The book delves into Togo's political landscape following the 2005 electoral crisis and the subsequent establishment of the Global Political Agreement in 2006. It highlights the formation of the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission, which aimed to address historical political violence and propose reparations for victims. After 34 months, the commission issued its first report with key recommendations for state rebuilding and social cohesion. The narrative continues with the creation of the High Commission for Reconciliation, tasked with implementing these recommendations.
