Brigitte Adjamagbo-Johnson: "The true peace supposes that one does not kill you"




The women of the G14 will be in the street this Saturday, January 20 to also express their desire for change. Brigitte Kafui Adjamagbo-Johnson confided in an interview. Reading !


 Why a women's march?

We want to say that we do not agree with this situation. We want to say that we are one with the Togolese people. We, Togolese women also want the change that the people demand. This is a warning that we want to give to the regime. We will be black and add the colors of our flag, a symbol that belongs to us all and not to a minority that has repressed us for years and took the economy hostage. This is a warning that Togolese women want to launch.

Saturday, it will be our turn. We also want to express that this situation can not last. It can not last because we do not have enough to feed our children, we do not have anything to heal. Women go to the market and sell nothing because Togolese do not have the minimum purchasing power to keep buying what they need. It is not normal. We mean enough and enough. Let the people be given the constitution they demand and this country change. We will do this demonstration the day after the fifty-one (51) years of this regime.

Since 1967, this regime is there. Today, he is fifty-one (51) years old. We want to tell them that it can not continue. Enough is enough. We will never stop claiming until we get satisfaction. The country does not belong or is owned by anyone.

What will be the routes of this walk?

We have three (03) starting points. A first starting point will be in front of the Catholic Church of Adidogomé, a second at the Total-Totsi intersection, the third starting point is Déckon. We intend to converge everything on the place of Grand Plateau College in Cassablanca.

What message will you address to your opponents of power who are calling you enemies of the nation?

We do not want a drop of blood in this country. We want change, we want peace. We women, we are peace-bearers. Precisely, it is because we want this true peace that we have been on the street for some time. True peace means that we do not kill you, that we do not beat you, that you have the means to live decently, that you can enjoy your basic human rights. Which is not the case. We mean enough.

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. The first born of the twins is called Táíwò, a shortened form of Tò-aiyé-wò (taste the world) while the last born of the t...

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...
