At the weekend all sixteen qualified nations were confirmed for the tournament to hosted by Gabon.
Burkina Faso and Uganda join Algeria, Cameroon, Egypt, Ghana, Guinea-Bissau, Ivory Coast, Mali, Morocco, Senegal, Zimbabwe and hosts Gabon as qualifiers for the 2017 Cup of Nations. A 5-0 home win over Djibouti on Sunday ensured Togo had the better goal difference despite Emmanuel Adebayor missing a penalty.
DR Congo took control in the second half to whip Central African Republic 4-1 in a top-of-the-table Group B clash and finish five points clear.
Burkina Faso top Group G with 13 points, the same as joint leader Uganda who defeated Comoros 1-0 earlier in the day.
A last-minute victor from Banou Diawara ensured Burkina topped Group D with a 2-1 home victory over nine-man Botswana.
The Cranes qualified as one of the two best group runners-up and will travel to Gabon next year to make their first appearance at the finals of the tournament since 1978.
