Antoine Randolph calls on the Togolese people to resume their fight

The inaction of the Coalition of 14 against the procrastination of the regime does not reassure the diaspora. In a message to the Togolese people, Antoine Randolph, one of the leaders of the Togolese Resistance Committee (CTR) invites him to resume his struggle for liberation.  CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE PEOPLE REVEALS ON THE BIG DAY! Dear Patriotes of the Togolese Resistance, Dear fellow citizens, Thanks to the initiative of the PNP - Pan-African National Party - and its President, Master Atchadam Tikpi, the people resolutely stood up on 19 August against the neocolonial, military and mafia dictatorship ruled by the Gnassingbe for 50 years. The people realized that day that they could regain their freedom, regain justice and take their destiny to rebuild Togo, plunged into misery and suffering multiple fractures. It is these deep and legitimate aspirations that animate the people to remain standing for seven months without fail and that they accept immense sacrifices caused

Discordant voices within the coalition: Need for group discipline

The serenity within the coalition of 14 political parties seems to be undermined in recent days. Originally, the call of the National Panafrican Party (Pnp) to a series of marches that should be held from yesterday Tuesday to end next Saturday, after a break on Friday. In response to the coalition's letter to this effect, the Minister of Territorial Administration replied with a No. And the discordant reactions were not long in the other parties of the coalition who openly denounce the "cavalier" approach of the party of Tikpi Atchadam, which runs counter to a fundamental principle, group discipline.  An approach that divides The approach had sown a monstrous confusion within the opposition when, last Tuesday, through an audio message abundantly relayed on social networks, the national party Panafricain (Pnp) called for the resumption of the marches of protest against Faure Gnassingbe's regime. How, then, can we understand such a turnaround, which seems to be

Global warming: actions weighing heavily in the balance

Once upon a time, a woman who should have been in the big book of records for having had an exponential number of lovers, hold on; these were 7.6 billion. Every day, for this woman was in the image of Valentine's Day because they all proved by small gestures or big how much she counted for them. She and her lovers lived in harmony without hindrance (...) »  What utopia! You say after reading these first lines is not it? It is true that it looks like a real fairy tale. Never stop! Like Martin Luther King, I too: "I had a dream, a dream in which the 7.6 billion inhabitants of planet Earth were eco-responsible citizens, citizens united in the fight against change climate, people who are passionately in love with the planet and who put their wellbeing before theirs ".

Ms. Adjamagbo: 'Well, shame on the prophets of misfortune'!

All predictions currently give an implosion of the Coalition of 14 opposition parties since the incidents related to the cancellation of the events scheduled this week. For Mrs. Brigitte Kafui Adjamagbo-Johnson, It's "prophecies of misery" without a future.  "The Togolese people have risen since August 19, 2017 again to complete the fight they started since the 1990s. And today we come to an important turning point. We remain mobilized, "says the Coordinator of the Coalition 14. She believes that in case" the opponent ", that is to say, the power of Faure Gnassingbe, remains resistant to change, the Coalition" intensify " his actions. But it is utopian to pretend to divide this regrouping of the opposition which disturbs the sleep to Faure Gnassingbé. "I wanted to go beyond you to the Togolese people. I want to tell them to reassure themselves. Not to worry for a moment about what's going on these days on social networks.

The 14 'Coalition' buries' the markets; the distraught PNP

The UNIR party sets up its bases in Tchamba and Kadambara in the central region. Thus, the presidential party is actively preparing for the elections and its political hegemony while the parties of the Coalition of the opposition agree with the exception of the PNP to suspend the marches, always in the logic of the dialogue which tramples. Tikpi Salifou Atchadam does not understand anything anymore and calls for the analysis of his activists.  "Indeed I tell you, we could not move any line without these great mobilizations" reveals the leader of the Pan-African National Party. Following the conclave held by the 14 opposition parties on Monday, it emerged that all parties except the PNP agreed to suspend the march and rely on the Ghanaian facilitator. who clamored at the beach: "The demonstrations are a constitutional right and no one can prevent the people from demonstrating" The militants of PNP very reassembled informed of the coalition's conclusion

Facilitator pledges 'likely imminent resumption' of talks

"We have received the message that the Ghanaian minister has come to deliver us. There is a very close perspective on the evolution of the dialogue process. I am confident that things will move next week, "said the coordinator of the Coalition of 14 opposition parties this morning.  This is what would have motivated the Coalition to suspend the protests planned for this Tuesday, on a new request from the Ghanaian facilitator, President Nana Akufo-Addo. The Ghanaian head of state would have already discussed with the ruling party last week and planned a very next resumption of dialogue "Lomé 2018" whose work has been suspended since February. Obviously, all this "dilatory" benefits to the party of Faure Gnassingbe, which quietly continues its program of political extension and its electoral projects inside the country where all political activity of the opposition remains prohibited because of supposed "missing" weapons "said Minis

