Sylvanus Olympio: Africa’s First Assassinated President | Assassinated By France
Today I'll be talking about Sylvanus Olympio, the first President of Togo, a small country in West Africa, which was once a German colony, and later became a French and British protectorates.
The story of Togo is a little bit like that of Cameroon which was once a German colony but was later divided between France and Great Britain as protectorates.
Sylvanus Olympio, the first President of the Republic of Togo was distinguished for his pragmatism, brilliance, and moderation. His government was overthrown by the first military coup in tropical Africa and he was assassinated by Eyadema Gnassingbe.

    ARTICLE: Houston Daily Post, 1897 Negro who speak & write ancient Hebrew, Sep 20 “Hartford, Conn., September 19.-A young African negro has been in this city for the last few days who claims to be a Hebrew. He is deaf and dumb and as black as the ace of spades. He carries a pad of paper with him and answers all questions by writing them in Hebrew and Loschen Khodish. What excites the most wonder is that he writes Loschen Khodish very rapidly. It is the language of the books of Moses, and is made a special study of, spoken and writes with ease only by the rabbis and highly educated Hebrews. The negro was sent to one of the rabbis of Hartford, who is perfectly satisfied that he is a Hebrew. He says that he came from a large town in Africa, where there is a tribe of about 20,000 black Hebrews who speak Loschen Khodish and are quite prosperous. He also says that his father is a rabbi in that town, that is why his father took the trouble to teach him to write these languages, which needed an extra amount of labor on account of his being deaf and dumb. He says his people not only write Loschen Khodish, but it is their speaking language as well. He left home a few years ago and has seen a good deal of the world. In each town he hunts up the Jewish section, and there they give him clothes, food and money: What surprises him, he writes, is that no Hebrew knows of his countrymen in Africa.

      Do you understand the meaning of "Referendum"?? Yes the country was a one party state but he was voted for in a referendum. Haven't you ever heard of the 1985 Sierra Leonean Presidential election?? In that election voters had the choice of saying YES or No. Yes he was the only candidate in that election because the country was a one party state, but even with that the people were given the opportunity to a "No vote" and a "Yes vote". According to the One Party State Constitution, he needed to win a simple majority of the votes cast in order for him to be installed as President. Because the country was a one party state doesn't mean he was installed as President without an election. Listen to the documentary again, and this time please listen to it properly and carefully.
