In the 70s dictator Eyadema of #Togo, soldier of the #French colonial army appointed a minister of education called Sylvain Babelem. Babelem was removed, later arrested and charged with corruption for one thing. He defied Eyadema’s bosses: the French government.
During a ceremony held by the French embassy to donate school books to #Togo , Minister Babelem who use to be teacher denounced the fact #France was donating books they’ve removed from the French curriculum to #Togo especially the fact that these books embellished colonialism.
The #French delegation was not pleased with the #Togolese minister questioning their act of “charity” and called his boss dictator Eyadema to complain. Babelem was removed as minister of education of #Togo and that was just the beginning of his ordeals with the neocolonial regime
