Since last night, the youth of #Togo have risen in defiance against the dictatorial regime of Faure Essozimna GNASSINGBÉ. After two decades in power, Faure Gnassingbé scrapped presidential elections from the constitution to secure a lifetime grip on power, following in the footsteps of his father, Eyadéma Gnassingbé, who ruled #Togo with violence and fear for 38 years. Despite a protest ban imposed since 2018, Togolese youths are pushing back. They are resisting through protests erecting barricades across roads to block police trucks and slow down the regime’s repressive machinery. It’s been a long and difficult day, but the protests are far from over. The resistance continues. #FreeTogo #FaureMustGo

Dictator Faure Essozimna GNASSINGBÉ has gotten so confident in his abuse that he pushed the button further with the masses by completely wiping presidential elections from our constitution without a referendum. The arrogance with which tyrants rule their people by underestimating the power of the people is what eventually lead to their downfall As the #Togolese saying goes: “The man lying on the ground no longer fears falling.” After 60 years of tyranny, poverty, and dehumanization under this dynastic regime, the people of #Togo are already on the ground. And now, nothing( not fear, not force, not propaganda) can stop them from rising #FaureMustGo #FreeTogo

How the Togolese Youths Are Rising Against the Oldest Family Dynasty in Africa ! For 58 years, one family has ruled #Togo with fear, fraud, and blood. Last month, Faure Essozimna GNASSINGBÉ has crowned himself “President of Council of Minister”, a new position he created in a sham parliamentary coup after modifying the constitution arbitrarily. Under his custom made constitution, there shall be no presidential elections in #Togo moving forward nor terms limit for him the head of state. This he did, to avoid elections and ensure he rules for life like his father did for 38 years. But this time, the people say: enough and yesterday began a new wave of uprisings in #Togo against the military regime. A thread 🧵 #FaureMustGo #FreeTogo #TogoDebout

In total, five people have now been confirmed dead following the three days of protest in #Togo. Two of them were found in the lake, their bodies riddled with gunshots. This is not new. Togolese soldiers have long used this brutal method: killing and dumping bodies into lakes or the ocean to erase the traces of their crimes. Today is a day of mourning in Togo. We mourn our fallen heroes. We grieve for the lives stolen, for the families shattered, for the pain inflicted on a people who simply want to live in dignity. We thank our martyrs for their courage, for their sacrifice, for daring to stand where others were forced to kneel. We are heartbroken; we are devastated. All we asked for is freedom, justice, and dignity and yet, the regime answered with bullets and blood. Last night, soldiers stormed homes, dragging people out in the dark and arresting them. The number of persons missing has now passed 200. Families still don’t know where their loved ones have been taken. But we will not relent. We will not rest until our brothers and sisters get justice. We will not stop until our people are free. We know this struggle will be long and painful but we are ready. For every Togolese dictator Faure Essozimna GNASSINGBÉ kills, thousands more will rise. We will match their violence with our determination, their cruelty with our unity. Thank you, Africa 🙏🏾! Thank you to everyone around the world standing with us 🙏🏾! Your solidarity gives us strength. Togo will be free ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾🇹🇬! #Fauremustgo #FreeTogo
