Togo: President Gnassingbé vows to better protect northern populations against terrorists

(Togo First) - President Faure Gnassingbé was in Cinkassé, in the Savanes region, last Sunday, January 21. In a speech to the region’s soldiers, the Togolese leader promised to do everything to protect the people of the northern region against the rising terrorist threat. 

 "If Mandouri is not at peace, Togo is not at peace. If Cinkassé is not at peace, Togo is not at peace. We will do everything to protect you", Faure Gnassingbé promised, informing of the intensification of actions particularly in the prefectures of Cinkassé, Kpendjal, and Kpendjal-ouest.

Gnassingbé then urged the people of the region to support the government in its effort to fight back terrorists. "Don't sleep on your laurels. Remain alert, keep helping the Defense and Security Forces (FDS) and the administrative and political authorities, for it is together that we will preserve peace and security in the Savanes," he declared.

The Head of State also promised stronger actions to make concerned populations more resilient. 

"Whether in the areas of rural tracks, health, education, agriculture, infrastructure, and many others, we will keep making efforts to accelerate the implementation of socio-economic projects and programs. These mechanisms will help preserve security and combat terrorism," President Gnassingbé noted.
