The 2010 African Nations Cup in Angola is fast becoming a debacle. Togo, one of the competing teams, has decided to pull out after a violent gun attack by some Angolan rebels on the Togo team bus that was traveling through Angola. The attack killed the bus driver, the Togo assistant coach & another Togo team official.
The Togo football squad are understandably shaken by these tragic developments. They have decided that their safety is of paramount importance & that the best way of ensuring their safety was to withdraw from the tournament.
Such a shame that things have happened the way they did. I can't blame Togo for their decision to withdraw. Hopefully Confederation of African Football will understand Togo's decision & do something to ensure that all participating teams in future African Nations Cup tournaments will have assurances of their safety & protection.
