Subscribe to BBC News www.youtube.com/bbcnews
It has been 100 years since the outbreak of World War One – and most people tend to think of the conflict’s European battlefields.
But one of the first and crucial battles took place in Africa when allied forces invaded the German colony of Togoland in August 1914.
The BBC’s Akwasi Sarpong travelled to Togo to uncover one of the lesser known stories of the war and its impact on the West African nation.

Australian MP Helen Haines has been taken to hospital with “critical injuries” after she was hit by a car near her regional office in Wangaratta, Victoria, police have said.
“This wasn’t an accident – there was a deliberate act, it would appear,” said Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
Police have said they’re investigating whether it was “intentional” and a 43-year-old man, from nearby Tarrawingee, was arrested at the scene by a passer-by.

Lives “will be lost” unless the UK does more to prepare for wildfires, experts warn, after a record-breaking summer saw 1,350 wildfires in England and Wales alone.
“Tinderbox” conditions created by a long, hot, dry summer brought the worst wildfire season on record in 2026.
Dozens of homes were destroyed or damaged, huge areas of land burned, and one man died.
The UK government banned disposable barbecues, sent a wildfire alert to people’s mobile phones and made £97m available, and a wildfire summit is planned – but are we still behind the curve?
In this episode of Behind the Investigation, Melanie Stewart-Smith speaks to Adrian Goldberg from File on 4 Investigates about what he found on the ground.

Well done. Bravo pour votre travail. Malgré notre situation, continuons tous la promotion du Togo et du mina parlé à Lomé et qui n’est pas documenté. Alors, invitez plus de gens a apprendre la langue sur la chaine https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwI13OTnx46iFR1uxFBzV_w
LES SERIES APPRENDRE LE MINA. Le mina de Lomé qui est un mélange de l’éwé, gain, français, anglais, allemand et le portugais, n’est pas reconnue comme une langue officielle du Togo (même si c’est elle qu’on parle sur tout le territoire et au dela). A cause du Ghana, l’éwé est bien documente et peut être appris jusqu’à l’université au Ghana car le nombre de personne qui parle l’éwé au Ghana est grand. Nous devons faire de même puisque le mina de Lomé est la langue la plus parlée au Togo ; alors tous, aidez ma lutte et aidez à faire de ce mina notre langue officielle. Merci

The people of Togo land would be proud of the American hero that bears its name! Togo was an awesome Siberian husky that braved the barren tundra at 60 below in 50 mph wind to save the children of nome from a diphtheria epidemic….he was an underdog too….if you want to see him today he is at the Iditarod trail museum in willow Alaska….even now if you look into his glass eyes with an open mind you can see the heart of a survivor!

The ironic part is they speak french. If axis won the war, there could actually be African that speak Finnish and Japanese, that would be so cool.
