<div class="">Chapter delegates,</div>

</div>
<div class="">As you may be aware, this week the government of
Togo shut down access to the Internet in the country in the wake
of protests after the recent election there. Our ISOC Togo
Chapter issued this statement yesterday (in French):</div>

<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">and ISOC Togo Chapter president/chairman Norbert
Glakpe was interviewed (audio) as part of this article today by
RFI Afrique (in French):</div>

<div class="">Given the lack of Internet access, it is challenging
for the Togo Chapter to do much on social media right now, but
we tweeted out their statement earlier today:</div>

<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">and then this afternoon published a short post
supporting their statement and pointing to the article and other
resources:</div>
