Being a journalist in Togo comes with challenges, as demonstrated by an incident involving two journalists, Abel Zindjodji and Manu Adjiwanou. During a debate show on Radio Victoire discussing the Togo Sparrowhawks’ friendly match against the Atlas Lions, an individual identified as one of the bodyguards of the President of the Togolese Football Federation (FTF) attempted to attack the journalists. The assailant, reported to be a soldier, was angered by the criticism of Mr. Gabriel Améyi during the program “Fou de Foot.” The incident underscores the difficulties journalists may face in the country.
