Internet breakdown: A question of "national security", according to Bawara



What was only rumor was confirmed. The information leaked from last week. There was talk of a possible Internet cut in Togo on these two days, to sabotage the march of the opposition. Since yesterday night, until this hour, difficult to connect and the Togolese lambda is weaned of information. An "ingenious" idea of ​​a government minister who received favorable feedback at the meeting of Unir executives.



Invited on Victoire Fm, Gilbert Bawara, Minister of the Civil Service, says that the government has nothing to do with this abrupt cut of the Internet and even if that is the case, the idea does not come from the Unir party. "I do not believe that the government acts under the dictation of a political party even when it comes to the parliamentary majority," he suggested, referring to the proposal made by the Unir executive 'Hotel 2 February.

This cut in the Internet, says the minister, avoids several "images that circulate on social networks. And I do not think you and I want to see that. "

So who gave the order to cut the internet? And Gilbert Bawara to defend himself: "The state does not have any operational control or interference in the management of telecoms operators," but would like to point out that cutting the Internet is not a curious thing. And to illustrate: "Countries like France, Russia and all over the world are brought for reasons of national security to set up a system of control of communications".

To whom have these images been used, when TVT sacrificed a good part of its newspaper to pass the same images which, one wonders if they are real, to incriminate and arrest young people in various localities? These are the same images that Yark Damehame used to justify the barbarity of the forces of order in Sokodé.

Another point that has been stressed by an auditor is this: it is true that the internet and the 3G and cut does not work at all, what about the memories of phones? Will images be erased? By what alchemy? The connection, immediately restored, the images will circulate more beautifully.
