[2][3] Western Togoland has been a member state of the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization (UNPO) since 2017.

Under German administration, the protectorate was regarded as a model colony or Musterkolonie and experienced a golden age.

In the 1956 British Togoland status plebiscite, 58% of the western Togolese voted to integrate into what would in 1957 become independent Ghana.

Languages of Western Togoland include English, French, Ewe, Dangme, Avatime, and several others.

The WTRF could follow in the wake of other secessionist movements in the region such as those in Anglophone Cameroon, which quickly turned into an open armed conflict with the Cameroonian government.
