Faure Gnassingbe, 'a dictator', according to Loïk Le Floch-Pridgent


"I was incarcerated at the national gendarmerie (Editor's note in Lomé) and these fires were clearly not caused by the opposition, A part to the arrest of all opposition, and on the other hand to torture, "testifies the former Patron of the French oil group ELF on Rfi this morning.



To comment on his new book entitled "Carnet de Route d'un Africain" Loïk Le Floch-Pridgent was the guest of Radio France International. A little timing on the air during which the man has not dried up words about the dictatorships in Africa, but especially about his very recent past in Togo where he was imprisoned for 5 months behind the bars of the National Gendarmerie.

It was in 2013, the day after the fires in the major markets of Lomé and Kara. Loïk le Floch-Pridgent described these African regimes as "paranoid" and "dictatorial", including that of Faure Gnassingbe, since the former guarantor of French interests in Africa would have himself witnessed the tormenting torments of the opponents in the premises of the Gendarmerie National in 2013, while he himself was imprisoned there for an affair of international scam on complaint of the Emirati Abbas Yousef, a businessman.


"They did not even hide because they were torturing in the corridors near the place where I was incarcerated in the Lomé gendarmerie ... full of madness," says Loïk le Floch-Pridgent, who said: "I think this delirium is characteristic of these dictatorial regimes, and this paranoia, I experienced very badly, when I was in Togo".

Paranoia, torture, but above all corruption, the master epithets that today the former French official of the African heads of states that he will have known well like the Idriss Deby Itno of Chad , Denis Sassou Nguesso or Joseph Kabila of the two Congo. Countries where the petrodollars have not succeeded in getting the population out of poverty because of the greed of the power of the leaders who, of course, agitate the shameful "hypocrisy and the political real of France," denounced Loik.

Even if nothing of what man describes is strange, it will have the merit of corroborating many reports that deal with these tortures, whose Faure Gnassingbe regime sometimes denies existence.

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...

Togo now has its plan to combat land degradation

Land degradation is a reality in Togo. According to figures put forward by the Ministry of the Environment, each year 4.14% of the land (nationally) succumb to the phenomenon. And it is in response to the problem that the Government launched last March, the Program of definition of the national targets on neutrality in land degradation (PDC / NDT). On Thursday in Lomé, environmental experts validated a document that will serve as a blueprint for sustainable land management in Togo. This document, which estimates that 23,500 hectares of land are degraded each year in Togo between 2000 and 2010, has already identified national targets assessed on the basis of indicators such as land use, net productivity or carbon. According to the Secretary General of the Ministry of Environment and Forest Resources, Sama Boundjouw, these targets and their measures to be validated will become guidelines for any actor involved in the fight against land degradation in Togo during the next twelve...
