In the space of three months, the Head of State Faure Gnassingbé has lined up a series of raids on the ground. Who to go to the left or right in the name of his social mandate, who to attend the funeral of the mother of the Ashanti King in Ghana. While the first two years of his term called "Social" were less agitated socially. These sudden activities Faure Gnassingbé undoubtedly take a political scheme to cling to power, while his regime is shaken by disputes since August 19, 2017.
In an article entitled "In the end of the crisis: the resuscitated social mandate express", we analyzed that during the first two years of the third term, the Head of State did not keep his campaign promise. made in 2015. Social projects are counted on the fingertips. Worse, some decisions run counter to the promises made by the Togolese Chief Executive.
So, one wondered if the President of the Republic has forgotten his promise. "After his reelection at the head of the country, the President of the Republic Faure seemed to forget his campaign promises. Indeed, since the beginning of his third term, the man of 2005 has rarely made raids on the ground to see, personally, the progress of projects launched or to meet the people. These populations, the majority of whom are languishing in rampant poverty, are losing some, even their dignity. More importantly, prices of staple goods have risen, especially after rising fuel prices. The demonstrations following this latest increase in fuel prices will have one fatality and several wounded in Lome, "wrote us, before pointing out that "Faure Gnassingbé has talked with his fellow citizens in recent weeks, more than he has done in the last two years." This is the observation.
But, it must be said that at this moment when the protest against his regime is not weakening, "the son of the Nation" is also determined to do everything to preserve his power. To this end, even "small events" now have a presidential connotation. For example, inaugurated the construction of a school, the renovation of a market or assisting a grieving family.
Obviously, Faure Gnassingbé is ready to do anything to preserve his "most dear property", the presidential chair, bequeathed to him by his late father. First, it was at the inauguration of a small cinema, CanalOlympia, offered by the Bolloré group that the Head of State came in last November. Among the Eastern neighbors, it is the Minister of Culture that President Talon has found it useful to send for the same room, same model offered by the same partner. Normal, so much the work is so modest that it is just the civility that can explain the displacement of a governmental authority to this president went to buy bread at the market of Niamtougou. The video broadcast has caused as much delirium as when the man of 2005 declared last January, in Bamako in front of the camera of this French journalist he saw no connection between the limitation of the mandate and the fiftieth regime he presides. Last week at the funeral of the Queen Mother of Ashanti in Ghana, the Togolese discovered their president. A singularity too much in the sense that one wonders how these funerals concern the Togolese less Faure effect. A few days later, the Togolese were surprised to see their Gnassingbe, historically only institutionally. Already, the man "faure" Togolese shone by his presence among the first ladies of the sub-region at their forum held last October in Niamey. it was at the funeral of the queen mother of the Ashanti in Ghana that the Togolese discovered their president.

"The great men call shame, the loss and not the one to deceive to win," writes Machiavelli, in his work The Prince. Because, whatever the means employed, it is success or purpose that counts. Today, the purpose of Faure Gnassingbe remains to retain power first until 2020 and see 2025 and 2030. And for that, no matter the means, the "Prince" is ready! But it must be said that the few social projects can not erase years of misery that have plunged the majority of our fellow citizens into abyss and despair.
