Togo president in power-sharing talks

Togo’s new President Faure Gnassingbe and his chief opponent were in the Nigerian capital Abuja today to discuss power-sharing in his tiny West African nation, still tense after last month’s presidential ballot.

Regional heads of state including Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo were participating in and hosting the talks, continuing their efforts to bring calm to Togo and ensure it does not become a source of more instability for West Africa.
