9 years ago Atsutsè Agbobli disappeared 'mysteriously'



On August 15, 2008, the body of the historian, a political scientist, a journalist and above all an opponent of the regime in power, president of the National Movement for Development (MODENA), was found bloodied and lifeless at Lomé beach. Nine years later, the exact circumstances of his death remain unclear.



What happened exactly so that the lifeless body of Atsustè Agbobli, a fierce opponent of the Togolese regime is found at the beach of Lomé? This question, nine years ago that many continue to ask, without having a clear answer despite the investigation opened by the Togolese authorities.

Still, two theses confront each other. The one defended by the power in place concluded a suicide by drowning after taking "substances harmful to the health in order to commit suicide". Then emerges another, death by "drug intoxication," according to the report of the autopsy, sponsored by the then Public Prosecutor.

The second comes from the family of the disappeared, especially his children. The latter do not believe in a voluntary death at all, but rather speak of assassination. Indeed, they justify, on the eve of the death of their father, the latter was threatened by "groupuscules" close to the power. He held highly sensitive information and his detractors used the strong method to silence him definitely, other observers believe.

It is in this capharnaüm, the former Minister of Communication (1994-1996) was taken to his last residence in September 2008 in his village in Adéta, 120 km from Lome, the capital.

And until today, no one knows, except the alleged sponsors and their nervis, how the former chronicler of Jeune Afrique died.

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 twins is called Kéhìndé which literally means “the last to come”. Contrary to the popular belief that Taiwo, being the first born of the twins, is old

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
