Read it:
Togo, 1963 to 2026: a deep-water port that serves half the Sahel, and one family in power since 1967. A Dubai businessman says he paid 48 million dollars for a dead general's fortune held in a central bank Lomé does not have; the three men charged were never tried. French judges say a French group's agency ran the president's 2010 campaign at a discount while its Lomé concessions were extended; its chairman faces trial in Paris. Gold that Togo does not mine leaves from a tire dealer's building for Switzerland. And the people jailed were journalists. Covers Faure Gnassingbé and the Port autonome de Lomé, Vincent Bolloré and the Bolloré group, Bertin Sow Agba and Pascal Bodjona, the Ammar Group and Wafex, and Ferdinand Ayité and L'Alternative.
