Africa-Press – Cameroun. <\/strong><\/span>Dans son nouvel essai, le journaliste se\u0301ne\u0301galais Ousmane Ndiaye utilise le Cameroun de Paul Biya pour illustrer sa the\u0300se sur les pseudo-de\u0301mocraties africaines, ou\u0300 les institutions existent mais ne remplissent pas leur fonction de\u0301mocratique.<\/p>\n

A\u0300 quelques mois de la pre\u0301sidentielle camerounaise d’octobre, le pays se retrouve sous les feux de la critique internationale. Dans un entretien accorde\u0301 a\u0300 Jeune Afrique, le journaliste et analyste politique se\u0301ne\u0301galais Ousmane Ndiaye a choisi le Cameroun comme illustration parfaite de ce qu’il appelle les \u00ab\u00a0fictions de\u0301mocratiques\u00a0\u00bb africaines.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Le Cameroun est un exemple typique de fiction de\u0301mocratique\u00a0\u00bb, affirme sans de\u0301tour Ousmane Ndiaye, auteur de L’Afrique contre la de\u0301mocratie \u2013 Mythes, de\u0301ni et pe\u0301ril (Rive neuve \u2013 2025). Pour e\u0301tayer sa de\u0301monstration, il dresse un inventaire critique des institutions camerounaises.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Il y a un Se\u0301nat, il y a une commission nationale e\u0301lectorale inde\u0301pendante, qui n’est surtout pas inde\u0301pendante, il y a un Parlement, qui n’est surtout pas un contre-pouvoir ni une instance de contro\u0302le du pouvoir\u00a0\u00bb, e\u0301nume\u0300re-t-il, pointant du doigt l’e\u0301cart entre l’apparence institutionnelle et la re\u0301alite\u0301 du fonctionnement politique.<\/p>\n

La personnification du pouvoir sous les \u00ab\u00a0atours de la de\u0301mocratie\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

L’analyse de Ndiaye va au c\u0153ur du syste\u0300me camerounais actuel. Il de\u0301nonce \u00ab\u00a0une sorte de personnification du pouvoir par un seul homme avec les atours d’une de\u0301mocratie\u00a0\u00bb, une description qui re\u0301sonne particulie\u0300rement avec la situation de Paul Biya, au pouvoir depuis 1982 et candidat a\u0300 un huitie\u0300me mandat.<\/p>\n

Cette critique intervient dans un contexte ou\u0300 les re\u0301cents de\u0301veloppements autour de la candidature de Maurice Kamto semblent confirmer les dysfonctionnements institutionnels e\u0301voque\u0301s par l’analyste. L’invalidation controverse\u0301e du principal opposant par Elecam, pour \u00ab\u00a0pluralite\u0301 de candidatures\u00a0\u00bb au sein du Manidem, illustre concre\u0300tement les limites de l’inde\u0301pendance des institutions e\u0301lectorales.<\/p>\n

L’essai d’Ousmane Ndiaye s’attaque plus largement aux tenants du \u00ab\u00a0relativisme de\u0301mocratique\u00a0\u00bb qui estiment que la de\u0301mocratie ne serait pas applicable aux pays africains car trop occidentale. Contre cette vision, il de\u0301veloppe une critique des fondements historiques de ces \u00ab\u00a0fictions de\u0301mocratiques\u00a0\u00bb, dont il fait remonter l’origine a\u0300 la pe\u0301riode coloniale.<\/p>\n

Le journaliste se\u0301ne\u0301galais n’e\u0301pargne pas non plus les \u00ab\u00a0opposants historiques\u00a0\u00bb comme Alpha Conde\u0301 ou Laurent Gbagbo, coupables selon lui d’avoir \u00ab\u00a0tue\u0301 l’espoir de\u0301mocratique en ne mettant pas en place un re\u0301gime re\u0301ellement de\u0301mocratique\u00a0\u00bb une fois arrive\u0301s au pouvoir.<\/p>\n

Plus pre\u0301occupant encore, Ndiaye e\u0301tend sa critique aux oppositions contemporaines: \u00ab\u00a0Quand, dans l’opposition, dans son propre parti, on n’a pas une gouvernance et une pratique de\u0301mocratique, quand on arrive au pouvoir, on ne l’aura pas.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

Cette observation re\u0301sonne particulie\u0300rement avec la situation camerounaise actuelle, ou\u0300 les re\u0301ve\u0301lations sur le \u00ab\u00a0marche\u0301\u00a0\u00bb des investitures politiques et l’isolement de Maurice Kamto face a\u0300 ses difficulte\u0301s illustrent les dysfonctionnements internes de l’opposition.<\/p>\n

L’analyse d’Ousmane Ndiaye arrive a\u0300 un moment charnie\u0300re pour le Cameroun. Alors que le pays s’appre\u0302te a\u0300 organiser sa pre\u0301sidentielle d’octobre, les e\u0301ve\u0301nements re\u0301cents – invalidation de candidatures, soupc\u0327ons de manipulation, commerce des e\u0301tiquettes partisanes – semblent valider sa the\u0300se sur les \u00ab\u00a0fictions de\u0301mocratiques\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n

Le diagnostic du journaliste se\u0301ne\u0301galais pose une question fondamentale: comment sortir de ces simulacres institutionnels pour construire une ve\u0301ritable de\u0301mocratie? Pour le Cameroun, qui s’appre\u0302te a\u0300 vivre sa e\u0301nie\u0300me e\u0301lection pre\u0301sidentielle sous Paul Biya, cette interrogation prend une acuite\u0301 particulie\u0300re.<\/p>\n

Derrie\u0300re ses formules choc comme \u00ab\u00a0Plus on vote, plus on s’e\u0301loigne de la de\u0301mocratie\u00a0\u00bb, Ousmane Ndiaye invite a\u0300 une re\u0301flexion profonde sur la qualite\u0301 des processus de\u0301mocratiques africains. Le cas camerounais, avec ses institutions formellement de\u0301mocratiques mais fonctionnellement de\u0301faillantes, offre un terrain d’illustration privile\u0301gie\u0301 pour cette analyse critique.<\/p>\n
