CODITOGO Communiqué on the interpellation of the Vice-Dean of the University of Lomé




PRESS RELEASE CODITOGO
Washington DC, March 13, 2018

N.Ref. C1803 / 001



It is with consternation and indignation that CODITOGO follows the events that take place in the Department of Sciences and Health of the University of Lomé.

The interpellation of the Vice-Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy of the University of Lomé, Professor Majesté Wateba Ihou, for an allegation of marks falsely granted to some students, the police harassment exercised on Professor Ekoue David Dosseh who was summoned to the SRI (Intelligence and Investigation Services) repeatedly without the reason for the summons being clearly served on him by the gendarmes, the arbitrary detention of Professor Dosseh's son, Yann Dosseh, a medical student, and finally the arrest of other students for undeclared reasons, indicate the desire of the Togolese Government to institutionalize university institutions.

The University of Lome has internal crisis resolution mechanisms related to notes, and these can be activated at any time to solve this problem. Deliberately choosing not to do so illustrates the unacknowledged objective of the Togolese military-civilian regime of beheading the Togo Standing Front, which Professor David Dosseh is primarily responsible for.

CODITOGO denounces these retrograde practices and calls on the Togolese people, standing and determined, to be vigilant.

CODITOGO condemns the police harassment of Togolese civil society officials.

CODITOGO is pleased that popular pressure has finally led to the release of those arrested in this grotesque montage. It calls on the entire Togolese Diaspora around the world to mobilize to counter any attempt to subordinate and subjugate civil society organizations by the Togolese autocratic regime.

The popular struggle is invincible.

For CODITOGO,

Pierre Ekue Gamessou Kpodar

General Coordinator

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 t...

Creation of Commons: Togo on embers / Strong tensions in Wawa and Zio

Since the new "controversial" law on decentralization has been passed by the parliamentary majority RPT / UNIR, tension is mounting in the communities. Wrong cadres (belonging to the ruling party, ed) of these localities make use of this law according to their desiderata, thus creating frustrations within the populations. When the people of Klabe-Efoukpa and Okou are at loggerheads in the Wawa prefecture, the tone increases and hardens between Mission Tové and Kovié. In the maneuvers, power brokers are mentioned.  When it unilaterally launched the process of decentralization and fanciful creation of the communes, the power blinded by an electoral vision did not see the danger coming. Despite the warnings, the regime refused to listen to reason. The government has cut down on existing communities, which in particular engenders. "The dissolution of the capital cities of the prefectures in a nebula of communes created for electoral purposes". "In addition, ...
