Togo: Protest in Vogan on Sept. 15
Civil society groups call for protest to denouce new constitution in Vogan, Togo, from 14:00 Sept. 15. Increased security likely.
Several civil society groups have called for a protest in Vogan on Sept. 15 to denounce the recent adoption of a new constitution. Participants will gather at an unspecified fuel station from 14:00. It is unclear how many people will attend. Previous demonstrations over the constitutional amendments have been either banned by authorities or have seen little participation.
Increased security and localized traffic disruptions are likely at the protest site, especially if demonstrators block roadways. Given the anti-government nature of the action, clashes with security forces are possible.
Avoid the protest to minimize travel delays. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
