Togo leader's sister-in-law arrested after calling for end to family rule
Marguerite Gnakadé, the sister-in-law of Togo's President Faure Gnassingbé, has been arrested after calling for an end to the Gnassingbé family's decades-long rule in the country. Gnakadé, a prominent activist, has been a vocal critic of the Gnassingbé regime, which has been in power since 1967. The arrest comes amid growing calls for political reforms and an end to the Gnassingbé dynasty's grip on power. Togo has been ruled by the same family for over 50 years, and the country has faced widespread criticism over its human rights record and lack of democratic freedoms. The news of Gnakadé's arrest has sparked international condemnation, with human rights groups and opposition leaders condemning the government's crackdown on dissent. The incident highlights the ongoing challenges facing Togo as it grapples with demands for political change and greater accountability from its leadership.
