Togo elections

The people of Togo go to the voting booths this week for the country's Presidential elections. The eight presidential candidates are all working hard to increase their profile - which includes plastering every wall in the city with multiple posters, and driving the streets of Lomé blasting loud music out of vans:

This afternoon we got caught up in two massive rallies; firstly the yellow-shirted opposition party, and only a few minutes later the white-shirted Presidential party, where the President himself was making an appearance and every road in the area was shut by soldiers and police. The elections are on Thursday - please pray for a peaceful election day, and an outcome that will bring continued peace to the people of Togo. Olly
