Togo: The Togolese uprising needs support

The Togolese people are now answering and protesting their government. The life-line and prolonged stay of President Faure Gnassingbé is on the horizon. As the ruler and family dynasty lingers on. It has ruled the nation with an iron fist, and they have blocked all peaceful avenues to succession or a transition from the family of Gnassingbé. That’s why the Constitution and everything else must be altered to fit the narrative of the ruling family.

Now, the three-day demonstrations that the nation are in the middle of. As artists, activists and others are casualties. The citizens are facing police brutality, even the most peaceful ones that is shunning participation and staying indoors. The authorities and law enforcement can breach into the homes and violate people. They can throw tear-gas into homes and let them suffer. That’s how the family wants to rule indefinitely. There is no “love” lost but only more plight.

The reports of bodies in the Adakpame lagoon of Lome should be worrisome, it is a tale of old, as if the state can just depose of the bodies, it has created, and hope mother nature fixes the rest. That’s what the government is up too and willing to do. That’s who the family are and how they consider their rights to rule supreme for eternity.

Everyone should be warned and be on guard here. The tyrant is striking back and with vengeance. The family dynasty isn’t allowing the dissent and they are muting the ones who dares to lift their voices. Heck, even the ones who isn’t and whose trying to shield themselves. They are even touched too. So, who are the President and his associates thinking they are overcoming here?

The dead will be answered for, the one detained and suffering in prison too. All who has suffered and has been scorned. All of them must be addressed and the state needs to be held accountable. This injustice and impunity cannot go on forever. Even if the family and the dynasty think so. The 58 years of rule must end. They are only using force and the instruments of the state, because that’s all it has. Not like the Family or the Government has the upright support or popularity to rule indefinitely. If it did, the people wouldn’t go to the streets and risk their livelihoods doing so.

It’s reported that a total of 140 activists is detained as a result and we don’t know the total amount of fatalities, but there are bodies in the Adakpame lagoon, which shows the lethal acts of the state towards the ones that dissent. Therefore, things aren’t over just yet.

The Togolese people need the world to have its eyes on it. There is a need for support and solidarity with the people of the Republic. They need to know that their protests and demonstrations are justified. That people are behind them and want them to succeed. Because this family in power has overstayed its welcome. It is time for the Gnassingbé to leave and answer for their sins. There are plenty of lives touched, hurt and lost. Just so this one family could be the ruling one. Peace.
