Jean-Pierre Fabre: "Faure Gnassingbé is not qualified to be President-in-Office of ECOWAS"

The work of the 51st Ordinary Session of Heads of State and Government of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) opened yesterday in Monrovia, Liberia. According to information, Faure Gnassingbe will be appointed during this session by his peers as the current president of the subregional institution.

Already, this appointment at the head of this institution, which in its protocol on democracy and good governance, asks the heads of state of member countries to do only two terms, is not seen by many observers. Since Faure Gnassingbé refused to sign this protocol, he himself did not obviously fit in with this vision.

This is what leads the leader of the Togolese opposition, Jean-Pierre Fabre, to criticize the taking of the presidency in office of ECOWAS by the Togolese head of state.

"Mr Faure Gnassingbe is not qualified to be the current President of ECOWAS because of his attitude contrary to the ECOWAS protocol on democracy and good governance in Africa, because of his refusal to implement reforms in his Country, "said the president of the National Alliance for Change (ANC).

He acknowledged that neither he nor the Togolese people can prevent this appointment. "Unfortunately, we can not prevent them, since we do not ask for our opinion before making this appointment. It is the heads of state that do it, "he said.

Jean-Pierre, however, is addressing a request to the ECOWAS heads of state: "I ask them to force the reforms in Togo (Editor's note, Faure Gnassingbe). Because the designation of someone who endangers peace in the region as president, is not normal. "

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.

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...
