Added to the murderous violence of Atakpame in 2005, Dapaong in 2013 and Mango in 2016, the Lomé power will still have to its credit the dead of Sokode. At the call of the Pan-African National Party (PNP), the Togolese were invited to publicly and peacefully demonstrate Saturday, demanding the unconditional return to the 1992 Constitution which enshrines a "two-round ballot" and the " And the right to vote in the diaspora. But this peaceful march waged by the organizers will have found the non-systematic of the Minister of Territorial Administration and Local Government, who accused the organizers of reluctant to follow the route intended by his administration.
At his side, on Thursday, August 17, Colonel Damehame Yark, in front of the press, his counterpart of the Security and Civil Protection, threw the pavement into the pond by a gap of language badly digested by PNP activists and sympathizers.
"What is PNP?", The question that upset!
Between panic mingled with sufficiency and contempt, Col. Damehame Yark committed a blunder badly digested by the party's base to the symbol of the Horse. "... What is PNP? There were political parties that demonstrated with him. If they (demonstrators) dare, we will disperse them in a conventional and clean way. Will be able to! "Said the Minister of Security and Civil Protection, as threats against the protesters. But instead of blunting their ardor, these "Yarkist" threats, on the other hand, inoculated a good dose of motivation to the militants who went there with determination in their unrest. Faced with armed forces in Lomé, Kara, Bafilo, Anié and Sokode, mobilization has not diminished.
Shots of tear gas, projectiles, pursuit races, the day of Saturday was, once again, murderous in Togo. An official report reveals two deaths, including one shot in Sokode, more than 50 wounded including about twenty police officers, material damage and arrests including the Secretary General of the PNP. Meanwhile, the organizers evoke seven (7) dead. How many condemnations since then! Both political parties and civil society organizations all expressed their stupefaction and confusion in the face of these murderous acts of violence, in the process of national reconciliation. All in all, a bad signal for the power of Faure Gnassingbe whose efforts made in recent years for a Togo more united and reconciled to itself have been sabotaged, in fact,
One wonders where the Minister of Communications, the government spokesperson, was when Constable Yark was allowed to unravel for days in an exercise for which he was least qualified with his trellis. The consequence is there. The power of Lomé himself served as a killer to the international media. Pitang Tchalla may complain, but he must avoid evil upstream. It is the place for the power to gauge the effectiveness of these disastrous networks constituted just on the basis of clientelism and belly which advises them primary tracks of reactions or counter-attack media in these kinds of situations.
A detrimental language gap
An analysis of the situation reveals, for the most part, the responsibility of the Minister of Security and Civil Protection, who, in his zeal, set fire to the powder magazine. Especially when he wanted ironically to minimize before the press, Tikpi and his party by his famous question. And then we know it. Still dead on the Earth of our ancestors.
To each question, an answer. Today we have the right to ask the minister "securocrate" if he has finally had the answer to his famous question. This, then, is an event that saddens, moreover, its image somewhat hampered by the past but that it has been trying for a while to polish before national and international opinion. And at this pace, the son to Gnassingbe Eyadema goes straight into the wall. The signals are red through several observations. First, the determination of PNP militants and part of the population resolved to do battle with the old methods.
These resolutions succeeded in sequestering, disarming and then beating the security forces, rallying part of the base of the National Alliance for Change (ANC) to the NPP's The troubled play of certain advisers of the Head of State and above all, this famous tour of Hcrrun seemed to stir up the flame of resentment and frustration in the hearts of the Togolese who did not have cold in the eyes of the speaker To Awa Nana and her "troupe" in Dapaong, Mango, Kara and Sokode.
APG 11 years after ... Faure Gnassingbe faced with history!
Faure is today in front of history by continuing to postpone the operationalization of the reforms prescribed by the Global Political Agreement (Apg) signed in August 2006. Between obstinate always to play by games of political hide-and-seek and to satisfy the profound aspiration of the people, Faure is now summoned to choose. And he can do it, unless he always delights in the political mic-mac advised by some in his entourage. Today, it is more than a certainty, the political map is redrawn within the opposition by the emergence of the PNP. Faure must no longer continue to count on the unproductive method and the weakness of the opponents of yesterday who will eventually demotivate their base by their non-carrier methods.
The government now has to face a PNP that it seems not to consider but which nevertheless draws the world and whose speech and method of its national president today force the esteem and admiration among the public. Already the rallying is on the side of the opposition to this effect, at the call of Tikpi, including civil society organizations (Osc), there is hope for something new.
