The competition is organised by CAF so it's their competition and their rules.

Actualy thier own competition rules quotes FIFA regulations throughout the document with grounds, balls, refs and including fines. I'm sure that Fifa will be asking serious questions..

Especially this rule

16.10. The matches shall be played in compliance with the laws decided by the
International Football Association Board and promulgated by FIFA.

assuming that spineless FIFA will not act I hope some of the other country associations withdraw from the next two tournaments in solidarity

Togo will compete in the next African Cup of Nations in 2012 after having their ban lifted with immediate effect.

The decision to reinstate Togo was confirmed, as expected, by the Confederation of African Football (Caf) executive at a meeting in Cairo, Egypt.
