The people of Togo are demanding that Faure Gnassingbé leave and as an African from the diaspora I support their demands. I wasn’t born in Togo, but that is only because my ancestors were stolen from their homelands by force. In fact, so many Africans were stolen from Togo that Togo was once referred to as the “Slave Coast” by the Europeans. I am an African not because I was born in any particular African country. So to the people of Togo I wish to let you know that I stand with your struggle.
