Nations Cup To Go Ahead






The African Nations Cup finals will go ahead despite an attack on the Togo team bus by unknown assailants as they entered Angola on Friday to compete in the tournament.
A bus driver was killed in a gun attack shortly after the side crossed the border into the Cabinda enclave, where Togo are due to play its first group match on Monday.
Two players were injured in the attack, as were a further seven team officials, Angolan government officials confirmed.
“Our first priority is the safety of the players but the tournament will go ahead,” said the Confederation of African Football spokesman Suleimanu Habubu in Luanda on Friday.
Togo team members were seeking to return home after the attack, thought to be carried out by separatists seeking independence for the oil-rich territory, which lies to the north of Angola but is separated from the country by the Democratic Republic of Congo.
CAF said high-ranking officials would fly to area on Saturday.
“We want to know the full facts which we don’t have as yet. We cannot offer a reaction yet to the media before we have assessed the situation,” he told reporters.
Habuba said Togo had failed to communicate their travel plans.
The team had been preparing for the tournament in Ponte Noire in Congo, some 150km north of Cabinda. The team crossed by bus into Cabinda after which their convoy came under fire.
Midfielder Thomas Dossevi told French radio the attack had lasted some 15 minutes. Cabinda, which has a newly built stadium with a 30,000-seater capacity for the tournament, also hosts matches involving Ghana, the Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso.
Players due to play in the opening Group B matches on Monday included Didier Drogba and Michael Essien.
Togo’s African Footballer of the Year Emmanuel Adebayor was not injured, his club Manchester City said on Friday, but goalkeeper Kodjovi Obilale and defender Serge Akakpo were wounded in the attack, Togo officials confirmed.
The stadium in Cabinda was one of four new venues built for the 16-team tournament, which starts in Luanda on Sunday.
Angola is recovering from decades of civil war and has limited infrastructure, which is being several taxed by the number of visitors for the three-week event.

FIFA 'Moved' By Togo Shooting

The team bus had just entered the Cabinda province from Congo when a 30-minute attack by gunmen on their convey left goalkeeper Kodjovi Obilale and defender Serge Akakpo wounded.
“FIFA and its President, Joseph S. Blatter, are deeply moved by today's incidents which affected Togo's national team, to whom they express their utmost sympathy,” a FIFA statement said. “FIFA is in touch with the African Football Confederation (CAF) and its President, Issa Hayatou, from which it expects a full report on the situation.”
Togo will decide on Saturday whether to remain in the competition as they are due to play their opening fixture against Ghana on Monday

Togo May Still Pull Out


Togo star Emmanuel Adebayor has confirmed that the side are considering pulling out of the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations in Angola.

This comes after the fatal attack on their bus convoy travelling to the game through the province from Cabinda from Congo, which left a bus driver dead and nine people wounded, including two players, goalkeeper Kodjovi Obilale and defender Serge Akakpo.
The team is set to meet on Saturday to decide their participation, but even if they do remain in the competition, the mental affects of the attack by the gunmen are likely to be lasting ones.
"I think a lot of players want to leave, I don't think they want to be at this tournament any more because they have seen their death already,” Adebayor told BBC Radio Five Live. "Most of the players want to go back to their family. No-one can sleep after what they have seen. They have seen one of their team-mates have a bullet in his body, who is crying, who is losing consciousness and everything.
"So we will have a good meeting, everyone will go to their room, they will rest and we will see. [On Saturday morning] we will make a decision which is good for our life.
"We are still in shock. If the security is not sure then we will be leaving. I don't think they will be ready to give their life. We will discuss everything as a team and we will take a decision that we think is good for our career, is good for our life and good for our family."
