Protest of pro-Kpatcha in Kara: Reality or manipulation?



On Saturday, January 13, the ruling party was invited into the streets of some localities of the country, for a so-called march of peace. Dapaong, Kara, Bassar, Tchamba, Sotouboua, Atakpamé and Tsévié are the localities selected after a meeting of executives from all regions, on Thursday, January 11 to the presidency of the Republic under the air-conditioned tent. A raid in the streets in response to the coalition of 14 parties that also invited its activists to beat the pavement in several localities.


 In the Maritime region, the party in power seems to have all the difficulties to mobilize in the capital and its suburbs. UNIR to avoid a disavowal, has folded on the city of Tsévié that seems to turn into a stronghold. While opposition activists stormed the streets on UNIR's side, old methods were used, including import-export, banknotes and threats. Despite all this, the harvest was not great. According to a party leader, in Atakpamé, for example, Unite in spite of banknotes, could not mobilize more than 6000 supporters from the 12 prefectures of the Plateaux region.

In Tsévié, it was not the big crowd either. If all in all went well, the city of Kara had a special day. Kara is the city forbidden to opponents. The opposition supporters most persecuted to date in this city are those of PNP TikpiAtcahdam. The hooligans and other barbouzes who spread terror in this city, with the support of the regime in place, do not want to feel any opponent in this locality. A few months ago, a delegation of the Coalition that went there was forced to turn back by the heavily armed military. Violence against PNP militants, with violations of private homes is almost daily. Only the UNIR party has the right to operate in this locality. It is in this sense that UNIR has programmed its peace march in Kara.

According to sources contacted from the city, organized youths claiming the former defense minister, Kpatcha Gnassingbé, imprisoned in the Lomé civil prison following the dark affair of undermining the internal security of the state, also invited to the streets to disrupt the rally of the ruling party. The peace march was no longer really one. To avoid this affront, these discordant voices in a city where people are forced to look in the slightest direction, the indelicates who chanted "Free Kpatcha" were quickly dispersed with tear gas and batons. Wounded including 3 serious and more than a dozen people were arrested. This false note during the UNIR demonstration in Kara provokes some observations.

In a city where the slightest deeds and actions of those who do not carry the regime in their hearts are tracked and detected, how could these so-called pro-Kpatcha Gnassingbé youth get organized and take the streets on Saturday, January 13? without the authorities of the city and all the intelligence agents having seen anything coming? Mystery. Are they really young people close to the former MP? In a country where grotesque manipulation and mounts are erected as methods of government, it is better not to take the information first. In this case, it is possible that these young people are really proKpatcha, just like people manipulated.

Indeed, for some time now, heads of state of the region, especially those involved in political mediation, have been advocating for the release of all political prisoners, including Kpatcha Gnassingbé and his friends. It is in this sense that several inmates in this scabrous issue are released in the drip. This process should result in the release of the other three detainees in this case, namely Casimir Dontema, Commander Ati and Kpatcha Gnassingbé himself. This prospect does not delight those who have worked openly or in the shadow of the sudden fall of Faure Gnassingbé's half-brother. They have always multiplied the obstacles and sealed all initiatives going in this direction.

The famous protest march of the so-called pro Kpatcha Gnassingbe is curious, especially since this action, to analyze it closely, does not suit the person who is anxiously awaiting his release. One can validly, and rightly, ask oneself the question of who is behind this action. Is it a spontaneous action led by people of good faith, supporters of the former Minister of Defense or a sponsored act whose purpose is to stop the process of liberation that is currently underway?
Good to follow!

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
