The 1967 Togolese coup d'état was a bloodless military coup that occurred in the West African country of Togo on 13 January 1967. The leader of the coup, Lieutenant Colonel Étienne Eyadéma (later General Gnassingbé Eyadéma) ousted Togo's second President, Nicolas Grunitzky, whom he essentially brought to power following the 1963 coup d'état. Following the coup, political parties were banned, and all constitutional processes were suspended. Colonel Kléber Dadjo was named interim President of Togo (as Chairman of the National Reconciliation Committee), a position that he held until 14 April 1967, when Eyadéma assumed the presidency.Eyadéma went on to rule the country until his death on 5 February 2005.

The 1986 Togolese coup d'état attempt was a coup attempt that occurred in the West African country of Togo on 23 September 1986.

The 1963 Togolese coup d'état was a military coup that occurred in the West African country of Togo on 13 January 1963. The coup leaders — notably Emmanuel Bodjollé, Étienne Eyadéma (later Gnassingbé Eyadéma) and Kléber Dadjo — took over government buildings, arrested most of the cabinet, and assassinated Togo's first president, Sylvanus Olympio, outside the American embassy in Lomé. The coup leaders quickly brought Nicolas Grunitzky and Antoine Meatchi, both of whom were exiled political opponents of Olympio, together to form a new government. While the government of Ghana and its president Kwame Nkrumah were implicated in the coup and assassination of Olympio, the investigation was never completed, and the international outcry eventually died down. The event was important as the first coup d'état in the French and British colonies of Africa that achieved independence in the 1950s and 1960s, and Olympio is remembered as one of the first heads of state to be assassinated during a military coup in Africa.

Because it is the only high-rise in Lomé (and in Togo), it is visible from just about anywhere in the city. The hotel was constructed at a cost of 35 billion West African CFA francs and opened in June 1980 by Togolese President Gnassingbé Eyadéma. It was named for the date, February 2, 1974, on which he nationalized the country's phosphate mines, following his survival of the 1974 Togo presidential C-47 crash. The hotel was originally managed by Sofitel as Hotel Sofitel du 2 Février The hotel closed in 2000 and in February of that year, the government of Togo was loaned $20 million to renovate the property by the Libyan African Investment Company (LAICO). On May 8, 2002, Malta-based Corinthia Hotels International was signed to manage the property after its intended renovation. The shuttered hotel was sold outright to LAICO in 2006, in exchange for forgiveness of the loan and a promise to renovate the hotel. When LAICO had not carried out the renovations after 8 years, the hotel was nationalized by the Togolese government on November 10, 2014 and renovations were begun. While the hotel was being renovated, the Carlson Rezidor group assumed management on February 26, 2015. The hotel reopened in April 2016 as the Radisson Blu Hotel du 2 Février.
