The war in Liberia and Sierra Leone cost Nigeria over 10 billion dollars with the deployment of over 15,000 troops and aid workers. At the end of the war #Nigeria was still the largest African Donor to AID the reconstruction of both countries #RespectNigeria
The advantage of those who live in countries with functioning state institutions is that they can take action against injustice with minimal risk. They can voice their disagreement without fear of retribution. Under dictatorships, you first have to fight for the right to say “No”
#Togo will soon be hosting regional heads of states for a major high-level summit. How does Pres. Gnassingbe show his democratic credentials to visiting guests? He bans public demonstrations. Again. https://t.co/lO4vCqrnHP
The government of dictator @FEGnassingbe had the gut to issue a communique banning all gatherings this coming week because they are hosting an ECOWAS-CEMAC meeting. Like really? Where do you people buy your audacity to violate the constitution from? #Togodebout#Fauremustgo
#Peupledebout#Togodebout : "Tant que nous sommes dans notre bon droit, dans le cadre de la loi, en accord avec notre morale et la justice, mourrons pour ce en quoi nous croyons".
The social class we are born in are not of our own doing. And research shows that over 90% of people die in the social class they are born in. So the very few of you out there who were lucky to escape poverty at birth, keep your head cool because it was not merit based.
I don’t understand why people do not ask the oppressor to moderate their oppression but tend to ask the oppressed to moderate their reaction to the oppression. Don’t ask the victims to accommodate their abusers with a mild reaction.
12 of the political prisoners that were arrested during protest in northern town of #Togo#Mango have been released. They were sentenced to severe terms ranging from 18 months to 5 years. Opposition has demanded the release of all political prisoners before continuing the talks .
Telling people they should accept living under a dictatorship because they seem to have some economic comfort is like telling a victim of domestic violence to stay because the abuser provides food, housing and clothing. You don’t ask people to trade their dignity for “wealth”
Isn’t it time for #ImpeachTrump to trend? If this gets over 1,000 retweets in the next hour, we will go full force with it. Like we did with #TreasonSummit 🇺🇸
@rollcall There is no doubt in my mind, were this an Obama / Putin summit and the erstwhile President O said what the orange cartoon-character said today, believing Putin over America's IC, Jordan, Gowdy, loon Gomert and co. would've drafted articles of impeachment by now....
@rdussey What conflict? US border conflict or a conflict in Togo? If it's about the US border conflict and Trump bipolar decisions, well all we can say is: f*ck racist Trump. In the meantime, let us focus on Togo, Monsieur le Ministre! We are Togolais!✌
Peace, justice, equality all come to leadership. A new leadership in #Ethiopia ended decades of conflicts with #Eritrea. It was that simple! If our leaders want us to leave in peace, they will do the necessary. All the other countries fighting one other in #Africa, take notes.
3 Togolese police and military officers have committed suicide the past couple weeks raising alerts on the mental health of men in uniform. #Togodebout#Fauremustgo
After giving a talk on human rights in Eritrea at the African Commission in 2016, the official representatives from the Eritrean government told me that the second the war with Ethiopia ends, my uncle and his colleagues would be released. Where are they?
In #France , the right wing for so many years humiliates and denigrates black people. They say and I quote “ we cannot welcome all the misery of the world” referring to #African immigrants. Today, the children of these miserable immigrants are lifting your nation up. #russia2018
