Faure Gnassingbé, the denial of reality to the end ...



"Today, those who intoxicate and lie have found an ally in technology. One can transform a righteous thing or a simple man like me into a bloodthirsty dictator. I discovered that I was a bloody dictator, "said Faure Gnassingbé at the UNIR party congress in Tsévié last Saturday. A statement that makes waves, so much the man sees himself "right" and makes believe that he is an angel, contrary to what the people think of him.



According to the Larousse dictionary, a "dictator" is a "person who, at the head of a State, holds all the powers, exercising them without control and in an arbitrary, autocratic manner. Person who imposes his points of view on others ". To believe the same dictionary, a "bloodthirsty" is a person "who does not hesitate to spread the lang". And so, this is the person whom Faure Gnassingbé says is not at the head of a country where arbitrariness, impunity, violations of the most basic rights, looting and despotism have become the things best shared.

Faure Gnassingbe said to be a "simple man" and not a "dictator"; and yet it is under his rule that many people are arbitrarily arrested, detained, tortured and even murdered for their opinion, their position or their political affiliation. We still remember the assassination of the political scientist and historian AtsutsèAgbobli whose dead body was discovered at the beach of Lomé on August 15, 2008. The announced investigations have never managed to locate the opinion. Also, the case of the fires of the big markets of Lomé and Kara is this file which made headlines under Faure Gnassingbé. This crime, which is blamed on opposition leaders (although the Togolese know the perpetrators of these despicable acts), was the beginning of the chase against these leaders and their activists. Some, like Etienne Yakanou, have died in their place of detention. Others are still suffering from the effects of the torture they suffered from the regime's torturers. Not to mention that people are still in detention until today in this case. His own brother Kpatcha Gnassingbé did not escape the excesses of his regime. There is no need here to remind him that he has been in prison for years because of an incredible affair of undermining the internal security of the state. What about Pascal Bodjona, the handyman who has also suffered the same fate. Not to mention that people are still in detention until today in this case.

What about Pascal Bodjona, the handyman who has also suffered the same fate.

Since the beginning of the contestation of power Faure Gnassingbe on August 19, several Togolese are thrown into prison, against the backdrop of sloppy trials here and there. The rights of peaceful public demonstrations are being reduced. Several other situations show that Togo is not a democracy. Togolese live in a country where there are only signs of dictatorship. But if Faure Gnassingbé declares that he is not a dictator, who then runs the country?

The Prince calls himself "simple" and not "bloodthirsty". But no one forgets that it was on the corpses of a thousand Togolese that he came to power in 2005. And it continues ... until today. At the slightest denial of his power, he himself, also a defense minister, brought out weapons against his people who came down the streets with their bare hands. In just two months, there are already about twenty (20) dead, hundreds injured by live ammunition and other weapons and hundreds of refugees. All indications are that the target of the "linguistic dictatorship" remains the children. This is evidenced by the case of the 10-year-old Joseph who was shot by the military in Bè-Kpota (Lomé) on October 18th; Agrigna Rachid, 15, killed in Bafilo on 20 September; another 9-year-old killed in Mango in the same circumstances .. . In April 2013, two students, Anselme Sinandaré and DoutiSinalengue were cowardly murdered by the police in the pay of Faure Gnassingbé. These children were just asking for their teachers who were on strike. One was shot, the other by caning. In addition to those people who are dying by military savagery, just to keep the power.

Even if he refuses to admit it, Faure Gnassingbé can not deny this heavy liability that follows him wherever he goes. This macabre statement rubs off on legitimacy. It is clear to all, the regime of which it is beneficiary today presents all the characteristics of the definitions which Larousse gives the words "dictator" and "bloodthirsty". But to act as if nothing had happened, that Togo is a paradise and that he (Faure Gnassingbe) would be an angel or just a "just" as he says, unfortunately comes from the denial of reality that does not please not to the Togolese, even if he thinks to go to the end in this logic. Sad for Togo!

Oruko Amutorunwa (Pre-Destined Names) In Yorubaland

                                                           Ibeji (Twins) In Yoruba land, one of the most important things done when a child is born is to give the child a name. This comes after the child’s ritual birth, massage of specific body parts and other rites as well. Names are given to the child by the father, mother, grandparents (paternal and maternal) and some close relatives also. But sometimes, the circumstance of a child’s birth will automatically give the child a name. This name is known as ‘orúko àmútọ̀runwá’ (pre-destined or generic name) in Yorubaland. The most common generic names (orúko àmútọ̀runwá) in Yoruba land are ‘Taiwo‘ and ‘Kehinde‘ (altogether known as Ìbejì) which are given to twins. The first born of the twins is called Táíwò, a shortened form of Tò-aiyé-wò (taste the world) while the last born of the twins is called Kéhìndé which literally means “the last to come”. Contrary to the popular belief that Taiwo, being the first born of the twins, is old

Nearly 200 Togolese workers falsely dismissed by the Chinese company CRBC

Nearly 200 employees of the Chinese company CRBC (China Road and Bridge Corporation) to rehabilitate the roads Lomé-Vogan-Afoin and Lome-Noépé, were falsely dismissed this week. It is following confrontations occurred during the mood swings of the 08 and 09 February.  These workers, very dissatisfied with their dismissal, say they do not stop there. They plan, in the coming days, and together with the leaders of the Union of Workers, Managers, Employees of Public Works and Buildings (SOECTRAB), major actions to get into their right. According to Gavor Kodjo, Secretary General of SOECTRAB who defends the workers dismissed by this Chinese company, the reasons why the Chinese company returns workers on construction sites do not hold water. "Workers are indignant against the very low hourly rate that does not even meet the Collective Interprofessional Convention, long hours of work without rest. They are often assigned to workplaces without being paid for the housing or tra
