Why Faure can not "Nkurunzizer" Togo

The world witnessed helpless from 2015, to the massacres in Burundi following the decision of Pastor President Pierre Nkurunziza to seek a third term, in violation of the Arusha agreement that ended the civil war in August 2005.

At the turn of a failed coup, the former Professor of Sport is pointing and refers all those who oppose him in exile for the happiest, six feet underground for the most unfortunate.

Today, this small area of East Africa is not far from a field in ruins. Just because a former warlord decides to reign for life over his country. Does he not intend to run for a fourth term at the end of the current one?

At the onset of the current crisis in Togo, the strong methods used by the power of Faure Gnassingbé have made think for a moment to the "Nkurunzization" of Togo. Wild military repression, deployment of armed militias, forced exile of a part of the populations. By line, Togo was in the footsteps of Burundi.

Only, there are many reasons that exclude the case of Burundi in Togo.

Firstly, Togo has never experienced war so that the killings and possible massacres have less echoes. Secondly, the constitutional defiance is commonplace in East Africa to which Burundi belongs, notably Uganda by Yoweri Museveni, Eritrea of Isaias Afwerki, Djibouti of Israel Oumar Gueleh, Rwanda by Paul Kagame, as well as both Sudan and Somalia. country at war.

Clearly, Burundi is not an isolated case in East Africa. The opposite is true for Togo, which remains the only country in West Africa in which the presidential mandate remains unlimited.

Tertio, 50 years of power of one and the same biological family in the presidential chair, in a republic, the Togo of Faure Gnassingbe constitutes the only curiosity in Africa and in the world.

Quartio, technology is a formidable weapon against silent killing. The speed of light in which the images circulate has been at the origin of the strong pressure of the United States of America and France following the exactions of the militias during the demonstrations of October 18th and 19th in Togo. All things considered, to secure a presidency for life, Faure Gnassingbé can not do as Pierre Nkurunziza of Burundi.

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.

Togo now has its plan to combat land degradation

Land degradation is a reality in Togo. According to figures put forward by the Ministry of the Environment, each year 4.14% of the land (nationally) succumb to the phenomenon. 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. This document, which estimates that 23,500 hectares of land are degraded each year in Togo between 2000 and 2010, has already identified national targets assessed on the basis of indicators such as land use, net productivity or carbon. According to the Secretary General of the Ministry of Environment and Forest Resources, Sama Boundjouw, these targets and their measures to be validated will become guidelines for any actor involved in the fight against land degradation in Togo during the next twelve...
