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.

Across the country, daily life reflects a deep sense of fatigue and disillusionment. Markets remain lively, yet the optimism that once defined them has faded. Conversations among citizens increasingly reveal frustration over the widening gap between official promises and lived realities. For many, each new day brings not hope, but a reminder of unmet expectations and limited prospects for progress. Young people are bearing the brunt of this situation. Education, traditionally seen […]
