<\/a><\/p>\nUn empire b\u00e2ti \u00e0 la force des bras
\nN\u00e9 en 1938 au Burkina Faso, Valentin Kinda quitte son pays natal \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 17 ans pour rejoindre Abidjan, alors en pleine expansion. Employ\u00e9 comme plongeur au domicile du directeur de la \u00ab Brasserie de France \u00bb, il gravit les \u00e9chelons durant quinze ann\u00e9es de labeur \u2014 blanchisseur, puis aide-cuisinier \u2014 avant de fonder, en 1970, une petite entreprise de restauration. Quinze ans plus tard, les \u00c9tablissements Valentin sont devenus un v\u00e9ritable empire. Sous sa direction, le groupe g\u00e9rait plusieurs enseignes : l\u2019h\u00f4tel-bar-restaurant Hibiscus \u00e0 Marcory, le restaurant Chez Valentin sur l\u2019avenue 16, et le snack La Bonne Cuisine \u00e0 Treichville. \u00c0 cela s\u2019ajoutaient des services de restauration dans de grandes structures comme la SIR, SHELL, la BAD, POSTEL 2001, ainsi que dans plusieurs \u00e9tablissements techniques \u00e0 Bassam et Yamoussoukro. Au total, pr\u00e8s d\u2019un demi-million de repas \u00e9taient servis chaque ann\u00e9e.<\/p>\n
Un meurtre en pleine lumi\u00e8re
\nLe soir du drame, un homme entre dans le bar de l\u2019h\u00f4tel Hibiscus. Il demande express\u00e9ment \u00e0 parler \u00e0 Valentin Kinda ou \u00e0 son bras droit, Macaire Ou\u00e9draogo. Apr\u00e8s un bref \u00e9change, Kinda accepte de le rencontrer. Quelques minutes plus tard, alors qu\u2019il raccompagne l\u2019inconnu vers la sortie, celui-ci sort un pistolet calibre .38 et ouvre le feu \u00e0 bout portant. Trois balles atteignent Kinda au c\u0153ur. Il s\u2019effondre. Le tueur s\u2019\u00e9chappe aussit\u00f4t \u00e0 bord d\u2019une Toyota Cressida, conduite par des complices.<\/p>\n
Une piste politique br\u00fblante
\nLes autorit\u00e9s excluent rapidement l\u2019hypoth\u00e8se d\u2019un simple braquage. Selon la presse locale, les circonstances laissent penser \u00e0 un assassinat commandit\u00e9. La tension monte lorsque le nom de Macaire Ou\u00e9draogo refait surface. Ancien candidat \u00e0 la pr\u00e9sidence de la Haute-Volta (l\u2019actuel Burkina Faso) en 1978 et opposant notoire au r\u00e9gime en place, Ou\u00e9draogo aurait pu \u00eatre la v\u00e9ritable cible. Pour les enqu\u00eateurs ivoiriens, la piste d\u2019une implication \u00e9trang\u00e8re \u2014 et en particulier burkinab\u00e8 \u2014 devient une hypoth\u00e8se s\u00e9rieuse.<\/p>\n
Furieux, le gouvernement burkinab\u00e8 exige des preuves et somme la C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire de cesser les accusations jug\u00e9es \u00ab gratuites \u00bb. En retour, Abidjan r\u00e9torque n\u2019avoir \u00ab de le\u00e7ons \u00e0 recevoir de personne \u00bb. Quelques jours plus tard, Ouagadougou rappelle son ambassadeur. La tension diplomatique est \u00e0 son comble.<\/p>\n
L\u2019h\u00e9ritage d\u2019un pionnier.
\nQuatre d\u00e9cennies se sont \u00e9coul\u00e9es, et l\u2019enqu\u00eate n\u2019a jamais abouti. Mais dans la m\u00e9moire collective ivoirienne, Valentin Kinda demeure le symbole d\u2019une r\u00e9ussite arrach\u00e9e \u00e0 la sueur et au courage. Il a prouv\u00e9 qu\u2019un immigr\u00e9 pouvait b\u00e2tir un empire culinaire, avec pour seule arme son ardeur au travail.
