got themselves a New Dictator, and now they have to start all over again.
Good Dictators are hard to find.
As Togo goes, so goes gogo.
And what has it got in its pocketses, inquiring minds want to know.
"...and your little dog, too."
Whoops, Togo...Heh, Heh, never mind.
You bethca!
Oops! You betcha!
No blood for...err...ummm...whatever they have in Togo!
Sort of like letting the Taliban rule Afghanistan?
US SUSPENDS ASSISTANCE TO TOGO
20.2.2005. 10:40:48
The United States has refused to recognise the legitimacy of Togo's military-installed interim president, Faure Gnassingbe, and called on him to step down immediately.
Washington is supporting the decision of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to suspended Togo from the organisation.
Announcing that all military assistance to Togo had been suspended, a US State Department spokesman said it was "reviewing all aspects of our relations with Togo in order to identify further means of supporting the actions of ECOWAS".
The military installed Gnassingbe as interim successor to his father, Gnassingbe Eyadema, who died on February 5 after 38 years of iron-fisted rule over the tiny and impoverished nation.
