  • Commission on Togo Election Violence Blames Government, Others
    Page 1 FOCUS - 37 of 69 DOCUMENTS BBC Monitoring Africa - Political Supplied by BBC Worldwide Monitoring November 11, 2005 Friday Commission on Togo election violence blames government, others LENGTH: 628 words Text of report by Radio Togo on 11 November [Presenter] The special independent national investigation commission tasked with carrying out investigations into the violence before, during and after the 24 April 2005 presidential election released its report yesterday [10 Novem- ber]. It was during a news conference held at Hotel Corinthia 2 Fevrier in Lome. Our correspondent Koffi Egnonam Zansou files the report. [Zansou] The 73-page report revealed that 154 people died while 654 others were injured. The material loss was es- timated at 3,827,833,828 CFA francs [approximately 7m dollars]. To collect the information, the commission said it criss-crossed the 34 prefecture and sub-prefecture capitals of Togo and heard over 1,800 people. The chairman of the commission, Lawyer Joseph Koffi Koffigoh, gives us the distribution of the dead persons by region and political affiliation. [Koffigoh] The acts of violence and vandalism which occurred in Togo before, during and after the 24 April 2005 presidential election brought about 154 dead who are distributed as follows: 88 in the Maritime Region. This is equiva- lent to 57.14 per cent; 64 in the Plateau Region. This is equivalent to 41.55 per cent; two in the Central Region. On the political affiliation one notes that 88 per cent of the dead persons did not have any political affiliation, ac- cording to the statements of their relatives.

  • ECOWAS Peace & Security Report
    ISSUE 10 | OCTOBER 2014 ECOWAS Peace & Security Report Politicians talk past each other as Togo’s 2015 elections approach Introduction While the presidential election in Togo is scheduled for the first quarter of 2015, politicians have still not reached agreement on the implementation of the policy reforms of the 2006 Global Political Agreement. The events of recent months illustrate the seriousness of the political impasse on these issues, which are central to the governance of the country. While the presidential election in Togo is scheduled for the first quarter of 2015, politicians have still not reached agreement on the implementation of the policy reforms of the 2006 Global Political Agreement. The events of recent months illustrate the seriousness of the political impasse on these issues, which are central to the governance of the country. On 30 June 2014, the National Assembly rejected the bill on constitutional and institutional reforms that had been tabled a week earlier by the Government.1 This bill proposed limiting the presidential term to two five-year periods, allowing a two-round presidential election, creating a Senate, reforming the Constitutional Court, defining the prerogatives of the Prime Minister and instituting new eligibility criteria for the presidency. This rejection reflects the failure of the so-called ‘Togo Telecom’ political dialogue, which ended in June 2014. The dialogue failed to reach consensus on the implementation of constitutional and institutional reforms, some of which concerned preparations for the 2015 election. For eight years, the conditions for implementing these reforms have regularly been put back on the agenda without any significant progress being observed.

  • THE GLOBAL DRACUNCULIASIS ERADICATION CAMPAIGN by Eric
    THE GLOBAL DRACUNCULIASIS ERADICATION CAMPAIGN By Eric A. Butvidas A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Geography—Master of Science 2015 ABSTRACT THE GLOBAL DRACUNCULIASIS ERADICATION CAMPAIGN By Eric A. Butvidas Dracunculiasis , also referred to as Guinea worm disease (GWD), is an ancient scourge on the brink of eradication. It is contracted when humans drink water from sources infested by microcrustacean copepods harboring Guinea worm (GW) larvae. The copepods dissolve in the stomach and release the GW larvae which make their way to the gut of the final host. Soon after, male and female GWs mate and approximately one year after entering the human body, a gravid female GW protrudes through the final host’s skin to release her larvae, causing extreme pain and debilitation. The most common treatment involves the slow extraction of the GW over time, but the cycle can be repeated without education/prevention and control interventions. In 1981, a global campaign to eradicate GWD was initiated simultaneously with the United Nations’ International Drinking Water Supply and sanitation Decade (1981-1990). This thesis contributes to the existing body of literature on GWD by providing a review of the disease’s history, research, and global programmatic findings from 1981 to 2013. It reconstructs the Global Dracunculiasis Eradication Campaign (GDEC) using the data made publicly available by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, and their affiliates chiefly through three publications: Guinea Worm Wrap-Up , Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report , and Weekly Epidemiological Record . Through this reconstruction of GDEC, hypotheses are generated about why GWD continues to persist in four sub-Sahara African countries: Chad, Ethiopia, Mali, and South Sudan.
