The serenity within the coalition of 14 political parties seems to be undermined in recent days. Originally, the call of the National Panafrican Party (Pnp) to a series of marches that should be held from yesterday Tuesday to end next Saturday, after a break on Friday. In response to the coalition's letter to this effect, the Minister of Territorial Administration replied with a No. And the discordant reactions were not long in the other parties of the coalition who openly denounce the "cavalier" approach of the party of Tikpi Atchadam, which runs counter to a fundamental principle, group discipline.  An approach that divides The approach had sown a monstrous confusion within the opposition when, last Tuesday, through an audio message abundantly relayed on social networks, the national party Panafricain (Pnp) called for the resumption of the marches of protest against Faure Gnassingbe's regime. How, then, can we understand such a turnaround, which seems to be...

All predictions currently give an implosion of the Coalition of 14 opposition parties since the incidents related to the cancellation of the events scheduled this week. For Mrs. Brigitte Kafui Adjamagbo-Johnson, It's "prophecies of misery" without a future.  "The Togolese people have risen since August 19, 2017 again to complete the fight they started since the 1990s. And today we come to an important turning point. We remain mobilized, "says the Coordinator of the Coalition 14.

"We have received the message that the Ghanaian minister has come to deliver us. There is a very close perspective on the evolution of the dialogue process. I am confident that things will move next week, "said the coordinator of the Coalition of 14 opposition parties this morning.  This is what would have motivated the Coalition to suspend the protests planned for this Tuesday, on a new request from the Ghanaian facilitator, President Nana Akufo-Addo. The Ghanaian head of state would have already discussed with the ruling party last week and planned a very next resumption of dialogue "Lomé 2018" whose work has been suspended since February. Obviously, all this "dilatory" benefits to the party of Faure Gnassingbe, which quietly continues its program of political extension and its electoral projects inside the country where all political activity of the opposition remains prohibited because of supposed "missing" weapons "said Minis...

In Nyita, a village in the Akoumape county (Vo prefecture), Mitsoayé Kossivi Vidjin, a fallen traditional leader, is accused of intimidating, threatening and abusing in order to keep "his" throne.  The village of Nyita is going through a delicate period of its history. Having become the traditional chief of the locality in questionable conditions, Mitsoayé Kossivi Vidji loses his crown because condemned by the Supreme Court "to three years of imprisonment released from reprieve" to be the instigator of a murder.

Read the letter!  Letter from the Togolese Diaspora of Germany to the Coalition of 14 Ladies, Gentlemen, dear compatriots leaders. Since the spectacular rebound of the troubled history of our country on August 19, 2017, you have become a subject of admiration and pride for all Togolese. Through the high sense of duty and the discipline that you have imposed on yourself, you have shown for a long time, a cohesion and an image of responsible and enlightened leaders on the issues of the country.

Your renewed cohesion as well as your ability to speak from now on in a clear and harmonious voice have l...

Traditional chieftainship has become a gangrene that destroys Togolese society. Politicized until the last strata, the designation of the heads of districts, villages or townships is the subject of fierce disputes everywhere. Even the most organized royal houses are not spared either.

For good reason, the costs of establishing these pieces that are not within the reach of all scholarships. And the Martin Luther King Movement (MMLK) challenges the government on this situation. Why demand so exorbitant and huge fees to citizens before acquiring identity documents in Togo? "For example to have a national identity card it takes 5000 FCFA and have this amount is difficult for the Togolese. To have a certificate of origin, you have to pay 20,000 FCFA. FCFA 17,000 officially and related costs, "said Pastor Edoh Komi, president of the MMLK. However, the Togolese Constitution in Article 32 stipulates that 'Togolese nationality is granted by right to children born to a Togolese father or mother'.
