While compatriots who were ill treated, as in the time of the slave trade, work in precarious conditions, find themselves with members of their bodies amputated or die in the factories of Wacem which brew billions of CFA francs in Togo outside Its rails create a real hell for the populations who run in all directions to make ends meet.
At the crossing of Djidjole, Atikoumé and Adidogome, the junction between the road and the rails is the scene of several accidents. There is no week or day when a cautious motorcycle driver, forced to make a diagonal crossing of the rails, finds himself on the ground. How many of them are not injured, evacuated urgently to a health center?
Even sources speak of dead men. Not because the train was the origin, but because the dangerous rails of Wacem are badly laid. For a long time, the alarm bell was fired, but nothing is done to limit the break. Economic interest is more important than human security. With the permission of the government, Wacem (a limestone, clinker and cement company in Togo with its subsidiary Togo rails specializing in rail, Steel and iron) built these rails to transport its minerals from Togo to Ghana.
In this period of rain, when the roads are in places slippery, the frequency of accidents in this place which continues to make dozens of wounded among the population worries and calls.
Brother "L'Indépendant Express", on the advice of a technician, believes in one of his publications that "traffic on this route does not authorize such a project and if crossing the rails it had to There should be, it should be perpendicular to the road and not skewed. This is what is at the origin of the cascade of accidents ... ". "Wacem Togo Rails has everything to meet the professional standards of this site by simply building a bridge to get the rails under the road ... but they did not want to make cement and Iron, materials needed for this work ".
Quoted in several scandals, the most recent of which is that of the Panama Papers against the background of the revelations of tax evasion, this Indian company has no limit in its contempt. Whether it is in Tabligbo where its factories are located or elsewhere in Lomé, it does some damage. And there is no one to reframe it in its drifts. Several high-ranking in the seraglio of power hold shares in this society that practices tax evasion, disregarding the dignity of the poor Togolese.
