On May 7, 2026, Faure Gnassingbé, acting as President of the Council and Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, undertook a crucial visit to the Operation Koundjoaré zone in northern Togo. This significant tour was designed to assess the prevailing security landscape and to bolster the morale of troops actively engaged in combating persistent terrorist threats.
During his mission, the Supreme Commander received an in-depth operational briefing at the Command Post. Following this, he proceeded to the forward operating base in Tchamonga, a pivotal location within the comprehensive security framework.
Addressing the troops deployed on the ground, President Gnassingbé commended their unwavering commitment and resolve in safeguarding the nation’s sovereignty. He further issued updated directives aimed at enhancing the operational effectiveness of the units stationed in the area.
This particular visit underscores the Togolese authorities’ dedication to maintaining a consistent presence alongside the Forces of Defense and Security (FDS). It also aligns seamlessly with the government’s holistic strategy, which integrates military operations, community resilience building, and diplomatic cooperation to ensure enduring stability across the Savanes region.
