Protests erupt in Togo's capital Lomé as President Faure Gnassingbé faces criticism over constitutional changes that could extend his rule indefinitely.

A government agency in Togo says the West African country has suspended French state-owned broadcasters RFI and France 24 over alleged biased reporting.

People in Togo have voted in parliamentary elections that tested support for a proposed new constitution that would scrap presidential elections and give lawmakers the power to choose the president.
