CE Qu\u2019Il Faut Savoir<\/h4>\n

L’ancien pr\u00e9sident lib\u00e9rien George Weah a expliqu\u00e9 les raisons de l’arr\u00eat de la construction de deux ponts \u00e0 Monrovia, en raison des tensions g\u00e9opolitiques entre la Chine et les \u00c9tats-Unis. Malgr\u00e9 l’ach\u00e8vement des d\u00e9marches administratives, il a refus\u00e9 de s’impliquer dans les conflits politiques entre les deux puissances.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Africa. <\/strong> <\/span>L’ancien pre\u0301sident libe\u0301rien George Weah a re\u0301ve\u0301le\u0301 les raisons de l’arre\u0302t du projet de construction de deux ponts a\u0300 Monrovia pendant son mandat, indiquant que la suspension e\u0301tait lie\u0301e aux tensions ge\u0301opolitiques entre la Chine et les E\u0301tats-Unis.<\/p>\n

Lors d’un discours devant un rassemblement dans une e\u0301glise, Weah a pre\u0301cise\u0301 que son gouvernement avait accompli toutes les de\u0301marches techniques et administratives ne\u0301cessaires au projet, mais qu’il avait refuse\u0301 de s’engager dans les conflits politiques entre Pe\u0301kin et Washington. Il a de\u0301clare\u0301: “Parce qu’ils nous proposent des projets, ils pensaient que nous devions nous engager dans les politiques des autres, mais j’e\u0301tais le pre\u0301sident et j’ai dit non”. Il a souligne\u0301 que le Libe\u0301ria avait maintenu une politique de neutralite\u0301, insistant sur le fait que ses relations avec les deux puissances mondiales reposaient sur un partenariat e\u0301quilibre\u0301.<\/p>\n

Engagements chinois ante\u0301rieurs<\/b><\/p>\n

Au de\u0301but de son mandat, Pe\u0301kin avait renouvele\u0301 son soutien au programme “Agenda du peuple pour la prospe\u0301rite\u0301 et le de\u0301veloppement”, le ministre chinois des Affaires e\u0301trange\u0300res Wang Yi ayant de\u0301clare\u0301 l’engagement de son pays a\u0300 une coope\u0301ration fonde\u0301e sur “l’honne\u0302tete\u0301, des re\u0301sultats concrets et des be\u0301ne\u0301fices mutuels”. L’ambassade libe\u0301rienne a\u0300 Pe\u0301kin avait e\u0301galement annonce\u0301 que la Chine avait alloue\u0301 une subvention de 200 millions de yuans (environ 29,5 millions de dollars) pour la re\u0301alisation de projets convenus lors de la rencontre entre Weah et le pre\u0301sident chinois Xi Jinping au sommet du Forum sur la coope\u0301ration sino-africaine en 2018, y compris la construction de deux ponts pour re\u0301duire la congestion pre\u0300s du complexe ministe\u0301riel et de la rue SKD Boulevard. Malgre\u0301 ces arrangements, le projet est reste\u0301 suspendu jusqu’a\u0300 la fin du mandat de Weah.<\/p>\n

Relance du projet sous Joseph Boakai<\/b><\/p>\n

Environ deux ans apre\u0300s son accession au pouvoir, le pre\u0301sident Joseph Boakai a relance\u0301 le projet, posant la premie\u0300re pierre des ponts le 2 septembre 2025 en pre\u0301sence de l’ambassadeur chinois au Libe\u0301ria, Yin Qingguo. Lors de la ce\u0301re\u0301monie, Boakai a exprime\u0301 la gratitude de son gouvernement pour “la ge\u0301ne\u0301rosite\u0301 de la Chine et son soutien continu a\u0300 la transformation de l’e\u0301conomie libe\u0301rienne”, conside\u0301rant le projet comme une e\u0301tape essentielle pour re\u0301soudre la crise de la circulation et ame\u0301liorer le transport dans la capitale.<\/p>\n

Pour sa part, l’ambassadeur chinois a de\u0301crit le projet comme “un symbole de la coope\u0301ration strate\u0301gique croissante entre les deux pays”, affirmant qu’il e\u0301tait le fruit direct des rencontres au sommet entre Boakai et le pre\u0301sident Xi Jinping lors du sommet de Pe\u0301kin 2024 du Forum sur la coope\u0301ration sino-africaine.<\/p>\n

La construction des ponts devrait e\u0302tre acheve\u0301e d’ici 2027, dans le cadre d’une initiative chinoise visant a\u0300 soutenir les infrastructures au Libe\u0301ria. Ce projet devrait contribuer a\u0300 alle\u0301ger la pression sur la circulation et a\u0300 renforcer l’image de la coope\u0301ration sino-libe\u0301rienne sur le continent africain.<\/p>\n

Sous la pre\u0301sidence de George Weah, la Chine avait renouvele\u0301 son soutien a\u0300 des projets de de\u0301veloppement en Libe\u0301ria, y compris la construction de ponts pour ame\u0301liorer l’infrastructure. Cependant, le projet a e\u0301te\u0301 suspendu en raison de la ne\u0301cessite\u0301 de maintenir une politique de neutralite\u0301 face aux tensions entre Pe\u0301kin et Washington.<\/p>\n

Apre\u0300s l’e\u0301lection de Joseph Boakai, le projet a e\u0301te\u0301 relance\u0301, avec la pose de la premie\u0300re pierre en septembre 2025. Ce projet est perc\u0327u comme un symbole de la coope\u0301ration strate\u0301gique entre la Libe\u0301ria et la Chine, visant a\u0300 re\u0301soudre les proble\u0300mes de circulation a\u0300 Monrovia et a\u0300 renforcer les relations bilate\u0301rales.<\/p>\n
