Hundreds of Togolese opposition members turned up for the new round of anti-government protests in the capital Lome on Monday. Wednesday’s march was largely peaceful according to reports from local media.

The protest was expected to continue yesterday (November 30) with the last in the series, planned for Saturday December 2 according to an itinerary published by the opposition coalition.

The coalition is going ahead with the planned protests despite embattled President Faure Gnassingbe promising to hold dialogue with them last week.
