A special police against those who harm the name of religion



Difficult to reconcile the exercise of religious freedoms and the peace of citizens in a secular state. In Togo, they abound in these religions which, with the untimely exercises of their practices, severely affect the social life. At the Ministry of Security and Civil Protection, a cults police was thought to bring order to the exercise of religious freedoms.


 If it is not justice, the police station of any corner of Togo can testify to the plethora of complaints related to the noise nuisance of a neighborhood muezzin, a church, ministries or a sect philosophical in the corner, religious obediences without exception whose officials hold programs of worship to end the lives of local residents.

And that's not all, other unscrupulous individuals use religious freedom to introduce precepts and practices that severely undermine human dignity, with harmful impacts on life and social cohesion.

Who has not seen these charlatans turn into institutions of micro finance, healers, in short dressed in skin doctor of all the socio-economic evils, a pipe all found to scam and disillusion more often ignorant populations.

The police of the cults will have the responsibility to track down, apprehend and translate all these dark entities before the law. It will operate under the responsibility of the Directorate of Cults, currently managed by Squadron Leader Béléi Bédiani.

"It is important to note that the initiative shows the greater willingness of the authorities to find a panacea to the problem related to the exercise of religious freedom in a secular state that is ours" reveals PA-l'Union, citing a government source

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. But sometimes, the circumstance of a child’s birth will automatically give the child a name. This name is known as ‘orúko àmútọ̀runwá’ (pre-destined or generic name) in Yorubaland. The most common generic names (orúko àmútọ̀runwá) in Yoruba land are ‘Taiwo‘ and ‘Kehinde‘ (altogether known as Ìbejì) which are given to twins.

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...
