Guinée, le 9 juillet 2026 - Deux ans après la disparition forcée d’Oumar Sylla, dit « Foniké Menguè », coordinateur du Front National pour la Défense de la Constitution (FNDC), et de Mamadou Billo Bah, autre figure majeure de ce mouvement citoyen et coordinateur de Tournons La Page Guinée (TLP-Guinée), nos organisations demeurent profondément préoccupées par l’absence totale de vérité et de justice dans cette affaire.
The strong and encouraging presence of women in decision-making bodies has drawn the attention of members of Tournons La Page Gabon (TLP-Gabon). With financial support from the Delegation of the European Union (EU Delegation) in Gabon and the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), they organized a workshop of reflection and experience-sharing this Friday, June 5, 2026, in Libreville, on the theme: “Women’s leadership at the heart of political, economic, and social change in Gabon.”
On Saturday, May 9, 2026, the National Framework for Consultation for Change (CNCC), of which Tournons La Page Togo is a member, held its first official public appearance through a rally organized at the Akassimé grounds to challenge the establishment of the fifth Republic in Togo.
An intensive three-day training session was launched on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, for ten members of Tournons La Page Togo (TLP-Togo), including four women. The participants are strengthening their skills in advocacy and field research through advanced approaches.
Members of Tournons La Page Gabon (TLP-Gabon) launched, on Friday, March 27, 2026 in Libreville, the project “For Democratic and Inclusive Governance in Gabon: Fostering Dialogue and Citizen Participation,” funded by the Delegation of the European Union (EU) in Gabon. The launch ceremony was attended by the Gabonese Minister of Reform and Relations with Institutions, François Ndong Obiang, the European Union Ambassador to Gabon, Cécile Abadie, as well as several other officials from the Ministries of the Interior and Justice.
Africa: Make way for alternation
The average age in Africa is 19 years old, and the average age of presidents is 63 years old. In Africa, 8 leaders have been in power for more than 20 years. In Gabon, Togo, and Equatorial Guinea, 90% of the population has known only one family in power. We, citizens of Africa and Europe, wish to fight this situation and fight against fatalism. In Africa, as elsewhere, no democracy without changes of power !

Our projects
In several African countries, democracy remains fragile despite a multi-party system and elections that are often symbolic. The alternation of power and the separation of powers are struggling to establish themselves. Tournons La Page works to strengthen civic and democratic space through awareness-raising and citizen mobilisation initiatives. Debate cafés, neighbourhood councils and democracy caravans help defend civil and political rights.
Who are we?
Tournons La Page (TLP) is an international citizens' movement - bringing together nearly 250 organizations in fifteen countries (Benin, Burundi, Cameroon, Chad, Congo, Ivory Coast, Gabon, Guinea, Malawi, Mali, Niger, Uganda, DRC, Senegal, Togo) - which leads and relays peaceful, non-partisan actions to promote democratic alternation in Africa. In France, the International Secretariat based in Paris supports coalitions: training, network management and animation, lobbying and advocacy, media presence, protection of activists. On October 15, 2014, two weeks before the fall of Blaise Compaoré in Burkina Faso, we launched an appeal entitled "In Africa as elsewhere, no democracy without alternation" signed by 550 organizations and personalities from Africa and Europe.
