Chronique de Jean-Baptiste Placca <\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Nous sommes libres\u00a0! Adieu le Nord\u00a0! Bonjour le bonheur\u00a0!\u00a0\u00bb.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Au bout de la nuit profonde, une aube nouvelle, que l\u2019on souhaite radieuse pour les populations du Sud-Soudan. Puisse la vigilance des dieux Dinkas, Nuers, Shuluks\u2026 ne jamais \u00eatre prise en d\u00e9faut. Car il en faudra, pour que soit cl\u00e9ment le destin de ce nouvel Etat. A l\u2019\u0153il nu, l\u2019on voit d\u00e9j\u00e0 poindre les emb\u00fbches dress\u00e9es au-devant de ce Sud-Soudan qui na\u00eet d\u2019une double soustraction\u00a0: un tiers du territoire et trois quarts du p\u00e9trole de l\u2019autre Soudan, qui a cess\u00e9, \u00e0 minuit, d\u2019\u00eatre le plus grand pays d\u2019Afrique, en superficie.<\/span><\/p>\n

L\u2019ind\u00e9pendance, la vocation ultime des peuples opprim\u00e9s<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A ceux qui, au nom d\u2019un certain panafricanisme, seraient tent\u00e9s de d\u00e9plorer une balkanisation de plus du continent, il faut juste rappeler que l\u2019ind\u00e9pendance est la vocation ultime des peuples opprim\u00e9s. Faute d\u2019avoir pu s\u2019\u00e9panouir au sein du grand Soudan, ils iront vivre leur destin \u00e0 part, \u00e0 l\u2019abri du racisme et du m\u00e9pris. Car le projet politique de l\u2019oligarchie au pouvoir \u00e0 Khartoum a souvent, sinon toujours \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u2019arabiser ces populations noires, animistes ou chr\u00e9tiennes du Sud.<\/span><\/p>\n

Depuis un demi-si\u00e8cle, ce peuple a pay\u00e9 le prix qu\u2019il faut payer pour demeurer lui-m\u00eame\u00a0: emprisonnements, liquidations, exil\u2026 Hommage \u00e0 la m\u00e9moire des gu\u00e9rilleros du Front de lib\u00e9ration de l\u2019Azanie, entr\u00e9s dans l\u2019Histoire sous le nom de guerre\u00a0: Anya Nya, les premiers \u00e0 se soulever, en 1963. Un accord, sign\u00e9 sous l\u2019\u00e9gide de l\u2019OUA, en 1972, reconnaissait le statut de r\u00e9gions autonomes aux provinces sudistes d\u2019Equatoria, du Bahr el Ghazal et du Haut-Nil. Mais il n\u2019a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 respect\u00e9 par le mar\u00e9chal el-Nimeiry. C\u2019est alors qu\u2019appara\u00eet John Garang. Fondateur de la SPLA, il est le v\u00e9ritable p\u00e8re de l\u2019ind\u00e9pendance que l\u2019on c\u00e9l\u00e8bre aujourd\u2019hui.<\/span>
\nLibre, oui\u00a0! Libre enfin\u00a0! Pour ce qui est du bonheur que chantent les manifestants de Juba et d\u2019ailleurs, il d\u00e9pend d\u2019abord et avant tout des Sud-Soudanais eux-m\u00eames\u00a0: ils ont, en Afrique, sous leurs yeux,\u00a0toute la panoplie de ce qu\u2019il ne faut pas faire.<\/span><\/p>\n

A minuit, ce samedi 9\u00a0juillet, tandis que les cloches chantaient la libert\u00e9, la foule en liesse, \u00e0 Juba – et sans doute ailleurs dans ce nouveau pays – a laiss\u00e9 jaillir ses \u00e9motions les plus enfouies.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
