Western Togoland

Western Togoland () is an area "de jure" in the Republic of Ghana. The area of Western Togoland is divided into five regions: Volta, Oti, Northern region, North East region and Upper East Region. In September 2020 separatists in Western Togoland declared independence from the Republic of Ghana.
Western Togoland has been a member state of the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization (UNPO) since 2017.
History.
The German Empire established the Togoland protectorate in 1884. Under German administration, the protectorate was regarded as a model colony or "Musterkolonie" and experienced a golden age. During the First World War in 1914, Britain and France invaded the protectorate. After the German defeat and the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, the western part of Togoland became a British mandate, British Togoland.
After the Second World War British Togoland became a United Nations Trust Territory that was under British administration.
In 1957 the Western Togolese voted in a plebiscite to become part of what is now Ghana.
On May 9, 2017, the Homeland Study Group Foundation () unsuccessfully tried to declare the independence of Western Togoland.
On May 7, 2019, the national executive of the Volta separatist group, Homeland Study Group Foundation (HSGF/FGEP), Emmanuel Agbavor has rejected claims that the group had a militia.
On September 25, 2020, secessionists demanded that Ghanaian Security forces leave the Volta Region after attacking several police stations in the North Tongu District of the Volta Region. In a press statement declaring their secession from Ghana, the Homeland Study Group Foundation under the leadership of Charles Kormi Kudzordz declared sovereignty over the area. The Government of Ghana did not take the declaration seriously, viewing it as a "joke", although prominent security expert Adib Sani urged the government to treat the issue as a national security risk.
There have been injuries and deaths in the clash(es) following the declaration of independence though the Republic of Ghana claims to have gained intel on those clashes before they occurred.
Ghanaian sources claim the secessionist group heading the independence movement, the Homeland Study Group, is under control. However, the secessionists took over arms and set up road blockades. The president of the Republic of Ghana has denied negotiating with the secessionists.
