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.

President Volodymr Zelensky has appealed to Germany to supply Ukraine with tanks, as leaders meet to discuss further aid.
Defence leaders from a number of Nato members are meeting at the US air base in Ramstein, Germany to discuss sending further aid ahead of an anticipated Spring offensive by Russia.
Germany is under increasing pressure from other countries to supply its Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, as the UK prepares to send a dozen Challenger 2 tanks.
“If you have Leopard [tanks], then give them to us, these leopards won’t go through Russia. We’re defending ourselves.”, he told public TV in Germany.

The US and Iran have exchanged the largest number of strikes in weeks – after Iran retaliated to American attacks by launching strikes against US assets across the Middle East.
Iran says one US strike hit a wedding celebration in the south of the county, killing four people including one child.
The US has denied targeting civilians but US Central Command says they’re ‘looking into’ the strike.

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.
