Faure Gnassingbé
In the April 2015 presidential election, Gnassingbé won a third term, defeating his main challenger, Jean-Pierre Fabre, by a margin of about 59% to 35%, according to official results. Many Togolese are tired of the Gnassingbés ruling Togo and have been protesting against his government. They say that France, which used to run Togo as part of its empire, put the family in power.
