LOME, Togo (AP) - Togo said security forces and opposition members were both to blame for political violence earlier this year, making the admission after U.N. report said the government was mostly responsible for mayhem that killed as many as 500 people.
The government said in a statement late Monday it would study the conclusions of the report released earlier that day by the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights.
"The security forces that were trying to maintain law and order and the opposition militants must share the blame and responsibility for the violence that took place," Togo's Minister for Information Kokou Tozoun told The Associated Press.
