Twitter Responds: Anti-government protests in Togo.

Thousands took to the streets of Togo's capital this week in anti-government protests organised by Togolese opposition parties.

Wednesday's march was the first of three planned for this week to put pressure on Togo's President Faure Gnassingbe to resign.

The government announced on Friday that it is ready for dialogue with Togolese opposition.

Today authorities in Togo released two religious leaders detained for their critical views on the regime of President Faure Gnassingbe.
