[Resist!ca]

"[T]he opposition are reporting that groups of armed men raided polling stations in areas where their support is traditionally strong and destroyed or took away the ballot boxes." "The stuffing of ballot boxes is occurring on a large scale and we haven't heard of a single polling station where everything is going well," Mr Akitani said. [from another story:] "Protesters threw up flaming barricades across Togo's capital and a furious opposition urged people to resist after Faure Gnassingbe, son of the late long-ruling president, was declared winner of a presidential poll marred by violence and fraud allegations."
