 Togo&#8217;s transport ministry has announced the suspension of the ride-hailing app Yango, owned by Russia&#8217;s tech giant Yandex, due to security concerns. 



The decision, made public on Thursday, comes just months after Yango began operations in the West African nation in June.



In its statement, the ministry highlighted that Yango commenced operations without the necessary authorization, violating established legal procedures. 



The ministry expressed that the suspension was necessary to ensure the safety of passengers and maintain order within the transport sector.



“The activities of the operator YANGO are therefore suspended across the entire national territory,” the statement read.



In response, Yango clarified that it operates independently from Yandex and is headquartered in Dubai. 



The company expressed its commitment to resolving the situation, stating that discussions with the Togolese government are currently underway. Yango remains optimistic about finding a solution that would allow it to continue its services in Togo.
