The Islamisation of what is now the Republic of Togo dates from the beginning of the 18th century, through the activities of traders and the settlement of Islamised population groups. Islam has been weak there, but has constantly progressed, whilst affecting different regions and groups in a variable manner. On 27 September 1963, what had been previously completely unstructured saw the formation of the Muslim Union of Togo (UMT), breathing into its structure a new dynamic as part of the one-party state of the Rassemblement du peuple togolais. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/544 dcterms:provenance Leiden bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1883 bibo:editorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1929 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1930 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1932 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1931 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1933 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.1163/1573-3912_islam_COM_1236 10.1163/1573-3912_islam_COM_1236 --
