#dictatorsmustfall

So if you follow the lead organizer of the Togo Resistance, @Farida_N on twitter, today she posted that the situation is worsening for protesters. The people are considering armed resistance to overthrow the French’s puppet dictator and his military. I worry for the freedom fighters going this route. Don’t get me wrong, I fully support the people’s right to self defense against an oppressive regime. My worry is that the Togo government along with the aide of France will use the lack of media coverage of the resistance movement, to spin a narrative in their favor. So what can we do as comrades to help? We can help spread their message, information and images of the Uprising to build a solid understanding of the plight of the Togo freedom fighters. Follow Togo organizers on twitter. I have to stress this part since the government there is already cracking down on resistance fighters social media accounts to keep the western world misinformed. Do not underestimate what a simple reblog can do to assist the people of Togo. 

There is an uprising in Togo happening now. Togo is a country located in West Africa. The people have been protesting against an oppressive military regime that has been in power for decades.
