Togo Democracy Under Query: In Continual Struggle (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781715359225)

Togo Democracy Under Query. In Continual Struggle.

The government is dominated by Gnassingbé's Kabyé ethnic group, who also make up the vast majority of the security services. The Éwé, Togo's largest ethnic group, are persistently excluded from positions of influence; they are prominent within the opposition
