Togo: Call for Integrity Over Power Longevity

Dans une tribune engagée, le journaliste togolais Rodrigue Ahégo critique avec vigueur la tendance à mesurer le succès politique uniquement à la durée passée au pouvoir. Il y voit une dérive profonde de la vie publique, marquée par une quête de longévité dépourvue de sens et de valeurs. S’appuyant sur une réflexion attribuée à Abraham Lincoln, il rappelle que l’essentiel ne réside pas dans la quantité d’années vécues, mais dans leur contenu. Dans ce cadre, il dénonce une scène politique togolaise dominée, selon lui, par des logiques de conservation du pouvoir plutôt que par une véritable volonté de servir le bien commun. L’auteur évoque une crise morale où les institutions et les pratiques sociales seraient fragilisées par des comportements opportunistes. Il estime que la longévité politique est devenue une stratégie de maintien, au détriment de l’éthique et de la responsabilité. […]

Traoré Rejects Democracy in Burkina Faso

Burkina Faso’s military leader, Ibrahim Traoré, has openly criticized democracy, saying the system “kills” and should be abandoned by the country. In an interview broadcast on state television, the 38-year-old leader argued that democracy is not suited to Burkina Faso or much of Africa. “People need to forget about the issue of democracy. Democracy is not for us,” he stated, without outlining a clear alternative model. Traoré, who took power in a 2022 coup, had initially promised a return to civilian rule by July 2024. However, the military government later extended its transition period by five years. In January, authorities also suspended all political parties, describing the move as part of efforts to rebuild the state. To support his argument, Traoré pointed to Libya, suggesting that attempts to impose democracy there led to instability and conflict. He claimed that Western-backed […]

Kwankwaso’s Defection To ADC: APC A Threat To Democracy – Mark

National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress, David Mark, has described Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso’s defection to the ADC as a turning point for Nigeria’s democracy. He spoke in Abuja as the former Kano State governor was formally received into the party ahead of the 2027 general elections. Mark said Kwankwaso’s move was more than a simple change of platform. He framed it as a deliberate response to Nigerians’ calls for a cohesive opposition capable of safeguarding democratic values and providing a credible alternative to the ruling All Progressives Congress. The former Senate President accused the APC of posing the greatest threat to multiparty democracy in Nigeria. He warned that attempts to weaken opposition parties, shrink political space and concentrate power in one party were dangerous for the country’s future. According to Mark, the ADC is positioning itself as a rallying […]

Urgent Call for Justice in Togo

The people of Togo have endured over six decades under a regime passed from father to son, where liberty is stifled and dissent punished. For too long, their voices have been silenced, their elections manipulated, and their basic rights denied. Yet the world has often remained silent, even as similar crises elsewhere have drawn swift international intervention. The principle of equity demands that what is deemed just in one nation should apply equally in another. The world has acted in Kosovo, Libya, and against regimes in Russia, North Korea, and Iran. Why, then, should Togo’s suffering be overlooked? To ignore it is to undermine the very foundations of international law and the ideals enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Human dignity knows no borders, and those endowed with power bear a responsibility to protect it everywhere. Every day […]

Air Chief warns coup plotters will face full force of law

Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Aneke, says any member of the Armed Forces found involved in plans to overthrow Nigeria’s democratic government will face the full wrath of the law. He spoke at a strategic meeting with Air Officers Commanding and Unit Commanders at Nigerian Air Force Headquarters in Abuja to mark his first 100 days in office.​ Aneke described recent revelations about an alleged coup plot against President Bola Tinubu’s administration as shameful, shocking and completely unacceptable. He stressed that the Nigerian Air Force remains firmly loyal to the Constitution and the democratically elected government.​ He reminded senior officers of their duty to uphold unity, cohesion and discipline within the ranks, especially as the country moves towards another election cycle. He said the military’s role is to support civil authorities and protect democratic processes without taking […]

Obi leads NASS protest over real time result transmission

Former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi on Monday led a protest at the National Assembly demanding the restoration of real time electronic transmission of election results in the Electoral Act Amendment Bill.​ The protest, tagged Occupy the National Assembly, drew hundreds of members of the Obidient Movement and civil society groups, who described the removal of the phrase real time as a setback for electoral transparency ahead of the 2027 general elections.​ The Senate had recently passed the Electoral Act 2022 Repeal and Reenactment Amendment Bill 2026, but critics faulted the decision to delete real time from sections on electronic transmission of results. They argued that this change could weaken safeguards against vote manipulation.​ Lawmakers have insisted that electronic transmission of results remains in the law, but protesters said removing the real time clause could allow post election interference […]

Gen Musa: How coup attempt was foiled at planning stage

Defence Minister General Christopher Musa has revealed how Nigerian security agencies foiled a planned coup at the “planning stage”, describing the plotters as a disgruntled group led by a colonel who failed promotion to brigadier general.​ Speaking on Channels Television, Musa said the officer, angered by his failure to meet promotion requirements, began mobilising other aggrieved elements within the Armed Forces, but joint monitoring by the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA), National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Department of State Services (DSS) and other security outfits exposed the plot early. He explained that this was why the military initially denied rumours of a coup last October, insisting investigators needed time to identify the real conspirators and avoid arresting innocent officers.​ The Defence Headquarters has now confirmed that investigations indicted 16 officers who will face court martial, though Musa declined to name the mastermind […]
