Prof Emmanuel Kwesi Aning, the Director, Faculty of Academic Affairs & Research, Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre, KAIPTC has described the Western Togoland secessionist’s attack as the first most successful in West Africa and the Sahel-Sahara.

According to him, it is the first most successful attack against a sovereign state.

Speaking on Joy FM’s ‘NewsFile’ he said the successful nature of the attack must be the context in which the discussion about their activities yesterday should be situated.

Sharing his expert views on why he believes the protest and attack were the first most successful he said “It is the most successful first secessionist attack because we need to look at the geographical expanse of the attack from Juapong to Sogakofe and all the towns. Now, these are not small towns so where were the police, National Security the BNI? so that is one, the share geographical expanse. The second is the coordinated nature of those attacks they all took place within a certain time frame and the failure of the state is that if you see that … were brought in to block the roads people sung patriotic songs, they set fire and dance all without a response from the state.”

“The final symbolism relates to the police station, two police stations representing the state overrun and totally defeated…” he added.
