The diaspora in the USA remained in solidarity with the protest of Saturday January 13 in the country



Several movements of the Togolese diaspora in the USA commemorated January 13, the date of the assassination of the democratically elected president Sylvanus Olympio, the father of the struggle for independence of the country. An assassination claimed by Etienne Gnassingbé Eyadéma who, even dead, continues with the help of his son to roll Togo still in the flour, according to the protesters.


 Far from the land of the ancestors, the Togolese of the United States have been keen to contribute by their mobilizations, to "reveal the failure of the governance of Faure Gnassingbé" to the face of the world, in the words of the organizers.

Their message on placards marched in front of two great American authorities: the parliament and the American executive. If the power of Faure Gnassingbe dresses the disputes in Lomé by this history of terrorism, it is up to the diaspora to support the reality, that of a people disappointed by a family for more than 50 years, who still does not want to let go of ballast, support the organizers.

Protesters in the US this Saturday, January 13, have left the White House, Capitol.

Since the beginning of the disputes, the ruling party that organizes counter-demonstrations, can not mobilize in the diaspora. It was only in Ivory Coast that a party rally went unnoticed.

According to an opposition leader, this situation is proof that the party of Faure Gnassingbé is vomited is that even in the country, the mobilizations are the fruit of the purchases of consciences, so much the populations are hungry that for small sums, the young people allied with the demonstrations of the ruling party.

On the opposition side, there are constant movements in Germany, France, the USA, Norway, Belgium, Korea, Dakar and even in Ghana, where the police and the judiciary do not stop intimidating the demonstrators with arrests.

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...
