Le trafic humain demeure une réalité inquiétante pour de nombreux Togolais, piégés dans des réseaux criminels opérant principalement dans les grandes villes du Nigéria. Ces victimes sont souvent manipulées et forcées à recruter leurs proches pour de nouveaux actes de trafic, créant ainsi un cercle vicieux. Un jeune Togolais, qui a échappé à cet enfer, a récemment partagé son témoignage. Il raconte avoir été attiré par la promesse d’une opportunité de voyage vers les États-Unis, une offre alléchante qu’on lui a faite par l’intermédiaire de son propre frère. Ce dernier l’a accueilli à Ibadan avant de l’emmener dans un groupe de victimes, où il a découvert que plusieurs Togolais étaient déjà présents. « J’ai vu des enseignants, des militaires, même des fonctionnaires d’État. C’est étonnant », a-t-il déploré dans une interview réalisée en Ewe. Le jeune homme, désormais prêt à collaborer avec les autorités, se dit disponible pour aider à...

Portsudan — The Attorney General of the Republic of Sudan Al-Fatih Tayfour said that the judicial authorities can resort to issuing in absentia rulings for fugitive Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia defendants present in 6 countries (he did not name them) if they do not surrender themselves to justice.

The time to act is now. The history we write today will shape the legacy we leave for future generations. Senator Oshiomhole’s intervention serves as a powerful call for a policy shift. Electricity should be treated as a basic necessity and made affordable for all citizens. While privatisation is not inherently flawed, the regulatory framework must be robustly enforced to ensure fairness. Citizens who invest in procuring infrastructure, such as transformers that eventually become the property of electricity companies, should be compensated. Furthermore, these costs should be reflected in the tariff system to ease the financial burden on consumers. Senator Adams Oshiomhole has long been known for his rare courage in speaking out against societal injustices. From his tenure as a labour leader to his time as a state governor, he consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to truth and justice, regardless of the interests at stake.
