Togo’s security minister, Colonel Yark Damehame, told the local Radio Victoire that the arrest of Alassane, who is close to the Panafrican National Party (PNP), was justified. There is no doubt in my mind.
“In his sermons he has been calling for violence and hatred… The last straw was last Friday when he called on his followers to kill soldiers,” he said. And they did.
Togo was scheduled to host the Africa – Israel Summit next week. The event was cancelled due to the unrest all over Togo.The religion of peace strikes at civilization, humanity and progress yet again.

Several dead in northern Togo after imam arrested
France 24, October 17, 2017 (thanks to Mark Z):
Three people were killed as violence broke out in Togo’s second city, Sokode, after an imam close to the country’s main opposition was arrested, the government said on Tuesday.
“Two soldiers on guard duty at the home of a VIP were lynched and executed and their weapons and ammunition were taken,” it said in a statement.
“A young person also died and about 20 other civilians and members of the security forces were injured,” it added.Amnesty International‘s country representative, Aime Adi, told AFP the young person killed was an apprentice upholsterer and was shot.The clashes came against a backdrop of anti-government protests led by Tikpi Atchadam, from the Panafrican National Party (PNP), who has a power base in the northern city.Ouro Akpo Tchagnaou, from the National Alliance for Change (ANC) party, said: “Electricity was cut off at about 7:00 pm (2100 GMT on Monday) after evening prayers.
“Five police vehicles arrived to arrest Alpha Alassane, a very well-known imam in the city,” he added. “The population felt targeted and took to the streets.”
Clashes lasted throughout the night until calm was restored but the authorities have been warned of renewed protests if Alassane is not freed on Tuesday morning.

“The situation was hard to put up with last night. The security forces and youths clashed in several parts of the city, with teargas and stone-throwing,” one local told AFP.
“There were burning tyres, barricades erected and buildings were looted,” added ANC spokesman Eric Dupuy.
“Homes were set on fire as well as a bank and premises belonging to (telephone company) TogoCell.”
Sporadic violence
Togo’s security minister, Colonel Yark Damehame, told the local Radio Victoire that the arrest of Alassane, who is close to the Panafrican National Party (PNP), was justified.
“In his sermons he has been calling for violence and hatred… The last straw was last Friday when he called on his followers to kill soldiers,” he said.
In Bafilo, near Sokode, young people also took to the streets and erected barricades, blocking the main road, said a member of the opposition CAP 2015 coalition, Tchatchibara Akim.
There were clashes in the Agoe area of Lome, which is a PNP stronghold. Youths who burned tyres were dispersed with teargas, according to local residents.

Hold the scumbag and his gang responsible and shoot him dead and go after his jihadi scumbags or they will only continue this .
Muslims are united in their goal of occupation , domination , terrorising and subjugation and practice Islamic Art Of Occupation & Ethnic Cleansing Without Killing http://bit.ly/2y1iju8

The only thing muslims understand is brute force and greater violence then they can manage. Whenever an imam calls for violence against anyone, the imam should be arrested and charged as an accessory to what ever crimes are committed based on his sermon.

Trouble is, law enforcement and civic leadership lack the guts to do the right thing. Additionally, they are paid off by the enemy. Bribe money they will not refuse.

It has been said that before you can kill the enemy, you must first dehumanize them.
What happens when the enemy dehumanizes themselves?
“Americans must know…there are thousands of young people who look forward to death as Americans look forward to life,” said the late Osama bin Laden spokesman Suleiman Abu Gheith.
During the Vietnam War, media pilloried military spokesmen who declared the enemy then did not share our value of human life. But now, we have it from the enemy themselves. They are obsessed with death.
Moslems have always been obsessed with death. How often have seen screaming mobs of Moslems burn the U.S. flag while chanting “Death to America!” or “Death to Israel!” or “Death to this!” or “Death to that!”, death, death, death, etc., etc., ad nauseam?
Moslems celebrate death. They dance in the streets at the news of massive deaths in Israel, America, Europe or elsewhere. They hail terrorists as heroes.
Moslem religion glorifies death in the name of Allah. From infancy, children are encouraged to die. To die for their religion is to go straight to paradise.
The questions are thus: Should we value Moslem life more than Moslems value our lives? Should we value Moslem
life more than they value life in general? Should we value Moslem lives more then they value their own miserable lives?
I don’t think so.

I haven’t found a Muslim yet who didn’t wish death to the Jews or killed them.

No society or government where Islam is the law can progress.
