Faure Gnassingbe catches up to Abuja summit

Party to host in Lomé the other 15 countries of the community economic space he has been running since June 2017, the angry street has spoiled Faure Gnassingbe's plan to host the ECOWAS summit in Lome. The simple man is already in Abuja, Nigeria, where the summit will be held.

On December 16th, the summit of ECOWAS heads of state with Morocco will be opened under the Togolese presidency as 16th member.

The crisis that has plagued his country for four months should not escape the discussions in prospect. Dialogue with his opposition struggling to start. Faure Gnassingbé has been doing the round since the beginning of the crisis, even leaving classrooms for his reception in cities in the interior of the country, just to show the world that he is a beloved president and close to the people.

But in fact, social discontent is spreading throughout the country. Teachers, clerks, civil servants and even the prison guard are increasing protests, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of Togolese who respond to calls from the opposition to protest across the country since 19 August.

It is in this context that Faure Gnassingbé, the head of high appearance, appears alongside his peers in ECOWAS. According to GDP by purchasing power, Togo comes in 12th position in the community with a PPP GDP of 10,667 CFA francs.

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.

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.
