Newsline: Togo, France expel diplomats in tit-for-tat spat
France said on Tuesday it had asked a diplomat at the Togo embassy in Paris to leave the country in retaliation for the expulsion of a French diplomat from the West African country. The foreign ministry declined to say why Togo had targeted France’s first secretary in Lome, who was named as Eric Bosc, and defended his record in the former French colony. French Foreign Ministry spokesman Bernard Valero declined to comment on reports that Togo believed Bosc had developed too close ties with one of the candidates standing in 2010 presidential elections.
