Africa-Press – Togo. <\/strong><\/span>Pour espe\u0301rer e\u0302tre aux commandes de son propre destin, il est primordial, pour l\u2019Afrique, de mener une re\u0301flexion strate\u0301gique sur l\u2019histoire violente de l\u2019esclavage et sur les lec\u0327ons qu\u2019elle inspire.<\/p>\n

A\u0300 l\u2019occasion de la\u00ab Journe\u0301e nationale des me\u0301moires de la traite, de l\u2019esclavage et de son abolition \u00bb, Caroline Lachowsky, dans son e\u0301mission, Autour de la question, a rec\u0327u, ce 10 mai, le philosophe Olivier Abel, qui vient d\u2019organiser a\u0300 Kinshasa un colloque sur le the\u0300me : \u00ab Me\u0301moires blesse\u0301es, promesses inacheve\u0301es \u00bb, autour de la pense\u0301e du philosophe Paul Ric\u0153ur. Cette e\u0301mission semble vous avoir particulie\u0300rement plu. Pourquoi donc ?<\/p>\n

Avant tout, c\u2019est en raison de la densite\u0301 du propos. Et, aussi, parce que ce colloque nous rame\u0300ne a\u0300 quelques douloureuses re\u0301alite\u0301s, que l\u2019Afrique ne devrait pas perdre de vue, si elle veut penser son avenir en toute lucidite\u0301, avec quelques chances de sortir de la re\u0301signation et des frustrations perpe\u0301tuelles. La France a instaure\u0301 cette journe\u0301e, depuis 2006, pour initier une re\u0301flexion civique sur le respect de la dignite\u0301 humaine et la notion de crime contre l\u2019humanite\u0301. Mais, elle retient cette date pour que ce pan douloureux de son histoire trouve une de\u0301finition juste, et la reconnaissance qu\u2019elle implique.<\/p>\n

L\u2019Afrique est concerne\u0301e par l\u2019esclavage a\u0300 une dimension autrement plus large, et les peuples africains sont dans l\u2019impossibilite\u0301 de dire ce que leurs leaders font des lec\u0327ons de cette me\u0302me histoire. Combien d\u2019e\u0301le\u0300ves africains savent comprendre l\u2019encheve\u0302trement, la continuite\u0301 qu\u2019il y a entre esclavage et colonisation ?<\/p>\n

En quoi consiste-t-elle, pre\u0301cise\u0301ment, cette continuite\u0301 ?<\/p>\n

La colonisation n\u2019est que le service apre\u0300s-vente de la traite ne\u0301grie\u0300re. A\u0300 la Confe\u0301rence de Berlin, l\u2019Europe s\u2019est re\u0301parti, en 1884-1885, ce qui restait de ce continent, de\u0301ja\u0300 vide\u0301 de son sang et de ses forces vives. Durant la colonisation, les diffe\u0301rents pouvoirs ont eu recours aux me\u0302mes pratiques que celles auxquelles e\u0301taient soumis les Noirs de\u0301porte\u0301s outre-Atlantique.<\/p>\n

Dans la quasi-totalite\u0301 des colonies d\u2019Afrique, les hommes e\u0301taient astreints a\u0300 ce que le colon, sans complexe, appelait les travaux force\u0301s. Lorsque vous faites travailler les gens a\u0300 la construction de chemins de fer, de wharfs et autres infrastructures visant a\u0300 faire prospe\u0301rer l\u2019entreprise colonial, et que vous ne les payez pas, qu\u2019est-ce donc, sinon de l\u2019esclavage ?<\/p>\n

L\u2019abolition dont on parle, en France, re\u0301sulte de la re\u0301volte des esclaves, qui a abouti a\u0300 la naissance de la premie\u0300re re\u0301publique noire de l\u2019Histoire : Hai\u0308ti. Un dangereux pre\u0301ce\u0301dent. Qui devait e\u0301chouer a\u0300 tout prix. Et il a e\u0301choue\u0301 ! Regardez donc l\u2019actualite\u0301 dramatique de ce pays ! Il aurait du\u0302 e\u0302tre un mode\u0300le pour les peuples africains, qui ont acce\u0301de\u0301 a\u0300 l\u2019inde\u0301pendance un sie\u0300cle et demi plus tard. Mais, 220 ans apre\u0300s, les Hai\u0308tiens n\u2019ont pas fini de payer pour ce pe\u0301che\u0301 originel.<\/p>\n

Qu\u2019en est-il de la responsabilite\u0301 des Hai\u0308tiens eux-me\u0302mes ?<\/p>\n

Elle n\u2019est pas immense. Elle est colossale ! C\u2019est un fait. Mais, comment taire tous les pie\u0300ges tendus a\u0300 cette jeune re\u0301publique, les fardeaux dont elle a e\u0301te\u0301 leste\u0301e… Il fallait s\u2019assurer que, jamais, elle ne puisse s\u2019en sortir.<\/p>\n

Voila\u0300 qui nous rame\u0300ne a\u0300 l\u2019Afrique. Oublions le propos de tout pouvoir colonial, qui consiste a\u0300 tenter de persuader les peuples colonise\u0301s du bonheur d\u2019avoir e\u0301te\u0301 dompte\u0301s. Mais, l\u2019esclavage, comme la colonisation, ge\u0301ne\u0300re l\u2019humiliation. Et l\u2019humiliation, comme le soulignait Olivier Abel dans l\u2019e\u0301mission, a des conse\u0301quences, des effets a\u0300 long terme. Et c\u2019est ainsi que re\u0301sonne dans les te\u0302tes cette interrogation puissante, du penseur anticolonial Paul Ric\u0153ur, prisonnier durant la guerre, qui se demandait, de\u0300s 1947 : \u00ab Et si moi, j\u2019e\u0301tais le nazi d\u2019un autre ? \u00bb \u00ab La condition coloniale a\u0300 laquelle nous soumettons les peuples de nos colonies n\u2019est-elle pas la me\u0302me chose que ce qu\u2019a voulu faire le nazisme chez nous ? \u00bb, se demandait-il.<\/p>\n

Mais, la compassion humaniste de Paul Ric\u0153ur ne saurait se substituer a\u0300 la re\u0301flexion strate\u0301gique que l\u2019Afrique se doit d\u2019avoir, elle-me\u0302me, par rapport a\u0300 cette histoire violente, aux lec\u0327ons qu\u2019elle inspire. Et c\u2019est primordial, si l\u2019Afrique veut e\u0302tre aux commandes de son propre destin.<\/p>\n
