Africa-Press – Congo Brazzaville. <\/strong><\/span>C\u2019est une affaire qui fait jaser en Afrique et plus particuli\u00e8rement au Cameroun. 2,13 m\u00e8tres, 127 kg, le pivot des Sixers de Philadelphie, et meilleur marqueur de la NBA lors de la derni\u00e8re saison r\u00e9guli\u00e8re avec plus de 30 points en moyenne par match, une premi\u00e8re pour un joueur africain. N\u00e9 \u00e0 Yaound\u00e9, capitale du Cameroun, Joel Embiid est devenu fran\u00e7ais \u00e0 la suite de sa naturalisation obtenue en ce mois d\u2019aout 2022.<\/b><\/p>\n

C\u2019est une longue histoire qui remonte \u00e0 2016 et qui ne pla\u00eet pas en Afrique. Mais \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9poque ce n\u2019\u00e9tait que des rumeurs. Joel Embiid voulait devenir fran\u00e7ais. Pourquoi ? peut-on l\u00e9gitimement se poser la question. Les r\u00e9ponses \u00e0 cette question sont nombreuses et peuvent aller dans tous les sens. Mais la simple r\u00e9alit\u00e9 est qu\u2019une fois de plus l\u2019Afrique vient de se faire piller un de ses meilleurs talents. En devenant fran\u00e7ais, Embiid serait donc disponible pour jouer avec la s\u00e9lection fran\u00e7aise s\u2019il est s\u00e9lectionn\u00e9, puisque l\u2019int\u00e9rieur n\u2019a encore jamais \u00e9volu\u00e9 avec une s\u00e9lection nationale. Son pays natal, le Cameroun, le drague depuis plusieurs ann\u00e9es et esp\u00e9rait en faire une t\u00eate de gondole pour sa s\u00e9lection, et plus largement pour le basket africain. Le joueur lui-m\u00eame disait en 2018, date des premi\u00e8res rumeurs sur son choix d\u2019\u00e9quipe nationale : \u00ab je veux jouer pour mon pays. Si j\u2019ai un choix \u00e0 faire, ce sera le Cameroun en premier, s\u2019il y a un bon cadre, parce que c\u2019est de l\u00e0 que je viens \u00bb, clamait-il \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9poque.<\/p>\n

A la suite de l\u2019annonce de la naturalisation d\u2019Embiid, le s\u00e9lectionneur du Cameroun, l\u2019ancien basketteur Sacha Giffa a simplement d\u00e9clar\u00e9 : \u00ab Cette naturalisation est triste pour le continent africain \u00bb.<\/p>\n

La naturalisation d\u2019Embiid passe mal sur le plan \u00e9thique parce qu\u2019\u00e0 ce jour, les liens entre le natif de Yaound\u00e9 et la France restent plut\u00f4t minces. Ce dernier n\u2019a jamais jou\u00e9 dans l\u2019Hexagone, que ce soit en professionnels, ou durant sa formation. L\u2019institut national des sports et de l\u2019\u00e9ducation physique (INSEP) aurait pu l\u2019accueillir dans sa jeunesse, mais le joueur avait finalement pris la direction des Etats-Unis \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 16 ans. Il aurait pris la nationalit\u00e9 am\u00e9ricaine cela aurait \u00e9t\u00e9 m\u00eame plus compr\u00e9hensible pour nombreux africains puisqu\u2019il \u00e9volue et vit dans ce pays depuis plus d\u2019une d\u00e9cennie.<\/p>\n

Une naturalisation qui passe mal<\/b><\/p>\n

La question m\u00eame des joueurs \u00e9voluant avec des passeports obtenus en cours de carri\u00e8re fait jaser depuis de nombreuses ann\u00e9es dans le basket europ\u00e9en. De nombreuses s\u00e9lections ont profit\u00e9 de la r\u00e9glementation pour aligner des joueurs qui, pour certains, n\u2019avaient jamais mis les pieds dans le pays en question avant d\u2019en porter les couleurs. Le meneur am\u00e9ricain Bo McCalebb avait emmen\u00e9 la Mac\u00e9doine en demi-finale de l\u2019Euro 2011, alors que la s\u00e9lection n\u2019avait jamais fait mieux que le tour principal de la comp\u00e9tition. La Slov\u00e9nie a d\u00e9croch\u00e9 le titre 2017 \u00e0 la surprise g\u00e9n\u00e9rale avec dans ses rangs l\u2019am\u00e9ricain Anthony Randolph. L\u2019ex-joueur NBA avait obtenu son passeport quelques semaines seulement avant la comp\u00e9tition \u00ab pour avoir plus d\u2019exposition dans un tournoi majeur \u00bb, avait-il admis.<\/p>\n

Malheureusement le cas Embiid est loin d’\u00eatre in\u00e9dit. L\u2019\u00e9quipe de France s\u2019appuie r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement sur des joueurs naturalis\u00e9s depuis les ann\u00e9es 1970 et les changements de loi quant aux nationalit\u00e9s, mais aussi des r\u00e8glements du basket international. Du pionnier togolais Firmin Onissah en 1973 \u00e0 Joakim Noah (Fils de Yannick Noah) qui avait particip\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019Euro 2011, la France a toujours b\u00e9n\u00e9fici\u00e9 de ces doubles passeports venus du continent africain. En attendant, certains observateurs (pas seulement africains) voient dans cette naturalisation une d\u00e9marche opportuniste de la part de la France. Bref un nouveau pillage de l\u2019Afrique.<\/p>\n
