Actualisation des textes sur la protection du patrimoine culturel : une nouvelle étape franchie

Au Togo, un nouveau tournant a été atteint dans la mise à jour des lois sur la protection et la promotion du patrimoine culturel. La commission en charge de l'élaboration de l’avant-projet de loi a finalisé un document de 97 articles, désormais soumis à validation depuis le 10 avril 2025. Le texte révisé redéfinit les bases juridiques pour la sauvegarde des biens culturels, en précisant les processus de classification, de déclassement, ainsi que les mécanismes de préservation du patrimoine immatériel. Cette révision intervient après la loi de 1990, qui ne prenait pas en compte des évolutions récentes, comme la reconnaissance des patrimoines subaquatiques et des diverses expressions culturelles. L’initiative gouvernementale vise à répondre aux défis contemporains en matière de conservation. L’avant-projet propose également un cadre pour le financement des actions de préservation et de promotion du patrimoine, en plus de […]

Trump exempts smartphones and computers from new tariffs

In a notice issued by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the agency confirmed that several electronic goods—most notably smartphones and semiconductors—will now be excluded from the 10% global tariff imposed by former President Donald Trump, as well as the steep China-specific import duties. This marks the first major relief from Trump-era tariffs on Chinese goods, with some trade analysts calling it a “game-changing scenario.” The move follows increasing pressure from U.S. tech giants warning that production costs—and ultimately consumer prices—could surge due to the tariffs, as much of their manufacturing is based in China. While en route to Miami on Saturday, Trump told reporters he would share more details on the exemptions early next week. The tariff exclusions, retroactively effective from April 5, also cover a range of other electronics and components, such as memory cards, solar cells, and integrated […]

NASASU Condemns Political Interference in National Service Authority Operations

In a statement dated April 11, 2025, and signed by NASASU Chairman Ayirebi Adubofour, the National Service Staff Union (NASASU) raised concerns about increasing political interference in the National Service Authority’s (NSA) operations—especially when it comes to hiring and staff transfers. The Union said this kind of interference weakens democratic values, damages public trust, and threatens the credibility of state institutions. “We strongly condemn the actions of political party supporters trying to take control of the National Service Authority. It goes against democracy and damages the trust and fairness of our national systems,” the statement said. NASASU emphasized that all hiring and staff movement must follow the National Service Authority Act 2024 (Act 1119), the Public Services Commission Act 1994 (Act 482), and Article 195 of the 1992 Constitution. They urged young people in the Western Region, where reports of […]

U.S. Federal Court Compels FBI, Anti-Drug Agency to Disclose President Tinubu’s Investigative Records in Groundbreaking Transparency Order

In a landmark decision with far-reaching implications, Judge Beryl Howell of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia has issued a compelling order requiring the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to release all records pertaining to investigations involving Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The 32-page ruling, delivered on Tuesday, represents a significant victory for government transparency advocates and could potentially reshape public understanding of the Nigerian leader's controversial past in the United States. The court's decision stems from a persistent legal battle waged by American transparency activist Aaron Greenspan, founder of PlainSite, a nonprofit organization dedicated to government accountability. Greenspan had filed multiple Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests seeking documentation related to: Tinubu's 1993 forfeiture of $460,000 to the U.S. government Any investigations into alleged narcotics trafficking activities Financial transactions involving Tinubu […]
