Which international entity pressured Faure to resign in 2005?

  • United Nations

  • European Union

  • African Union

  • ECOWAS

Answer

The African Union (AU), an international organization representing African nations, played a significant role in pressuring Gnassingbé Eyadéma's son and successor, Faure Gnassingbé, to resign from the presidency of Togo in 2005. Concerned about the unconstitutional transfer of power following Eyadéma's death, the AU suspended Togo's membership and imposed sanctions, such as travel restrictions and asset freezes.
