what does it mean for africa

Togo captain Emmanuel Adebayor has told French radio his team will return home from the Africa Cup of Nations following advice from their government. Although the team initially wanted to leave the tournament after a gun attack on the team killed three people, they then said they would stay on in Angola. But Togo Prime Minister Gilbert Houngbo insisted the team leave the country for security reasons. Tournament organisers have said the event will still go ahead as planned. The attack on Togo's convoy in the northern enclave of Cabinda killed an assistant coach, press officer and bus driver, and injured several other players. Adebayor, who plays in the Premier League with Manchester City, had previously said the team thought that life should go on and they did not want to be seen as ruining the Nations Cup which begins on Sunday.
