Faure Gnassingbe — Mail & Guardian
Faure Gnassingbe – Togo
This good looking 51-year-old has been president of Togo since 2005. During his father’s tenure, he was appointed Minister of Equipment, a position he held for two years. He subsequently assumed his father’s seat after he passed away in 2005. Gnassingbe has ruled Togo for more than 15 years, and critics want him to go, seeking an end to his family’s over 50-year grip on power.
