Africa-Press – Senegal. <\/strong><\/span>Le magazine franc\u0327ais Jeune Afrique a mis en lumie\u0300re Yunus-Bek Yevkurov, ancien pre\u0301sident de la Re\u0301publique d’Ingouchie, nomme\u0301 par Vladimir Poutine vice-ministre de la De\u0301fense de la Russie, le qualifiant de figure centrale dans la strate\u0301gie de Moscou en Afrique.<\/p>\n

Depuis 2023, Yevkurov rencontre des chefs d’E\u0301tat et des ministres, s’imposant comme le chef du groupe Wagner et du \u00ab\u00a0Le\u0301gion d’Afrique\u00a0\u00bb, ainsi que comme un repre\u0301sentant cle\u0301 de la diplomatie militaire du Kremlin.<\/p>\n

Le journaliste Matthieu Olivier identifie 10 points essentiels pour comprendre l’importance de cette personnalite\u0301 militaire jouant un ro\u0302le majeur en Afrique.<\/p>\n

Origines en Osse\u0301tie du Nord<\/b><\/p>\n

Yunus-Bek Yevkurov est ne\u0301 en 1963 en Osse\u0301tie du Nord, dans une famille de 12 enfants, et a rec\u0327u son e\u0301ducation a\u0300 Beslan, la troisie\u0300me plus grande ville de la re\u0301publique apre\u0300s Vladikavkaz et Mozdok.<\/p>\n

Acade\u0301mie de Riazan<\/b><\/p>\n

D’apre\u0300s Jeune Afrique, Yevkurov s’est engage\u0301 dans les forces de marine sovie\u0301tiques en 1982, avant de choisir une carrie\u0300re militaire. En 1989, il obtient son diplo\u0302me de l’e\u0301cole supe\u0301rieure des commandants de troupes ae\u0301roporte\u0301es a\u0300 Riazan, une institution lie\u0301e au ministe\u0300re russe de la De\u0301fense, situe\u0301e a\u0300 environ 200 km au sud-est de Moscou.<\/p>\n

He\u0301ros de Russie<\/b><\/p>\n

Le magazine pre\u0301cise que Yevkurov a servi dans plusieurs conflits a\u0300 l’e\u0301tranger, notamment en Afghanistan, en Tche\u0301tche\u0301nie et au Kosovo. Il a dirige\u0301 l’attaque contre l’ae\u0301roport de Pristina le 12 juin 1999, sur ordre du pre\u0301sident Boris Eltsine, dans une ope\u0301ration secre\u0300te visant a\u0300 atteindre l’ae\u0301roport avant une unite\u0301 britannique de l’OTAN.<\/p>\n

Cet exploit lui a valu le titre de \u00ab\u00a0He\u0301ros de la Russie\u00a0\u00bb, la plus haute distinction nationale du pays.<\/p>\n

Renseignements militaires<\/b><\/p>\n

Apre\u0300s son retour du Kosovo, Yevkurov a participe\u0301 a\u0300 la guerre en Tche\u0301tche\u0301nie en 2000, avant de poursuivre sa carrie\u0300re militaire et de sortir diplo\u0302me\u0301 en 2004 de l’Acade\u0301mie de l’e\u0301tat-major ge\u0301ne\u0301ral des forces arme\u0301es russes, qui forme les hauts responsables militaires de la Russie.<\/p>\n

Il commence alors a\u0300 travailler au sein de l’administration ge\u0301ne\u0301rale des renseignements militaires (GRU).<\/p>\n

Pre\u0301sident de l’Ingouchie<\/b><\/p>\n

En octobre 2008, Moscou nomme Yevkurov pre\u0301sident de la Re\u0301publique d’Ingouchie, une re\u0301gion du sud-ouest de la Russie, situe\u0301e dans le Caucase.<\/p>\n

Tentative d’assassinat<\/b><\/p>\n

Le 22 juin 2009, Yevkurov est victime d’une tentative d’assassinat a\u0300 Nalchik, la plus grande ville d’Ingouchie, qui fait plusieurs victimes parmi ses collaborateurs.<\/p>\n

Affaire Wagner<\/b><\/p>\n

Le rapport de Jeune Afrique indique que Yevkurov a de\u0301missionne\u0301 de son poste de pre\u0301sident de l’Ingouchie le 24 juin 2019. Il a e\u0301te\u0301 charge\u0301 de ne\u0301gocier avec Yevgeny Prigozhin, le leader du groupe Wagner, pour mettre fin a\u0300 la re\u0301bellion lance\u0301e par les combattants de Wagner contre l’arme\u0301e russe en juin 2023. Les ne\u0301gociations ont permis de mettre fin a\u0300 cette re\u0301bellion.<\/p>\n

Sanctions occidentales<\/b><\/p>\n

Comme de nombreux hauts responsables militaires russes, Yevkurov a e\u0301te\u0301 inscrit, depuis fe\u0301vrier 2022, sur les listes de sanctions des E\u0301tats-Unis, de l’Union europe\u0301enne et de plusieurs autres pays occidentaux, pour son implication dans les violations de l’inte\u0301grite\u0301 territoriale de l’Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Gestion de Wagner<\/b><\/p>\n

Depuis mi-2023, Yevkurov, en collaboration avec les services de renseignement militaire russes, a pris en charge la gestion de la reconque\u0302te du groupe Wagner, notamment de ses activite\u0301s en Afrique. Il a organise\u0301 des visites remarque\u0301es dans plusieurs pays africains, avec une fre\u0301quence accrue apre\u0300s la mort de Prigozhin en aou\u0302t 2023.<\/p>\n

Jeune Afrique pre\u0301cise que Yevkurov est l’une des principales figures derrie\u0300re la mise en place du Le\u0301gion d’Afrique, une structure visant a\u0300 inte\u0301grer les branches du groupe Wagner au sein du ministe\u0300re de la De\u0301fense russe.<\/p>\n

Ge\u0301ne\u0301ral en 2024<\/b><\/p>\n

Jeune Afrique confirme que Yevkurov a e\u0301te\u0301 promu ge\u0301ne\u0301ral a\u0300 la fin de l’anne\u0301e 2024, devenant l’un des visages les plus marquants de la strate\u0301gie africaine de Vladimir Poutine.<\/p>\n
