THE TOGOLESE DICTATORSHIP[edit]
THE TOGOLESE DICTATORSHIP is a 2023 book by Kossi Ntiafalali Aziagba, in which the author offers a critique of Dictatorship in Togo and a criticism on Democracy from the Colonization British English: colonisation of Africa perspective by colons or settler[1] of African people.
This book[2], far from being a narrative, can be likened to a retrospective of the cruelty of the authoritarian regime. In Togo, the Africa’s oldest single-family autocracy has tightened its grip on power by relying on foreign-made digital surveillance tools.[3]
The book denounces and addresses the facts in several chapters starting by the history of Togolese settlement, land invasion, colonialism, foreign domination, Impunity, social conflicts, political violence, Human rights violations, Repression of political opposition, controversial elections, Corruption, relations with neighboring countries, impacts on the economy and development, transition to democracy, and international pressures. The history of Togo and the Togolese people may best be told as a pluralizing historical narrative. Togo’s history is first narrated in a relatively conventional framework, which one might find in any historical dictionary or encyclopedia, to show how national histories can weave, bend, and misdirect attention at particular national and regional dimensions.[4]
The Togolese dictatorship is a complex and controversial subject that raises many concerns at the national and international levels.[5] But the question the Author is denouncing is: Why the international community continue to support dictatorship in African countries.
It advocates for the dismantling of oppressive dictatorships that have plagued the continent for decades, hindering progress and prosperity. This Ideology seeks to address the challenges faced in Togo, From Slavery to Dictatorship: A History of Togo’s Struggle for Freedom[6], where the rights and freedoms of the citizens have been suppressed , and a ruling elite has clung to power through force and manipulation.
Criticism of Dictatorship in Togo[edit]
Kossi argues on Human Rights Violations: The oppressive Regime in Togo has consistently violated human rights, including Freedom of expression, assembly, and association. Citizens who dare to express dissenting views or engage in peaceful protests are met with violence and repression, leading to a climate of fear and silence. Indeed, there is great impunity for the murders committed by the army. As revealed by the author and other activists, the question is highly topical and relayed by several literary works.[7]
