Several Togolese media relay information that Togolese President Faure Gnassingbé has deported or sent his older brother and enemy and politician Kpatcha Gnassingbé to an African destination which would probably be Gabon. Libreville has so far neither confirmed nor denied the presence on its territory of the Togolese prisoner who is said to be very ill.
Was Kpatcha Gnassingbé evacuated or deported, Togolese wonder on social networks. Especially when we learn from several well-informed sources that the half-brother of Faure Gnassingbé, admitted to the military flag of Lomé for two years, no longer has worrying health.
The probability of a real medical evacuation, either in North Africa (Morocco or Tunisia) or in the Middle East (Lebanon) or in Europe which might have allowed Kpatcha Gnassingbé to have freedom of movement, has always been ruled out. categorically by his president brother. The latter rather favored his own option by soliciting several countries (Gambia, Equatorial Guinea, Uganda, Gabon).
It is moreover the main subject which furnished, in reality, the numerous displacements of Faure Gnassingbé in Gabon and the recent visit of Ali Bongo in Togo, the whole disguised as a visit of friendship and work.
Kpatcha Gnassingbé was aware of all these negotiations, but had no idea when he was to start this journey. This is how he was surprised this Thursday, March 23, 2023 at the start of the evening. He was asked to do his business quickly at the Lomé military pavilion, direction airport and destination Gabon.
According to very specific sources, his stay in Gabon will be under house arrest. The question is whether it is a move away from the country to allow the two enemy brothers to dialogue in complete serenity to resolve their dispute or it is a land of asylum for the half-brother of Faure Gnassingbé. The days to come will situate us.
