Togo’s Foreign Minister Denies Russian Mercenaries
Togolese Foreign Minister Robert Dossou denied the presence of "Russian mercenaries" on the country's territory, confirming that the state does not host foreign fighters but rather military trainers involved in military cooperation with countries such as France, the United States, China, and Russia. This comes despite concerns from opposition members and former officials about the presence of foreign forces, especially elements of the Russian "Africa Corps," in northern Togo. These fears have grown amidst escalating security threats from groups linked to Al-Qaeda and "ISIS" since late 2021, which are expanding toward the coastal regions of West Africa. Togo has sought to strengthen its military relations with Turkey and Russia to support its forces against these threats, receiving Russian backing through "Africa Corps." Meanwhile, Togo aims to play a mediating role between the Sahel countries and the international community in the fight against terrorism.
