Jean Kissi "Demonstrators trained by the government have introduced the ranks of opposition protestors"



The National Secretary of the Action Committee for Renewal (CAR), Jean Kissi, also spoke out today's demonstration and the repression that has taken place inside the country. Reading !



Hello Jean-Kissi. Do you think that today Togo must go to a referendum?

No no no. That is not the question we have to ask ourselves. We have been opposed to referendums ever since. Togo made a referendum and voted a 97% Constitution. So we want the return of this Constitution. The question is simple.

Are you ready to go all the way?

Obviously! Did you see that mobilization? This mobilization will not go down. They did everything to divide us in the media. They have done everything to divide us, but they will not be able any more. It's finish. If someone falls, we move on. Even if I weaken, one has to set aside and continue the struggle. It will not go back.

What message do you have to address to the Togolese who do not yet join the fight?

But everyone needs to mobilize. When there are violations of human rights, when there is persecution and you are silent, you are on the side of the wicked. Everyone has to mobilize. All the Togolese must get up. We will be on the media the next few days. Every week we have to make a demonstration until we get satisfaction.

Yesterday in Sokodé, the soldiers still used force. And there were wounded. So what is your reaction?

It is not only in Sokode. It goes on until Mango. Presently, power-trained demonstrators have introduced the ranks of opposition protestors. And they are in the process of committing a squabble. We had contacts with the minister. So, all this will weaken our determination. All this is to intimidate because fear has changed sides. Our determination can not falter. You have to know that when we met with the minister, they said that UNIR will only make one demonstration on the territory. And it was in Lomé, so it was not planned. They have not filed any information that they will make demonstrations in Mango. How is it that there are manifestations of UNIR in Mango? It's provocation. It's intimidation, but it will not stop us.

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 t...

Creation of Commons: Togo on embers / Strong tensions in Wawa and Zio

Since the new "controversial" law on decentralization has been passed by the parliamentary majority RPT / UNIR, tension is mounting in the communities. Wrong cadres (belonging to the ruling party, ed) of these localities make use of this law according to their desiderata, thus creating frustrations within the populations. When the people of Klabe-Efoukpa and Okou are at loggerheads in the Wawa prefecture, the tone increases and hardens between Mission Tové and Kovié. In the maneuvers, power brokers are mentioned.  When it unilaterally launched the process of decentralization and fanciful creation of the communes, the power blinded by an electoral vision did not see the danger coming. Despite the warnings, the regime refused to listen to reason. The government has cut down on existing communities, which in particular engenders. "The dissolution of the capital cities of the prefectures in a nebula of communes created for electoral purposes". "In addition, ...
