Togolese residents of Lome look through the windows of the Library of the Goethe Institute German cultural center, after it was torched in Lome, Togo on Friday. The center promoted cultural exchange with Germany who first colonized Togo in 1884. A group of heavily armed men stormed into the center before dawn on Friday detaining guards at gunpoint while the attackers fired shots and burned the main library in the latest violence racking the country since disputed presidential elections.May 01, 2005
