Faure Gnassingbé plays godfather of Mali transition
Togo's president, who since August has forged close links with putschist officers in Mali, wants to persuade the vice-president of the transitional government, Assimi Goita, to give more leeway to Prime Minister Moctar Ouane. Lomé is set to host the next meeting of the Mali Transition Support Group in February.
