Liberta Togo is a social political group founded in 1998 in Europe.
We were formed by a number of university students who had left Togo
during the troubles of the 1990-1991 period and had met as students in
Europe.
Our aim is :
1. Inform the world as to the abuse of power and corruption
happening in Togo
2. Raise funds to continue our projects of building schools and
hospitals in Togo.
Togo achieved its independence from France in
1960. In the decades that followed the country was governed by the
military rule of Gen. Gnassingbe Eyadema, until his death in 2005.
In 2005 a military coup installed Faure Gnassingbe the son of the
former ruler into power to continue the Regimes grip on the country.
Due to the small size and lack of natural resources, Togo is hidden
from the world and the misrule by Togolese politicians and military
officers will continue unless something is done.
The media is not free in Togo therefore any crimes against civilians
are hidden.

Since 1960 the Togolese people have been failed by the Gnassingbe
Regime, the opposition comprising of (Union des Forces du Changement - Led by
Gilchrist Olympio , Comité d’Action pour la Renouveau - Led by
Yawovi Agboyibo , Convention Démocratique des Peoples
Africains - Led by Leopold Gnininvi , Pacte
Socialiste pour le Renouveau - Led by Abi Tchessa, Parti pour le
Renouveau et la Redemption - Led by Nicolas Lawson, Convergence

To highlight the failure we have provided some
comparison showing the lack of growth since independence.
