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

L’Union europ\u00e9enne a reconnu son \u00e9chec \u00e0 maintenir un dialogue efficace avec les \u00c9tats du Sahel, tout en cherchant \u00e0 renouer des relations avec les autorit\u00e9s militaires. Ce repositionnement est crucial alors que la Russie renforce son influence dans la r\u00e9gion, notamment au Mali, au Burkina Faso et au Niger.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Africa-Press – Mali. <\/strong> <\/span>L\u2019Union europe\u0301enne a admis avoir e\u0301choue\u0301 a\u0300 maintenir un dialogue efficace avec plusieurs E\u0301tats du Sahel, tout en cherchant de\u0301sormais a\u0300 renouer des relations avec les autorite\u0301s militaires au pouvoir. Cette inflexion a e\u0301te\u0301 expose\u0301e par Joa\u0303o Cravinho, repre\u0301sentant spe\u0301cial de l\u2019UE pour le Sahel.<\/p>\n

Le diplomate reconnai\u0302t une perte d\u2019influence progressive de l\u2019Europe dans la re\u0301gion, alors que la Russie a renforce\u0301 sa pre\u0301sence se\u0301curitaire et politique, notamment au Mali, au Burkina Faso et au Niger.<\/p>\n

Des missions se\u0301curitaires progressivement abandonne\u0301es<\/b><\/p>\n

Depuis le de\u0301but des anne\u0301es 2010, l\u2019Union europe\u0301enne avait structure\u0301 son action autour d\u2019un dispositif combinant assistance militaire et soutien institutionnel. Des missions comme EUTM Mali, lance\u0301e en 2013, visaient a\u0300 former les forces arme\u0301es maliennes, tandis que les programmes EUCAP Sahel Niger et EUCAP Sahel Mali appuyaient les forces de se\u0301curite\u0301 inte\u0301rieure.<\/p>\n

Ce dispositif e\u0301tait comple\u0301te\u0301 par un soutien financier au G5 Sahel, dont la force conjointe devait coordonner la lutte contre les groupes arme\u0301s dans plusieurs pays de la re\u0301gion. La de\u0301gradation se\u0301curitaire et les changements de re\u0301gime ont conduit a\u0300 un de\u0301sengagement progressif. La France, principal acteur militaire europe\u0301en, a retire\u0301 ses troupes du Mali en 2022 apre\u0300s pre\u0300s de dix ans d\u2019ope\u0301rations, marquant un tournant pour l\u2019ensemble du dispositif europe\u0301en.<\/p>\n

Un repositionnement diplomatique en cours<\/b><\/p>\n

Face a\u0300 la rupture des relations avec le re\u0301gime d\u2019Assimi Goita, Bruxelles a suspendu une partie de ses coope\u0301rations, notamment celles conditionne\u0301es au respect de l\u2019ordre constitutionnel. Cette approche a contribue\u0301 a\u0300 fragiliser les canaux de communication avec les autorite\u0301s locales.<\/p>\n

Joa\u0303o Cravinho reconnai\u0302t de\u0301sormais des erreurs d\u2019appre\u0301ciation: \u00ab Nous n\u2019avons pas e\u0301te\u0301 capables d\u2019e\u0301couter et de comprendre correctement \u00bb, a-t-il de\u0301clare\u0301, e\u0301voquant un de\u0301ficit de dialogue et d\u2019explication des inte\u0301re\u0302ts europe\u0301ens dans la re\u0301gion.<\/p>\n

L\u2019UE tente aujourd\u2019hui de maintenir un contact avec les autorite\u0301s en place afin de pre\u0301server une pre\u0301sence diplomatique et e\u0301viter un isolement total face a\u0300 d\u2019autres partenaires exte\u0301rieurs, dont la Russie, mais aussi la Chine et l\u2019Iran.<\/p>\n

Ce changement de posture intervient alors que certaines missions europe\u0301ennes, comme EUTM Mali, ont vu leurs activite\u0301s suspendues ou fortement re\u0301duites depuis 2022, limitant la capacite\u0301 d\u2019action directe de l\u2019Union sur le terrain.<\/p>\n

Le mandat de Joa\u0303o Cravinho, entame\u0301 en novembre 2024, doit se poursuivre dans les prochains mois avec pour objectif affiche\u0301 de re\u0301tablir des canaux de coope\u0301ration ope\u0301rationnels dans une re\u0301gion ou\u0300 l\u2019influence europe\u0301enne reste en recul.<\/p>\n

Depuis le de\u0301but des anne\u0301es 2010, l’Union europe\u0301enne a mis en place des missions de soutien militaire et institutionnel au Sahel, notamment a\u0300 travers EUTM Mali. Cependant, la de\u0301gradation de la se\u0301curite\u0301 et les changements de re\u0301gime ont entrai\u0302ne\u0301 un de\u0301sengagement progressif des forces europe\u0301ennes, culminant avec le retrait des troupes franc\u0327aises en 2022. Ce contexte a fragilise\u0301 les relations entre l’UE et les gouvernements locaux, rendant ne\u0301cessaire un repositionnement diplomatique pour maintenir une pre\u0301sence en re\u0301gion.<\/p>\n
