Alert: Formalin in our dishes

An unhealthy practice is developing more and more in Togo. It consists of resellers of food and other edible foods, to replace sugar with formalin, a toxic chemical compound. At the expense of the health of consumers and the guilty silence of the authorities and consumer associations. To sweeten certain foods such as fruit juice, appetizers, bread, cakes, porridge and other various drinks and sugary foods, the resellers prefer to use the formalin they say sweeter to the detriment of ordinary sugar, the sucrose. We find the formaldehyde used in the kitchen so in the markets and retailers in the form of small grains, sold from 100FCFA. "It costs a lot less than normal sugar but is much more efficient," says an anonymous juice reseller at a primary school, confirming the mercantilist view behind the practice that consumers still want more sugar. Some say to a local duck that they do it to attract customers. "I use formalin to have a lot of customers. When the b

Difficult access to renewable energies: The big return of charcoal in households

The use of charcoal, for example for cooking, is one of the causes of deforestation. To eradicate this phenomenon, which is also one of the causes of climate change, the use of clean energies, especially butane gas, is recommended to the population. They have become accustomed to the majority by introducing this ecological practice in their habits. But with the high cost of butane gas, many households are still returning to charcoal today. In a country where electricity and gas are expensive commodities, many households, like those in other African countries, use charcoal as their primary source of energy for cooking. Others use it as a backup in case of emergency, during power outages, but more and more frequent. Some families who opted for gas eventually returned to charcoal. Back to the charcoal ...

Gilchrist Olympio calls on Faure Gnassingbe to step down in 2020

The National President of the Union of Forces for Change (UFC), Gilchrist Olympio, through a meeting with the press this morning in his residence (meeting that is still taking place today), expressed his support for the Togolese people fighting for his release. Obviously, the son of the first president of Togo is disappointed with the agreement RPT / UFC signed in 2010. The party with the emblem of the red palm has agreed to collaborate with the regime, in order to make reforms and put the country back on rails. But this project was only a failure. "The UFC has a disappointing record in the RPT-UFC deal, and the RPT / UNIR has planted the seeds of despair," Gilchrist Olympio said this morning. Through subterfuges, the regime has managed to roll the former historical opponent in the flour. For Mr. Olympio, Togo would be otherwise if the current regime had come to power under normal conditions. "Let's have the courage to recognize that if Faure Gnassingbe h

Gilchrist Olympio announces its permanent withdrawal from political life and cedes the presidency of the UFC

The National President of the Union of Forces of Change (UFC), Gilchrist Olympio permanently withdraws from Togolese political life. At more than 80 years old, the son of the first president of the Togolese Republic, Sylvanus Olympio, will announce in the coming hours his decision to leave the head of the party he founded in the 90s. A decision taken for several days and known to the cadres of his party and some of his activists. In the UFC, this decision is explained by the weight of age that prevents Mr. Olympio to influence the life of his party. This is a wise decision to give the place to the youth of the UFC to continue the political battle he has engaged for years, entrust to Afreepress, sources in the entourage of the opponent "History ". Gilchrist Olympio withdraws from the political scene after a historic agreement he signed with the RPT in May 2010 which allowed to decisperate the socio-political situation of the country and to restore confidence to the i

What about Togolese trapped in Libya and elsewhere in the world?

In the wake of the revelations of the American channel CNN on the trade of African migrants in Libya, some African states have jumped and taken real measures with the assistance of international organizations to repatriate their compatriots trapped in this country, where the man is still wolf for the man in this 21st century. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the European Union are accompanying Cameroon and Cote d'Ivoire respectively, who have already brought home hundreds of their compatriots. What about Togo? Togolese among the thousands of migrants sold at auction in Libya? Last August in Sokodé, we found with the administrative authorities that 08 out of 10 young people in this region swear on the hope of an adventure to the so-called European Eldorado. More and more of them are relying on the principle that their efforts, their daily survival initiatives, would be very well rewarded in Europe. Very active networks of smugglers are in full activi

Prohibition to demonstrate in Sokode and Bafilo: Is the power still waiting for Paris and Washington to comply?

The Coalition of 14 political parties of the opposition demonstrated the 7, 8 and 9 November in several cities of Togo. But demonstrations were prevented in Sokodé and Bafilo. A black spot, in the lifting of the prohibition to demonstrate on weekdays by the government. To this effect, one wonders whether the Togolese authorities are still waiting for injunctions from Paris and Washington before allowing demonstrations in these two cities in the interior of the country. On 7, 8 and 9 November, thousands of Togolese were still in the streets. Protesters responded overwhelmingly to the opposition's appeal. The opposition Coalition, which has been demanding for three months the return to the original constitution of 1992, the vote of the diaspora and the release of the political prisoners and the demonstrators incarcerated during the previous marches. In Lomé, the demonstrations went smoothly. No notable fact was found. Between the security services of the political parties

Why Faure can not "Nkurunzizer" Togo

The world witnessed helpless from 2015, to the massacres in Burundi following the decision of Pastor President Pierre Nkurunziza to seek a third term, in violation of the Arusha agreement that ended the civil war in August 2005. At the turn of a failed coup, the former Professor of Sport is pointing and refers all those who oppose him in exile for the happiest, six feet underground for the most unfortunate. Today, this small area of ​​East Africa is not far from a field in ruins. Just because a former warlord decides to reign for life over his country. Does he not intend to run for a fourth term at the end of the current one? At the onset of the current crisis in Togo, the strong methods used by the power of Faure Gnassingbé have made think for a moment to the "Nkurunzization" of Togo. Wild military repression, deployment of armed militias, forced exile of a part of the populations. By line, Togo was in the footsteps of Burundi. Only, there are many reasons tha

Crisis Outcome: The Resurrected Social Mandate Express

The third term of Faure Gnassingbé bears the seal of the social. This is at least the promise of the Head of State while campaigning for his third five-year at the head of Togo. But this promise during the first two years of the third term did not have the desired effect. Social projects are counted on the fingertips. Worse, some decisions run counter to the promise made by the Togolese Chief of the Executive. So, one wondered if the President of the Republic has forgotten his promise. Curiously, since the beginning of the socio-political crisis that shakes Togo, almost three months ago, Faure Gnassingbé finally seems to remember his commitment. In April 2015, while campaigning for the presidential elections of April 25, 2015, Faure Gnassingbé, candidate for his own succession, had made a promise to his constituents: This third term will be that of the Social. At that time, the Head of State certainly wanted to provide an adequate response to the many cries of distress Togole
