Togo has temporarily suspended the issuance of all new mining permits to foreign mining companies, as they seek to join the Alliance of Sahel States.
“We are taking a necessary break to build a new mining framework that benefits our people, respects the environment, and ensures national sovereignty,” said a spokesperson for the ministry.
This move comes as Togo considers joining the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), a rising geopolitical bloc founded by Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger.
