  • 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.

Second, a description of the administration and financing of education is outlined. Third, there is presented a detailed outline of the schools and their programs of study from the elementary through the university level. There is a final summation of enrollment and output patterns, educational expansion, and opportunities. Comprehensive tables provide comparative statistics on the numbers and percentages of those involved in the educational process: past and current student enrollment; government expenditures; actual time spent in the classroom; number of trained and untrained teachers; certification of teachers; and degrees available in higher learning.

  • 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.
