Africa-Press – Cameroun. <\/strong> <\/span>La visite de Le\u0301on XIV au Cameroun, pre\u0301vue dans les semaines qui suivront Pa\u0302ques, se pre\u0301pare dans un silence diplomatique soigneusement entretenu. Mais derrie\u0300re les murs du Vatican, la tension est palpable. Jeune Afrique a pu reconstituer les e\u0301changes qui ont eu lieu entre la Secre\u0301tairerie d’E\u0301tat pontificale et plusieurs interlocuteurs africains depuis la pre\u0301sidentielle d’octobre 2025.<\/p>\n

La lettre publique du pe\u0300re je\u0301suite Ludovic Lado au pape Le\u0301on XIV n’est pas passe\u0301e inaperc\u0327ue dans les couloirs du Saint-Sie\u0300ge. Jeune Afrique re\u0301ve\u0300le qu’elle a circule\u0301 au sein de plusieurs dicaste\u0300res romains avant qu’une re\u0301ponse officielle ne soit formule\u0301e. Le Saint-Sie\u0300ge a finalement choisi de re\u0301pondre, sans toutefois remettre en cause l’agenda africain du pontife. Une de\u0301cision qui, selon nos informations, refle\u0300te la position d’un Vatican soucieux de ne pas apparai\u0302tre comme une institution susceptible de se plier aux pressions politiques exte\u0301rieures, quelle que soit leur origine.<\/p>\n

Le pe\u0300re Lado lui-me\u0302me l’a reconnu publiquement: \u00ab L’essentiel est que le pape est au courant de ce qui se passe dans le pays, y compris de l’assassinat d’Anicet Ekane. \u00bb Une formule qui en dit long sur les attentes des critiques de cette visite: non pas annuler, mais que le souverain pontife se rende a\u0300 Yaounde\u0301 en connaissance de cause.<\/p>\n

C’est peut-e\u0302tre la\u0300 que se joue la vraie bataille. Jeune Afrique a appris que plusieurs e\u0301ve\u0302ques camerounais auraient e\u0301te\u0301 sollicite\u0301s, tant par des repre\u0301sentants du gouvernement que par des figures de l’opposition, pour influer sur le contenu du discours que prononcera le pape lors de son se\u0301jour. L’E\u0301glise locale se retrouve ainsi prise en e\u0301tau entre sa loyaute\u0301 institutionnelle envers Rome, sa relation historique avec l’E\u0301tat camerounais, et les appels de plus en plus pressants d’une partie du clerge\u0301 a\u0300 briser le silence sur la crise poste\u0301lectorale.<\/p>\n

Le mouvement diaspora \u00ab Project C \u00bb ne ma\u0302che pas ses mots a\u0300 ce sujet: dans sa lettre ouverte adresse\u0301e au pontife de\u0300s le 17 novembre 2025, il reproche explicitement a\u0300 l’e\u0301piscopat camerounais de choisir le silence au de\u0301triment de la ve\u0301rite\u0301. \u00ab L’E\u0301glise ne peut servir la ve\u0301rite\u0301 tout en acceptant les mensonges \u00bb, peut-on y lire.<\/p>\n

Malgre\u0301 la controverse, les pre\u0301paratifs avancent a\u0300 un rythme soutenu. Jeune Afrique sait que des travaux ont d’ores et de\u0301ja\u0300 e\u0301te\u0301 engage\u0301s dans les re\u0301gions anglophones \u2014 toujours en proie a\u0300 la guerre civile depuis une de\u0301cennie \u2014 ainsi qu’a\u0300 Yaounde\u0301. La chai\u0302ne catholique KTO a, de son co\u0302te\u0301, de\u0301ploye\u0301 un important dispositif me\u0301diatique. Ces signaux concrets indiquent que ni le Vatican ni Yaounde\u0301 n’envisagent de revenir sur la de\u0301cision.<\/p>\n

Pour le Saint-Sie\u0300ge, le de\u0301fi est de\u0301sormais de calibrer avec soin les mots du pape sur place: suffisamment forts pour ne pas e\u0302tre perc\u0327u comme le bras diplomatique de Paul Biya, suffisamment mesure\u0301s pour pre\u0301server des de\u0301cennies de relations avec l’E\u0301tat camerounais. Un e\u0301quilibre pe\u0301rilleux, dans un pays ou\u0300 chaque geste du pontife sera scrute\u0301 et instrumentalise\u0301.<\/p>\n
