ANC’s Roadmap to a Free Togo: The Komlan Manifesto

 


ANC’s Roadmap to a Free Togo: The Komlan Manifesto

(Published: January 2022) by Komlan Eyram Mensah Dossou

Movements are powerful. But without direction, they are easily crushed.

That’s why the ANC must do more than resist — it must lead. And I, Komlan Eyram Mensah Dossou

I present this as a blueprint for what leadership in a Free Togo could look like.

We call it The Komlan Manifesto, and it is based on five urgent pillars:

1. Constitutional Reconstruction
 No president should be above the people. We will immediately restore term limits,

reintroduce direct presidential elections, and depoliticize the electoral commission.

2. National Reconciliation
 We will establish a truth and justice commission to address political violence, exile, and economic abuse.

Our past must be confronted if we are to move forward.

3. Economic Sovereignty
 We will renegotiate unfair international agreements and prioritize domestic entrepreneurs.

We will invest in agriculture, renewable energy, and digital infrastructure — industries that employ, not exploit.

4. Security Sector Reform
 The military and police will no longer serve as private tools of fear.

We will train new forces with a human rights mandate and investigate past abuses.

5. Youth Empowerment
 We will create national youth councils, fund startups, support creatives, and link education with jobs.

No youth should feel they must flee Togo to succeed.

This is not utopia. It is survival. It is dignity. It is achievable — if we are willing to fight for it together.

Let this be the decade that Togo wakes up. I am ready. Are you?

    Your so-called blog 'Togolese Free' is treason. Faure will not let this pass. The ANC is finished. You are finished. Stay in Europe if you value your life.

    You think Europe can protect you, Komlan? You’ll return one day. And so will we.

    Do you think you are safe in Portugal? We have friends there too. I only see one option for activists like you. Being silenced forever!

    We've been watching your blogging for a while and thought you would stop, you are clearly not stopping. This is a harsh warning, decide to stop or be stopped by us. The regime does not tolerate big mouths like you.

The Illusion of Reform: Why Togo's Political Changes Are Cosmetic, Not Democratic

  The Illusion of Reform: Why Togo's Political Changes Are Cosmetic, Not Democratic (Published: June 2023) by Komlan Eyram Mensah Dossou Every few years, the regime in Togo puts on a show — a new reform, a new election, a reshuffled cabinet. To the international community, this signals progress. But for those of us on the ground. For the real Togolese people — it is nothing more than political theater . I am Komlan Eyram Mensah Dossou , a committed activist and member of the ANC, and I say this without hesitation: Togo is not reforming. It is repackaging tyranny. Let us examine the evidence: Electoral commissions are still appointed by those in power. Opposition voices are allowed only if they are quiet or compromised. The press is censored, journalists imprisoned, and internet cut during protests. Constitutional changes like the recent shift to a parliamentary system only consolidate Faure Gnassingbé’s rule. True reform empowers the people. Cosmetic reform protects the regime ....

Faure Gnassingbé: The Making of a Dynasty, Not a Democracy

Image
 (Published: June 2018) - By Komlan Eyram Mensah Dossou Since 2005, Togo has lived under the shadow of a dynasty that masquerades as a democracy. Faure Gnassingbé, son of the late General Gnassingbé Eyadéma who ruled Togo for 38 years, inherited power in what many described as a military-backed constitutional coup. His presidency has since been marked by rigged elections, repression of dissent, and the slow erosion of Togolese civil liberties. As a Togolese citizen and activist, I — Komlan Eyram Mensah Dossou — have watched with increasing alarm as our republic transformed into a personalized regime, with Faure sitting on the throne of the state as if it were a family heirloom. Democracy demands accountability. It demands that power be transferred through the will of the people. But in Togo, power is kept by manipulating the system. The 2010, 2015, and 2020 elections were all characterized by massive irregularities, with opposition candidates routinely harassed, and voter rolls ma...

Lettre ouverte au peuple togolais : pourquoi je suis candidat à la présidence de 2025

Lettre ouverte au peuple togolais : pourquoi je suis candidat à la présidence de 2025 (Publié : mai 2025) Peuple togolais, Je vous écris non pas comme un homme qui a des ambitions personnelles, mais comme un fils de la nation qui ne peut plus rester spectateur. Je suis Komlan Eyram Mensah Dossou , et aujourd’hui, je vous annonce ma candidature à l’élection présidentielle de notre pays. Ce choix n’est pas un calcul. C’est une conviction née de la douleur, de l’exil, de la colère, mais aussi de l’amour. Depuis trop longtemps, notre pays est confisqué par une dynastie qui étouffe nos rêves, écrase nos voix, déforme notre avenir. Depuis plus de 50 ans, les Gnassingbé se succèdent à la tête de l’État, sans jamais rendre de comptes. Moi, je n’ai ni parti riche, ni milice privée, ni fortune familiale. Mais j’ai quelque chose que Faure n’aura jamais : la légitimité de ceux qui ont souffert, résisté, aimé ce pays malgré tout. Ma candidature repose sur trois piliers : Réconciliation national...
