The President, Muhammadu
Buhari and five other concerned West African leaders have called for an
immediate roadmap to pave the way for negotiations between the Togolese
government led by President Faure Gnassingbe Eyadema and the opposition
movement, reports ITRealms.
The urgent demand by the leaders came at a meeting to discuss
the situation in Togo, which ended early on Thursday in Abidjan, on the
sidelines of the African Union-European Union Summit.
The Presidents of Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Benin
Republic and Guinea Conakry, attended the meeting with President Eyadema.
Also, the West African leaders asked the parties in Togo to
urgently negotiate, without ‘‘any preconditions’’, and resolve the impasse in
the interest of the well-being of the country and the region at large.
ITRealms recalled that
President Eyadema had given himself a deadline of Friday to provide the basis
and framework for negotiations in response to the increasing list of demands
put together by the opposition movement seeking to oust him from power after 12
years as President.
His late predecessor and father, Gnassingbé Eyadéma, was the
President of Togo from 1967 until his death in 2005.
