		In terms of Togo's constitution, the speaker of the national assembly, Fambare Natchaba, should have become head of state on Saturday, to govern the country for two months while a presidential election was organised.
		A further change to the constitution allows the younger Eyadema to govern Togo until 2008, when his father's term in office would have ended rather than for an interim period of two months.
		A proposal was apparently put forward at this meeting by Benin and Ghana to allow Togo a two- to six-month transition period for return to constitutional rule this on the grounds that pressure from the international community might harden the attitude of authorities in Togo, and lead to widespread violence.

	Faure Gnassingbe's Dictatorial Odyssey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		It definitely is a tough fight for Faure, in terms of convincing the people of Togo that he will be a different and progressive leader than his dictatorial dad, a terrible man who suppressed his people for years until he took his last breath.
		It is scary when a parliament bastardizes a nation’s Constitution to satisfy a president or his would-be successor’s selfish aims, because a Constitution, as sacred as it supposed to be cannot be used for that purpose, other than what it is intended for: to protect and defend a country and its people from tyranny.
		For good reasons, the people of Togo are unwilling to even entertain the idea of a son taking over from a deceased father who enslaved them for over three decades to become one of the longest-serving dictators on the continent.
