At the high-level summit on the fight against terrorism in Africa on the theme “Strengthening cooperation and regional institutions to respond to the evolving threat of terrorism in Africa” held in Abuja, on April 22, 2024, the Togolese President, Faure Gnassingbé, categorically described pre-colonial military agreements as “outdated” and “obsolete”. This bold position has aroused the anger of certain powers who see it as a threatening disavowal.
As a recognized ECOWAS mediator and strongly supported by the young leaders of the AES, his statement was not only disturbing; it also caused the premature departure of certain participants. The latter, who behind the scenes, finance media campaigns to destabilize the Togolese president.
The reactions were not long in coming: behind the scenes, the great Masters are alarmed, fearing that this position of Togo will lead to a broader questioning of existing military agreements.
Stay tuned for more details on this evolving situation.
