Nigerian Military Points to Foreign Herders in Farmer-Herder Violence The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has revealed that foreign herders exploiting Nigeria’s porous borders are responsible for escalating attacks on farming communities in Benue, Plateau, and neighboring states.

Le CPP défend Savi de Tové et assume une opposition institutionnelle

La Convergence patriotique panafricaine (CPP), formation politique dont est issu Jean-Lucien Savi de Tové, nouveau président de la République togolaise, est sortie de son silence pour répondre aux critiques visant son leader, parfois qualifié de « faux opposant ». Dans une déclaration publique, Adrien Béléki Akouété, président du CPP, a rejeté ces accusations qu’il juge infondées et dépassées. « Un parti d’opposition, ce n’est pas celui qui est constamment dans la rue à dire non à tout », a-t-il souligné. « C’est celui qui porte la voix de ceux qui ne sont pas dans la majorité, et pour cela, il faut être dans les institutions. » Le CPP revendique une ligne politique basée sur le dialogue et la recherche de compromis, rompant avec une opposition qu’il qualifie de stérile et enfermée dans une posture de contestation permanente. « Nous avons […]

Préférence nationale, éducation, BTP : les priorités économiques selon Innocent Kagbara

Alors que le Togo attend la formation du nouveau gouvernement sous la direction du président du Conseil, Faure Gnassingbé, les partis politiques multiplient les propositions. À travers une déclaration publique, Innocent Kagbara, président du Parti démocratique panafricain (PDP), a clairement défini ses priorités : économie nationale, réformes éducatives et infrastructures. Selon lui, après des efforts visibles dans l’amélioration du climat des affaires, il est temps de passer à l’étape suivante : soutenir la création d’entreprises, favoriser les start-ups locales et faire émerger de vrais champions économiques togolais. Kagbara plaide pour une loi de préférence nationale, encourageant l’attribution des marchés publics aux entreprises locales. Il s’inspire du modèle ghanéen, où la gestion des mines d’or est désormais assurée par une société nationale, imposant un passage obligé aux multinationales. « Si nous voulons créer nos propres champions, il faut arrêter de privilégier […]
