'We will not let Togo be at the mercy of anyone', warns Yark Damehane



There is electricity in the air. The march of the PNP planned to be held this Saturday in several cities of the country itch the power of Lomé II to the highest point. At a press conference on Thursday in Lomé, Yark Damehane, Minister of Security and Civil Protection, said that "his elements" will not hesitate to repress this peaceful march if the pre-established itinerary is maintained.



Minister Yark was very hard this morning at the joint press conference organized with the Minister of Territorial Administration, Payadowa Boukpessi.

"We will not let the kernel be formed, we will not leave Togo at the mercy of anyone, if our elements are hit by a gunshot, our elements will retaliate, Drove Colonel Yark Damehane to the media.

For him, it is inappropriate for a political party to organize marches in several cities to block National No. 1. Thus, in accordance with article 13 of the law on public demonstrations, the government proposes to Tikpi Atchadam and its militants to take other routes to hold the demonstration.

For Yark either the PNP accepts the new routes and the demonstration holds or it refuses and there will be no march.

"We know what they have in mind, but it will not happen in this country ... We are going to disperse them at the assembly point in a clean way, so that if they persist, Is not to the authority to back down, if today the government says that we let them do it and that tomorrow other parties also decide, what do we do? Had political parties before PNP ... ", added Colonel Yark.

It should be remembered that the PNP event is scheduled to take place simultaneously in Lomé, Anié, Sokodé, Bafilo and Kara this Saturday. The party wanted to demand in the streets a return to the Constitution of October 14, 1992 and the effectiveness of the right to vote of the diaspora.

Note that with this threat that hovers on the march, the PNP officials do not move. In a voice message released this afternoon, PNP National President Tchikpi Atchadam asks the Togolese people to remain mobilized. The so-called "liberation of Togo" march will indeed take place this Saturday, August 19, simultaneously, in the various cities mentioned above and outside the country.

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.
