At least three people were killed and 20 others injured in Togo as voting ended in tense presidential elections marred by claims of massive fraud.
Late Sunday, tensions ran high in areas of the tiny western African state's capital, where opposition supporters wielding machettes and clubs had erected barricades to protest alleged irregularities. Witnesses also said that police opened fire in four districts.
The violence came after voters in Togo turned out in force Sunday to elect a successor to Gnassingbe Eyadema, hardline ruler for 38 years, with both opposition and the ruling parties trading accusations of "massive fraud".
