Kodjoviakope is a neighborhood of Lomé is on the western side of the city, bounded by the Route Circulaire and the Togo-Ghana border. It is known as one of the city's opposition strongholds. During Togo's riots of 2005, following the death of Gnassingbé Eyadema, it was the site of some of the fiercest fighting and looting of Lebanese-owned businesses. The border street is known for illegal frontier crossings and drug trafficking. Landmarks in the neighborhood include the Lycée Francais de Lomé, the American International School, the Peace Corps office and Philipats, a popular restaurant.
