Angry crowds are demostrating in the capital of Togo in a third day of protests against electoral reforms they say favour the ruling party. Two previous days of unrest in Lome saw violent clashes between security forces and thousands of demonstrators during which stones were thrown, tear gas was fired and about 30 people were injured. It follows recent electoral reforms ahead of a poll this year. Protesters want an end to the system allowing unlimited presidential terms. Togo has been run by the same family for more than four decades.
