Togo's Olympio murdered: first parricide in post-independence Africa

I take you today into the mazes of the abrasive history of Togo, this German colony that gained independence from France on April 27, 1960. Two days later, Sylvanus Olympio was elected as the first president of the Republic. 

However, on January 13, 1963, he was assassinated during a military coup. Many saw the hand of French imperialism, that wanted to get rid of a president who wanted his total freedom from France, including his own national currency. But we may never know why and who has loosely decided the murder of Sylvanus Olympio, the first African president murdered by his own people, during his exercise of power after having freed his country from colonizers.
