Togo (i/ˈtoʊɡoʊ/), officially the Togolese Republic (French: République Togolaise), is a country in West Africa bordered by Ghana to the west, Benin to the east and Burkina Faso to the north. It extends south to the Gulf of Guinea, where its capital Lomé is located. Togo covers 57,000 square kilometres (22,000 sq mi), making it one of the smallest countries in Africa, with a population of approximately 7.5 million.
Togo is a tropical, sub-Saharan nation, highly dependent on agriculture, with a climate that provides good growing seasons. The official language is French, with many other languages spoken in Togo, particularly those of the Gbe family. The largest religious group in Togo consists of those with indigenous beliefs, and there are significant Christian and Muslim minorities. Togo is a member of the United Nations, African Union, Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, South Atlantic Peace and Cooperation Zone, La Francophonie and Economic Community of West African States.
From the 11th to the 16th century, various tribes entered the region from all directions. From the 16th century to the 18th century, the coastal region was a major trading center for Europeans in search of slaves, earning Togo and the surrounding region the name "The Slave Coast". In 1884, Germany declared Togoland a protectorate. After World War I, rule over Togo was transferred to France. Togo gained its independence from France in 1960.
The German Shepherd (German: Deutscher Schäferhund, German pronunciation: [ˈʃɛːfɐˌhʊnt]) is a breed of medium to large-sized working dog that originated in Germany. The breed's officially recognized name is German Shepherd Dog in the English language, sometimes abbreviated as GSD and was also formerly known as the Alsatian in Britain. The German Shepherd is a relatively new breed of dog, with their origin dating to 1899. As part of the Herding Group, German Shepherds are working dogs developed originally for herding sheep. Since that time, however, because of their strength, intelligence, trainability and obedience, German Shepherds around the world are often the preferred breed for many types of work, including disability assistance, search-and-rescue, police and military roles, and even acting. The German Shepherd is the second-most popular breed of dog in the United States and fourth-most popular in the United Kingdom.
German Shepherds are medium to large-sized dogs. The breed standard height at the withers is 60–65 cm (24–26 in) for males and 55–60 cm (22–24 in) for females. The weight standard is 30–40 kilograms (66–88 lb) for males and 22–32 kilograms (49–71 lb) for females. They have a domed forehead, a long square-cut muzzle and a black nose. The jaws are strong, with a scissor-like bite. The eyes are medium-sized and brown with a lively, intelligent and self-assured look. The ears are large and stand erect, open at the front and parallel, but they often are pulled back during movement. They have a long neck, which is raised when excited and lowered when moving at a fast pace. The tail is bushy and reaches to the hock.
Faure Essozimna Gnassingbé (French pronunciation: [foʁ ɡnasiŋɡbe]; born 6 June 1966) is a Togolese politician who has been the President of Togo since 2005. Prior to his election, he was appointed by his father, President Gnassingbé Eyadéma, as Minister of Equipment, Mines, Posts, and Telecommunications, serving from 2003 to 2005.
Following President Eyadéma's death in 2005, Gnassingbé was immediately installed as President with support from the army. Doubts regarding the constitutional legitimacy of the succession led to heavy regional pressure being placed on Gnassingbé, and he subsequently resigned on 25 February. He then won a controversial presidential election on 24 April 2005, and was sworn in as President. Gnassingbé was re-elected for a second term in 2010.
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.
Born in Afagnan in Lacs Prefecture, Faure Essozimna Gnassingbé was one of Gnassingbé Eyadéma's many children; his mother was Séna Sabine Mensah. Gnassingbé received his secondary education in Lomé before studying in Paris at the Sorbonne, where he received a degree in financial business management; he subsequently obtained a Master of Business Administration degree from The George Washington University in the United States. He was elected to the National Assembly of Togo in the October 2002 parliamentary election as a Deputy for Blitta, and in the National Assembly he was coordinator of the commission in charge of privatization. On July 29, 2003 he was appointed as Minister of Equipment, Mines, Posts, and Telecommunications, serving in that position until becoming President in February 2005.

short clip resuming a week spent in Togo, in the Haho region, about 100 km north of Lomé. This film was made for the charity organisation Actions Alsace Togo based in Alsace, France, to show donators where their money is going (ie: the construction of a pediatric center inaugurated that week), how the existing projects are run, and a more general view on life in this part of the world. A big thank you to Zack Hemsey for the music.
Join us as we showcase a dog's life from the point of view of Togo the 8 month old German Shepherd. Although we don't normally make dog videos we decided to take a break from our regular travel and food videos to highlight the latest addition to the Bergner family household. Having just met Togo only a few weeks ago it is hard to believe he's only been a part of the family for a few months now. Already he's a massive German Shepherd puppy and whenever we inform a stranger about his age they are shocked to find out he's as young as he is. In terms of personality Togo the German Shepherd lives to play. Whenever one of us goes out into the backyard he can hardly contain his excitement as we're trying our best to put on our shoes and coats. Throwing a squeeze ball, tag, fetch and tug-of-war ...

Tomorrow's taking me away from you
Like a jealous lover
Kiss me one last time
Before I go down this broken road I follow
You will leave me torn and sting me like
A thorn from a dying rose
The saddest scent of you will cling to me
I know
I will run to you
When my journey is over
Wait for me
Keep our love alive
I will dream of you
'till I reach the sun
Then I'll turn around and run to you
If I stay with you and linger here
Another moment
I will fade into the scenery
You wouldn't even see me
I've got nothing left to offer you
It's not that I don't care
All I ask is that you think of me
I swear
I will run to you
When my journey is over
Wait for me
Keep our love alive
I will dream of you
'till I reach the sun
Then I'll turn around and run to you
I hate to see you cry
The way you look away
Makes me wanna die
Run to you
Wait for me
Keep our love alive
I will dream of you
'till I reach the sun
