Western Togoland (French: Togoland de l'Ouest) is a self-proclaimed state which is considered by the international community to be part of Ghana. It claims five of the Volta and Oti Regions. On 25 September 2020 separatists in Western Togoland declared independence from the Republic of Ghana.[2][3] Western Togoland has been a member state of the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization (UNPO) since 2017.[4]
