The Togolese government is reported to have apologized to the citizenry over clashes between civilians and security forces which led to some loss of lives.
The apology was reportedly carried by the country’s state media with an appeal to the opposition to calm tensions down in the West African state.
Meanwhile, reports indicate that the opposition is planning a massive demonstration in the national capital-Lome, on Friday August 25 to herald the burial of victims of Saturday’s clashes with security forces.
Last weekend, Togolese across the world went on street protests demanding term limits for their presidents.
At Atakpame-Sokode, some kilometres away from the capital, two civilians and seven security persons were reportedly killed.

@violence; Even America considered by u to be more civilized, demonstrated after a free and fair elections. Dont bring urself Mr gay advocate.
Well! Congratulations! Your DemonCratic credentials are improving. Violence, Killings, Fighting, "The Battle is the Lords'", insults, disrespect, bullying, dishonesty, deception, rancor, hatred, enemies, enemies, and lies. The Hallmarks of DemonCracy. The Colonialists will be watching and saying to themselves: "See, we have been able to confuse them. They are now fighting each other instead of us". Self-government with foreign doctrines. Hmmmmmm!
Even incompetent President Mahama was the same removed through the same box. Not violence.
The opposition should engage this guy in a civilized manner and stop the needless loss of lives. What at all can they do differently to merit the needless loss of live in the country. Even Yahya Jammeh was removed via the ballot box. A lazy opposition is the one that will resort to violence.
