Togo Begins Rotation of Independence Day Main Celebration on April 27

Sources: Jeune Afrique and Togo public holidays. Togo officials have announced that tomorrow's Independence Day main official celebration would be held in Dapaong, in the savanna region, 600 km north of the capital, Lomé, and that this rotation of the annual location of the main celebration would continue in future years.

Analysis: This is a trend that seems to be developping in Africa, with other countries, such as Gabon and Equatorial Guinea, already rotating the location of their annual national holiday celebration.
