Africa-Israel Summit: Faure Gnassingbé reassures Mahmoud Abbas on the objectives

Togo is hosting the first Africa-Israel summit in history from 16 to 20 October 2017 in Lomé. There are expected to be 30 high-level delegations in Lomé as part of this first meeting between Africa and the State of Israel.

A meeting that is not to the liking of everyone including some Muslim countries, especially Palestine. Information is the front page of several sites around the world including "The Jerusalem Post".

The Israeli information portal reports that on the sidelines of the African Union summit last July, the head of state, Faure Gnassingbé, met with Palestinian authority president Mahmoud Abbas who was in Addis -Abeba to call the African countries invited to this summit to boycott the appointment. The head of the Palestinian Authority is keen to prevent this conference from turning into a meeting in support of the Hebrew State and a problem for the Palestinian cause in Africa and the world.

According to information reported by The Jerusalem Post, the Palestinian state would be supported in its campaign by Morocco which sees in Israel, a competitor for its cravings for expansion on the African continent.

The Togolese president, also announced the site, will meet in the week of 7 August with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss the latest adjustments to the summit.

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.

This is done by experts in the act, like midwives and native doctors (in modern day, physicians carry out this operation). During circumcision, the fore skin that covers the head of the penis is cut off and the operated part is treated to heal quickly and to prevent any form of infection. Male circumcision (Ibi Ugwu) takes five to seven day to heal up. Meanwhile, some Igbos circumcis...
