We stand with our brothers and sisters in Togo as they fight against a dictator who together with his father have ruled for 58 years.
Enough!
#FreeTogo#FaureMustGo
If it were your brother, would u stay silent?
Ndiangui Kinyagia is still missing . no communication
His family is crying out, but no one is listening
He’s alone because we’ve allowed it.Let’s not wait until it’s too late.
Spread this . Be the voice he doesn’t have right now.
The dictator of #Togo@FEGnassingbe has banned protests for the past 7 years. He grew so confident in his repressive apparatus after arresting and detaining over 140 activists and forcing many more into exile that he went as far as removing presidential elections from our Constitution without a referendum and appointed himself head of state under a title he invented: “President of the Council of Ministers.”
Under his custom made constitution, we no longer have presidential elections in #Togo. His current 4th term ended in February 2025 and last month on May 6th, he started a 5th term after ruling Togo for 20 years, following the 38-year reign of his father, Eyadéma Gnassingbé.
Barely a month into this sham, Togolese youth are rising against his nonsense. We are not his slaves and we will not bow to his tyranny any longer.
What makes this current wave of protests unique is that it was neither initiated nor led by opposition parties. Instead, communities are organizing in a decentralized way, with no central leadership. The regime no longer has a single point of failure to exploit.
Neighborhood by neighborhood, citizens are gathering, erecting barricades to block police trucks, and protesting. The regime is used to calling opposition leaders to negotiate its way out of crisis. But this time, politicians have been sidelined. They hold zero control over this uprising.
The youth of #Togo have decided to make the country ungovernable for Faure Gnassingbé until he leaves power. After 58 years of dictatorship by the same family, enough is enough.

Na Mkae Mkijua hivi,
You who choose not to speak against this regime, against these murderous pilferers, against these horrendous crop of leaders who will hire goons and militia to kill us as we peacefully protest;
Know this, YOU not doing Politics, DOES NOT STOP politics from doing YOU.

Was this man also carrying files protesting? See how Sakaja’s and Ruto’s goons attacked him in Nairobi CBD. The old man was robbed of his wallet and phone.. #TuesdayMAANDAMANO
Sakaja……..
Extrajudicial killings are taking place in your county, under your “leadership” and all you’ve managed to utter are hollow words and performative action .You’ve become a symbol of BETRAYAL to the very struggle that once gave you relevance. There is blood on Nairobi’s streets and silence in City Hall. That silence is complicity!!
History will remember not just what you did, but what you refused to do. And anyone aligned with you, anyone still standing beside you in the face of such injustice must be called out, by name, without hesitation.
You may sit in power today, but one day, you will answer for every life lost, every parent that buried a child, and every truth you helped suppress. Fool!!
