To M. L. KING CENTR

With all due respect for the late Dr M. L. KIng, I would like to express my indignation and disappointment to you for your complicity with the worst dictator of our contemporary world. In fact, it was with great consternation that the suffering togolese people learned that your center sent observers in Togo for presidential election where everybody knew democratic regulations would never be applied. For that particular reason, the U.N., the U.S. government, the European Union and many other credible organizations turned down the invitation from the last dictator of this world. I must be very frank with you, all the people in Togo are still shocked about the part your center played to legitimize the frauds, violence and crimes committed by Eyadema's regime for 36 years. We don't want believe that he bribed you, because corruption and bribery is the weapon he uses for aliens groups and for his people, he always uses force and sword. May be president Chirac of France can tell you more about that. He can for instance tell you how much money he has received from the dictator for his criminal support. I believe it's never too late to achieve good deeds, you can still speak out and tell the international community what you really saw during the election on june first, not what the regime asked you to say. Hurry up, your credibility is at stake. I am asking you this because I know the late Dr King would never ever back a dictator up, someone who has no respect for human rights, someone who hates justice. Didn't King say: "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere?". If you don't know, let me tell you that we have been under Eyadema's brutality, injustice, masochism... but to list a few, for 36 years now, don't you think it's enough? My last appeal to you is that, you should never accept any invitation from a dictator, a criminal, who has no regards for his people. Because the holy scriptures teach us "if you can't do good, don't do bad", it's simple. I am ready to discuss any comments with you.

Respectfully,
