"Leave your weapon, listen to the cries of the people": messages from protesters



Thursday at 9 o'clock in Agoè, one would think that the discouragement would have gained the camp of the opposition side Agoè. But it was only an impression, since they will see them an hour later, the demonstrators, far more numerous than yesterday with placards much more expressive with a relent against violence.



Nathanael Olympio, from the coalition of the opposition parties, confirms: "Today there are many more people than yesterday".
Under the warm sun, placards as well as songs to galvanize give another ambience to walking. Whether it is for the army, or Faure Gnassingbe there is always a message on the brandished signs.

Leave your weapon, hear the cries of the people; brother, change is also for you; No to violence, ... can one read on both sides on the placards.

Accused by the power to defend violence, demonstrators show a certain self-discipline, but the organizers do not leave their eyes, reminding them from time to time of the respect of the leaders, the vigilance of fear of infiltrate by intruders.

In no case may one make more than two (2) terms

In this tumult, each one has the name of Faure Gnassingbé and of the constitution of 1992 on the lips. In the yellow lines of the colors of Togo, they have engraved: In no case, no one can make more than two (2) mandates .

For Nathanaël Olympio, "The populations are more adherent to the struggle. The people understood that the violence of the State, is not likely to discourage them. On the contrary, it galvanizes! "

Ibi Ugwu (Male Circumcision) In Igbo Land

The act of circumcising babies in Igbo land is an ancient culture and tradition of the Igbo people which has its origin from their traditional religions. “Circumcision is the act of removing female genitalia, or a simple fold of skin (foreskin and prepuce) that covers the head of an un-erect penis”. In ancient times, the Igbos circumcise both male and female children, but as modernization set in, the circumcision or genital mutilation of Igbo female children was stopped while that of male continued till today. The circumcision of male babies (Ibi Ugwu) in Igbo land is done on the 8th day after birth. This is done by experts in the act, like midwives and native doctors (in modern day, physicians carry out this operation).

Male circumcision (Ibi Ugwu) takes five to seven day to heal up. Meanwhile, some Igbos circumcis...