Fear on Nyita village in Akoumapé canton

In Nyita, a village in the Akoumape county (Vo prefecture), Mitsoayé Kossivi Vidjin, a fallen traditional leader, is accused of intimidating, threatening and abusing in order to keep "his" throne.  The village of Nyita is going through a delicate period of its history. Having become the traditional chief of the locality in questionable conditions, Mitsoayé Kossivi Vidji loses his crown because condemned by the Supreme Court "to three years of imprisonment released from reprieve" to be the instigator of a murder. He is therefore deprived of his authority in accordance with law n ° 2007-002 of 8 January 2007 on the traditional chiefdom and status of traditional chiefs in Togo, and its implementing decree n ° 2016-028 / PR of 11 March 2016 in its articles 32, 33 and 34, say its detractors. The customary council meets and replaces it with Yao Anani, who claims to be the founding family of Nyita. But the fallen man multiplies the maneuvers to preserve his &qu

The Diaspora of Germany writes to the Coalition of 14

The Togolese in Germany, in a letter sent to the Coalition of the 14 opposition parties, reiterate the call for the uniqueness of the 14 political parties. Read the letter!  Letter from the Togolese Diaspora of Germany to the Coalition of 14 Ladies, Gentlemen, dear compatriots leaders. Since the spectacular rebound of the troubled history of our country on August 19, 2017, you have become a subject of admiration and pride for all Togolese. Through the high sense of duty and the discipline that you have imposed on yourself, you have shown for a long time, a cohesion and an image of responsible and enlightened leaders on the issues of the country. Most of you have in the past paid a heavy price to the absurd internal divisions that have gradually removed you from the goals of changing the model of society that Togolese have been calling for since October 5, 1990. Your renewed cohesion as well as your ability to speak from now on in a clear and harmonious voice have large

Dialogue: The International Community calls for 'respect of commitments'

The UN System Coordination, the European Union delegation and the embassies of Germany, the United States of America and France have just released a joint statement on the "Lomé 2018" talks between opposition whose resumption of work tramples.  "The coordination of the United Nations System, the Delegation of the European Union and the Embassies of Germany, the United States of America and France express their gratitude to the Ghanaian authorities for their commitment to the inter-Togolese political dialogue. and support their efforts, "reads the statement.

Operational from the mobile networks, these two projects will be used to denounce via SMS and calls through the free green line "Allo 1011" cases of rape and violence on children.

Succession in the Canton of Tsévié: Sprains at the origin of the division on the choice

Traditional chieftainship has become a gangrene that destroys Togolese society. Politicized until the last strata, the designation of the heads of districts, villages or townships is the subject of fierce disputes everywhere. Even the most organized royal houses are not spared either. This is the case for example of the canton of Tsévié recognized very structured and well organized until the death of Togbui Passah Yao Gozo Folly VII on November 17, 2014.  For the Throne Council, everything went well with the former Prefect Adossi Komi Sena who received the file of Passah Koffi Afeti that he sent to the Ministry of Territorial Administration. But at the arrival of the new Prefect Etse Kadevi, everything turned upside down to the point that for the first time, it was proceeded to the vote to choose Passah Agbessi Assito. Since March 1 when the decree of its recognition was taken in the Council of Ministers, the tension has risen a notch within the royal family. According to sou

70% of Togolese do not have identity documents

Since the 2015 elections, when it has been proven that only 30% of the Togolese population have a piece of identification, nothing is done visibly. The 70% are still without ID. For good reason, the costs of establishing these pieces that are not within the reach of all scholarships. And the Martin Luther King Movement (MMLK) challenges the government on this situation. Why demand so exorbitant and huge fees to citizens before acquiring identity documents in Togo? "For example to have a national identity card it takes 5000 FCFA and have this amount is difficult for the Togolese. To have a certificate of origin, you have to pay 20,000 FCFA. FCFA 17,000 officially and related costs, "said Pastor Edoh Komi, president of the MMLK. However, the Togolese Constitution in Article 32 stipulates that 'Togolese nationality is granted by right to children born to a Togolese father or mother'. And justify: "Today Togolese must normally be entitled to their identity
