Togo Army Repels New Attack in Far North: OfficialTogo’s army has repelled another attack in the northwest near the border with Burkina Faso, a military official said on Thursday, a month after eight troops were killed in the region. Gunmen clashed with Togo troops outside a military post in Goulingoushi area in Togo’s far northwest between Wednesday and Thursday, before they were forced across the border, the military official said. “It was one of our ambushes that surprised them outside the Goulingoushi post, in the far northwest,” he said. There were no deaths or wounded on the “Togo side,” the official said. In early May, eight Togolese soldiers were killed and 13 others injured in the first official deadly terrorist attack in Togo.
