Africa-Press. <\/strong> <\/span>La Cour de cassation en Belgique a rendu un jugement final condamnant l’E\u0301tat belge dans l’affaire de l’enle\u0300vement d’enfants d’ascendance mixte durant la pe\u0301riode coloniale belge au Congo.<\/p>\n

La cour a rejete\u0301, dans son jugement rendu hier vendredi, le recours introduit par l’E\u0301tat belge contre le jugement initial rendu en de\u0301cembre 2024, qui avait condamne\u0301 les autorite\u0301s belges pour avoir arrache\u0301 des enfants a\u0300 leurs me\u0300res durant la pe\u0301riode coloniale.<\/p>\n

Conforme\u0301ment a\u0300 la de\u0301cision, la Belgique devra verser des compensations financie\u0300res a\u0300 cinq femmes victimes, d’un montant de 50 000 euros chacune.<\/p>\n

L’avocate des victimes, Miche\u0300le Hirsch, a de\u0301clare\u0301 que ce jugement repre\u0301sente “la premie\u0300re condamnation d’un E\u0301tat europe\u0301en pour un crime contre l’humanite\u0301 commis durant la colonisation.”<\/p>\n

Les cinq femmes, qui ont plus de soixante-dix ans, avaient de\u0301pose\u0301 plainte en 2020 pour obtenir cette compensation.<\/p>\n

Le 2 de\u0301cembre 2024, la Cour d’appel de Bruxelles a annule\u0301 le jugement de premie\u0300re instance, conside\u0301rant que les faits ne sont pas prescrits.<\/p>\n

La cour a e\u0301galement qualifie\u0301 les enle\u0300vements syste\u0301matiques d’enfants d’ascendance mixte de “crime contre l’humanite\u0301”, en raison de la cible des enfants base\u0301e sur leurs origines raciales.<\/p>\n

Il s’agit du premier dossier judiciaire en Belgique mettant en lumie\u0300re le sort des enfants d’ascendance mixte ne\u0301s dans les anciennes colonies belges, a\u0300 savoir le Congo, le Rwanda et le Burundi.<\/p>\n

La plupart de ces enfants n’e\u0301taient pas reconnus par leurs pe\u0300res blancs et e\u0301taient conside\u0301re\u0301s comme n’appartenant ni a\u0300 la communaute\u0301 blanche ni a\u0300 la communaute\u0301 africaine.<\/p>\n

Les cinq femmes sont ne\u0301es entre 1945 et 1950 de relations entre des hommes blancs et des femmes africaines dans l’ancienne colonie belge du Congo, aujourd’hui connue sous le nom de Re\u0301publique de\u0301mocratique du Congo.<\/p>\n

Lorsque leur a\u0302ge e\u0301tait compris entre deux et quatre ans, elles ont e\u0301te\u0301 arrache\u0301es de force a\u0300 leurs familles maternelles et transfe\u0301re\u0301es dans des institutions souvent ge\u0301re\u0301es par l’E\u0301glise catholique.<\/p>\n

Les victimes ont de\u0301clare\u0301 avoir subi des mauvais traitements et des abus au sein de ces institutions.<\/p>\n

La Cour d’appel a confirme\u0301 que les cinq femmes “ont e\u0301te\u0301 arrache\u0301es a\u0300 leurs me\u0300res sans leur consentement avant l’a\u0302ge de sept ans, dans le cadre d’un plan syste\u0301matique mis en \u0153uvre par l’E\u0301tat belge pour rechercher et enlever les enfants d’ascendance mixte.”<\/p>\n

La cour a ajoute\u0301 que la cible e\u0301tait “uniquement en raison de leurs origines.”<\/p>\n

Le gouvernement belge avait reconnu en 2019 ce qu’il a qualifie\u0301 de “se\u0301paration raciste cible\u0301e” subie par les enfants d’ascendance mixte dans les anciennes colonies.<\/p>\n

Les autorite\u0301s belges ont e\u0301galement admis qu’il y avait eu une “perte d’identite\u0301” en raison de la se\u0301paration des fre\u0300res et s\u0153urs, y compris lors du transfert de certains enfants en Belgique apre\u0300s l’inde\u0301pendance du Congo.<\/p>\n
