Faure Gnassingbe to head ECOWAS, ANC sees danger

"The appointment at the head of the Community, of a Head of State, customary of all kinds of force and, moreover, refractory to any political and electoral reform to favor the promotion of such values, is a danger for the pursuit Of the efforts of democratization of the member countries and risks to discredit the whole of the Community ".

This is what the National Alliance for Change (ANC), the majority party of the Togolese opposition, wrote. The political party of Jean-Pierre Fabre is afraid that Togolese head of state Faure Gnassingbé will become president of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) And responded in a statement signed by its first vice-president, Patrick Lawson.

For the ANC if Mr Gnassingbe is designated as the current president of the community, democratic advances on the community's agenda will receive a blow. The political formation explains in his document that Faure Gnassingbe is the only head of state of the fifteen (15) to reluctant limitation of the presidential mandate.

The party of the Leader of the Togolese opposition considers that the construction of an ECOWAS of the peoples, so dear to the States of our subregion, requires that the presidency in office of the Community be entrusted to Heads of State Elected officials who provide determined and resolute leadership in the core values of democracy, the rule of law and good governance. .

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.

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.
