In the shadow of a wavering power

Nothing goes for the power that governs for 50 years Togo. Since August 19, 2017, the wind is bad for Faure Gnassingbé who clings to his declining power. In its excitement, the fiftieth dynasty wobbles under the hurricane unleashed through the streets of Lome and other cities in the interior. To speak of the decline of the political system embodied by the Gnassingbé family in Togo is not an abuse of language. There are many indicators that show that the regime is weakened to what it considers its strongholds.



In Lomé, neighborhoods considered as his fiefs like Agoé, escape him. The far north is no longer under his control. Obviously, the northern regions are no longer their preserve. The apocalyptic situation in the country has changed the situation. The party in power is vomited. The virulent disputes have won even the most remote hamlets. This rejection is accentuated by the state of siege imposed on people forced to flee their homes or take refuge in the bush to escape the punitive expeditions organized by the police and defense forces backed by the militias sponsored by the authorities.

Further north, in Sokodé, Bafilo, Mango and Dapaong, people responded to calls for demonstrations by the opposition coalition. At each call, they go out massively to express their thirst for alternation in power. Unfortunately, they pay for it with their lives. Because the army made muscular raids in these areas and repressed them savagely. The demonstrations were also organized in Kara, Faure Gnassingbé's home region. Although in this city, after arrests of members of the PNP, demonstrations are rare, the power is disputed. The regionalist, tribalist and religious arguments from which he holds his survival no longer convince. With the Gnassingbe father and son, the electoral division is made according to regionalist criteria. In its electoral division,

But with the arrival of Tikpi Atchadam on the Togolese political scene, the trend will no longer be the same. Since the opposition is gaining ground in the north while the ruling party is losing its so-called gains. Is this the end of a system that for a long time has exploited poor populations for the purpose of conserving power? What is certain, nothing will be as before. The peoples of the north, who are languishing in misery, have finally torn open the veil of subjugation and submission which the fiftieth regime has covered.

Media and diplomatic lobbying led by the power henchmen suffered setbacks. On the international level, the situation does not seem comfortable for the tenant of the Palace of the Marina. Paris and especially Washington, after denouncing and strongly condemning the use of brute force and the exactions of the "jungulars" of power, warn Lomé. In the subregion, Faure Gnassingbé loses support. Beyond the smiles in the corner posted, it comes back to us that behind the scenes, it is simply asked to shorten his reign for life in 2020. Except Alpha Conde of Guinea, President in office of the AU which finds in him a collistier. And rightly so: he too wants to make a lease for life on power or failing to pass his son.

Political alternation in the Member States is inevitable. It is a guarantee of political stability and economic prosperity for ECOWAS. The cancellation of the planned regional conferences in Togo remains a sign of Lomé's isolation. With the intensification of the struggle of the Togolese people and their diaspora across Africa, Europe, Asia and America, "the whole world has its own opinion on the governance that has been going on in our country since 1963. Said TikpiAtchadam, who believes that the struggle of the Togolese is that of the African youth. "I think that the" Back to the Sea "operation, which is for the African youth to take a stand for the whole continent, back to the sea and facing inwards to destroy the last bastions of the dictatorship and lay the foundations of a dignified and respected Africa, can start with Togo. The African youth is demonstrating, today during the struggle for the liberation of Togo from the fiftieth dictatorship, "he added. Does power see the beginning of its end? "The times we live are not easy," admitted Faure Gnassingbé. But with the warmer days ahead on November 7th and 9th, Eyadema's offspring must not be comforted. He is back to the wall. the offspring of Eyadema should not be comforted. He is back to the wall. the offspring of Eyadema should not be comforted. He is back to the wall.

In the aftermath of the injunctions of Macron and Trump, the embarrassed government releases a bogus statement that reveals the panic on board. Today, the lion in the lambskin leaves the opposition to walk, he who brandished the prohibition of walks on working days and working days. All this would be just the deception served by the power that yesterday was the apology for the war. What is asked of him is "to listen to the people" who asks him to leave.
