Jerry Rawlings's Ghana disperses Togolese protesters. 27 people arrested will be presented to a judge today

It is not good to be demonstrating the Togolese opposition in Ghana, a barometer of democracy, a good student in the field with all the regular and recurring congratulations of the international community and the Togolese opposition. The latter, taking indeed for a scallop, the country of the twirling captain John Jerry Rawlings - the very one who launched a few weeks ago to the place of the Togolese authorities to recognize, accept and grant the right to Opposition demonstrations - wanted to make the streets of Ghana roar, about the ongoing crisis in our country and in this case the "fuzzy and unclear" claims of the opposition.



In Accra, Ghana, last Saturday, trampling on the principles governing public demonstrations, badly took these rogue protesters. The Ghanaian police - a darling of the Togolese opposition among all African police - has not been kind to them. It simply dispersed the protest and arrested 27 of the 300 protesters converging on Kawukudi Park. And according to several sources, the case of 27 Togolese arrested will be examined by the police on Monday for violation of public order ...

For the sake of all Togolese and for a reconsideration rather citizen and objective maps in the turbulence socio-political of the hour, several lessons are to be learned from this dispersal of Togolese protesters on foreign soil.

The violation of the provisions governing the right to protest can not go unpunished. "No one should be worried about his opinions, even religious, provided that their manifestation does not disturb the public order established by the law. " Warning ! This famous phrase of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, taken up symbolically and variously by several Constitutions of the world should not be misleading. The freedom to demonstrate is always subject to a specific framework, including prior authorization, the conditions of which are detailed in the decree-law of April 2011 in the case of Togo, a provision still known as the "Bodjona Act".

The freedom to manifest one's religion or beliefs may not be subject to any restrictions other than those which, provided by law, constitute necessary measures in a democratic society for public security, the protection of the public order public health or morals, or the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.

No law has ever prospered without "strength". And the attempt to discipline - in the context of the law - individuals who still want to slap their torso to be "outlaws" is not unique to Togo or Togolese crisis abroad The Ghana of Jerry Rawlings disperses Togolese protesters 27 people arrested will be presented to a judge today It is not good to be demonstrating the Togolese opposition on Ghana soil, barometer of democracy, good student in the field with all Regular and recurrent congratulations from the international community and the Togolese opposition. The latter, taking indeed for a petaudière, the country of the twirling captain John Jerry Rawlings - the very one who launched a few weeks ago to the place of the Togolese authorities to recognize, to accept and grant the right of demonstrations to the opposition - wanted to scold the streets of Ghana, about the ongoing crisis in our country and in this case the claims "blurred and inaccurate" the opposition . less of Ghana ... .the law is always tough, but it's the law. And that should be very enlightening for a former Ghanaian president like Jerry Rawlings, whose democracy forged by him, uses the legal and responsible canons to contain protesters, troublemakers.

Better, when we know that the Togolese crisis has taken these last times, another turn on the international scale, with all the wave of calls, if not "summons" to dialogue on the part of the international community, we are inclined to judge the management and reading of the Togolese opposition as irresponsible. Because, it is enough to analyze these calls to understand, that it is necessary to go to the dialogue or at least try to go to the dialogue before possibly envisaging a next demonstration of street in Togo or elsewhere. Especially since the Ghanaian Head of State, Nana K. Ado actively took part, last week in Niamey, in the meeting of the five presidents, in whose name Allassane Ouattara launched her message of firmness, for a hara on the demonstrations especially violent and an invitation to dialogue.
