Faure Gnassingbé's commission showering upside down

From commissions to committees, the commission set up by Faure Gnassingbé to stand still. The warnings to this effect have not failed, and time now confirms it. After seven months of activities, the committee of intellectuals, who are supposed to get the most out of the work of all the other committees, comes back to square one: a tour to gather the suggestions of the populations on the question of the reforms. How far will the UNIR regime go and when will the reforms in Togo? When Awa-Nana Daboya organized a workshop on reforms in July 2016, savvy spirits quickly made a shout at a dilatory event, to turn the people into a jerk. After days of ballet in the sumptuous Radisson blu 2 February in Lomé, against a backdrop of waste of public funds, Faure Gnassingbé returned the findings to the drawer and reinstated a new commission composed of figures like Adji Othèt Ayassor, and Dodzi Kokoroko Which are no longer to be presented in the intimates of the Head of State. The committee

Energy: the constraints of an energy dependency

With a population estimated at 7 million inhabitants in 2015 and very unevenly distributed over a territory of only 56 600 km², access to energy is a very crucial challenge in Togo. Only 33% of the population has access to electricity. Togo produces only 10% of its energy consumption and imports the rest of the countries of the subregion to exorbitant deployment costs. This is the main cause of the unequal access of the population to energy (only 5% of the rural population reached, the rest reserved for urban areas). From unbearable burdens to the new environmental challenges, an energy transition is needed in Togo, as everywhere else in the world. The Electric Power Company of Togo (CEET) is the state body responsible for the production, import and distribution of electricity. It produces only 28.2 megawatts (MW) through thermal power plants and a single hydroelectric power station with a capacity of 1.6 MW. The country imports 200 MW of Nigerian Transmission Company, 100 MW

"Fieffé optimistic for the future of Africa", it is thus that is defined that which some calls the last "Pan-Africanist" survivor of his generation still in Africa. In this exclusive interview, Edem Kodjo himself confirms his obsessive attachment to Africa in these terms: "pan-Africanist yesterday, pan-Africanist today, pan-Africanist always".

For some time, the debate on the CFA franc has made waves, unleashing passions. Do you share the

Faure Gnassigbe's fifteen million CFA grant undermines peace in Landa

It's almost back to normal habits. The Evalas struggles, or even the traditional ritual of the Akpema girls in the Kozah prefecture, are accompanied by an envelope of the head of state attending these ceremonies. As usual, President Faure Gnassingbe put his hand to the pocket, a "gesture" of 15 million FCFA was made. But money is the root of all evil, it is said. And the proof is palpable in the canton of Landa in the prefecture of Kozah. The chief township is accused by the young Evalas to take over the sum. Wella Héyou, Chief Canton, since it is about him that saw his house sacked. We also learn that the house of Col Awaté Hodabalo, Prefect of the Gulf, native of the middle is also upside down. To calm this ardor which threatens to ignite the whole canton, a detachment of the soldiers of Camp Améyi is on the spot. The village is currently squared by the military.
