President Gnassingbé reassures the people of the Savanes region regarding the terrorism menace

(Togo First) - The President of Togo, Faure Essozimna Gnassingbé, his Prime Minister, Victoire Tomégah-Dogbé, and several ministers, were in Dapaong on July 20, 2022, to meet with the people of the Savanes region. The visit comes shortly after terrorists killed many in that part of the country. 

The President reiterated his commitment, through the defense and security forces (DFS), to deal with the issue. 

He also said that the government will boost efforts to counter and eradicate terrorism in the country, before urging the people to be more cautious and cooperate with the DFS. 

At the meeting, the region’s active forces (elected officials, traditional leaders, religious communities, youth, women ...) suggested some ways to curb the attacks. Their suggestions will “contribute to and enrich decisions and measures taken by the country’s authorities to protect human lives and bolster security, and protect both the people and the national territory.” 

The Savanes region, it should be recalled, has recorded three deadly attacks in which many died and others were injured.
