Togo: Death of President Eyadema

U.S. Department of State PRESS RELEASE February 7, 2005

The United States of America wishes to extend the condolences of the people of the United States to the people of Togo and to the family of President Eyadema during this time of national mourning.

The United States has long encouraged Togo to move towards a full participatory democracy and continues to believe that this must be the goal for the Togolese Government, the opposition parties and the people of Togo.

The United States urges all Togolese to respect strictly the constitutional process of Togo, which will lead to elections for a new President.
