Africa-Press. <\/strong> <\/span>Le pre\u0301sident de Botswana, Mokgweetsi Masisi, a annonce\u0301 le de\u0301ce\u0300s de l’ancien pre\u0301sident Festus Mogae a\u0300 l’a\u0302ge de 86 ans.<\/p>\n

Masisi a de\u0301clare\u0301 sur son compte sur la plateforme ame\u0301ricaine “X”: “Aujourd’hui, le Botswana pleure un homme d’E\u0301tat national e\u0301minent qui a consacre\u0301 sa vie au service de son pays”, ajoutant que Mogae est de\u0301ce\u0301de\u0301 to\u0302t le vendredi matin.<\/p>\n

Avant de devenir pre\u0301sident, Mogae a occupe\u0301 des postes gouvernementaux de haut niveau, notamment celui de ministre des Finances, puis de vice-pre\u0301sident par la suite.<\/p>\n

Il est largement reconnu pour avoir dirige\u0301 la re\u0301ponse du Botswana a\u0300 l’e\u0301pide\u0301mie de VIH\/SIDA, alors que le pays avait l’un des taux d’infection les plus e\u0301leve\u0301s au monde.<\/p>\n

Cependant, un programme ambitieux de traitement antire\u0301troviral a contribue\u0301 de manie\u0300re significative a\u0300 re\u0301duire les taux d’infection et de mortalite\u0301.<\/p>\n

Me\u0302me apre\u0300s avoir quitte\u0301 ses fonctions, il a continue\u0301 a\u0300 plaider pour l’acce\u0300s aux traitements du VIH dans la re\u0301gion, appelant a\u0300 la fourniture de traitements antire\u0301troviraux gratuits et a\u0300 la mise en place de mesures pour pre\u0301venir la transmission de la me\u0300re a\u0300 l’enfant.<\/p>\n

Il a e\u0301galement participe\u0301 par la suite a\u0300 plusieurs ro\u0302les de conseil international et a\u0300 des efforts de me\u0301diation pour la paix a\u0300 travers le continent africain.<\/p>\n

En 2008, Mogae a rec\u0327u le prix Ibrahim pour l’excellence en leadership africain, l’une des plus hautes distinctions lie\u0301es a\u0300 la bonne gouvernance en Afrique, en reconnaissance de son leadership de\u0301mocratique et de son transfert pacifique du pouvoir.<\/p>\n

En plus du prix financier de 5 millions de dollars (3,6 millions de livres sterling), Mogae a rec\u0327u une allocation annuelle de 200 000 dollars a\u0300 vie.<\/p>\n

Ian Khama a succe\u0301de\u0301 a\u0300 Mogae a\u0300 la pre\u0301sidence.<\/p>\n

Le Botswana est conside\u0301re\u0301 comme l’un des pays les plus stables politiquement en Afrique, n’ayant jamais connu de coup d’E\u0301tat militaire, et ayant maintenu des e\u0301lections multipartites re\u0301gulie\u0300res depuis son inde\u0301pendance en 1966.<\/p>\n

L’ancien pre\u0301sident, qui a dirige\u0301 le Botswana de 1998 a\u0300 2008, souffrait de proble\u0300mes de sante\u0301 depuis un certain temps.<\/p>\n

Le mois dernier, le gouvernement a de\u0301clare\u0301 qu’il recevait des soins me\u0301dicaux dans un ho\u0302pital de la capitale Gaborone, sans re\u0301ve\u0301ler la nature de sa maladie.<\/p>\n

Mogae, le troisie\u0300me pre\u0301sident du pays, est cre\u0301dite\u0301 d’avoir renforce\u0301 la gestion e\u0301conomique et les syste\u0300mes de gouvernance au Botswana pendant une pe\u0301riode de croissance rapide alimente\u0301e par les revenus des diamants.<\/p>\n

Dans son discours a\u0300 la nation vendredi, Masisi a salue\u0301 Mogae comme un leader “qui a maintenu la discipline, la bonne gouvernance et une gestion e\u0301conomique prudente, et a fait avancer la nation”.<\/p>\n

Il a ajoute\u0301: “Sous son mandat, le Botswana a gagne\u0301 le respect international gra\u0302ce a\u0300 son engagement envers un gouvernement base\u0301 sur des principes”.<\/p>\n

Masisi a de\u0301clare\u0301 un deuil national de trois jours, pendant lequel les drapeaux seront en berne en hommage a\u0300 l’ancien pre\u0301sident.<\/p>\n
