Konstitutioneller Staatsstreich in Togo: Wie die älteste Dynastie Afrikas ihre Macht zementiert
摘要
In May 2025, Jean-Lucien Savi de Tové was sworn in as the new president of Togo. His predecessor, Faure Gnassingbé, was sworn in as president of the Council of Ministers, retaining his former powers and no longer subject to term limits. The move, described by the opposition as a ‘constitutional coup’, allows the dynasty that has ruled since 1967 to continue its rule. However, the legitimacy of the autocracy is crumbling due to changes in economic and security factors.
