<\/a><\/p>\nSi l’ombre du colonel Mouammar Kadhafi plane sur la formation id\u00e9ologique et militaire de Charles Taylor, ce dernier n’aurait jamais pu maintenir sa r\u00e9bellion sans des complicit\u00e9s r\u00e9gionales imm\u00e9diates. Pour contourner les embargos et acheminer ses troupes, le chef du Front National Patriotique du Liberia a tiss\u00e9 une toile d’alliances strat\u00e9giques avec plusieurs chefs d’\u00c9tat d’Afrique de l’Ouest.
\nVoici le r\u00e9cit d\u00e9taill\u00e9 et narratif des pr\u00e9sidents et des pays qui, par ambition g\u00e9opolitique ou rivalit\u00e9s personnelles, ont propuls\u00e9 et soutenu l’ascension de Charles Taylor.<\/p>\n
La C\u00f4te d’Ivoire de F\u00e9lix Houphou\u00ebt-Boigny : La base arri\u00e8re et la vengeance personnelle
\nLe soutien le plus d\u00e9cisif et le plus imm\u00e9diat \u00e0 la r\u00e9bellion de Charles Taylor est venu d’Abidjan. Le pr\u00e9sident ivoirien F\u00e9lix Houphou\u00ebt-Boigny est devenu le parrain r\u00e9gional du Front National Patriotique du Liberia pour des raisons m\u00ealant haute politique et drame familial.
\nLa ranc\u0153ur familiale : En 1980, le pr\u00e9sident lib\u00e9rien William Tolbert est sauvagement assassin\u00e9 lors d\u2019un coup d’\u00c9tat men\u00e9 par le sergent Samuel Doe. Or, le fils de William Tolbert, A.B. Tolbert, \u00e9tait mari\u00e9 \u00e0 Daisy Delafosse, la fille adoptive et ni\u00e8ce ador\u00e9e de F\u00e9lix Houphou\u00ebt-Boigny. Malgr\u00e9 les supplications du pr\u00e9sident ivoirien, Samuel Doe fait ex\u00e9cuter le jeune homme. Houphou\u00ebt-Boigny ne pardonnera jamais ce meurtre au dictateur lib\u00e9rien.
\nLe sanctuaire et le transit : Lorsque Charles Taylor lance son offensive le 24 d\u00e9cembre 1989, ses troupes p\u00e9n\u00e8trent au Liberia depuis le territoire ivoirien, en traversant la fronti\u00e8re poreuse du c\u00f4t\u00e9 de Danan\u00e9. Pendant des ann\u00e9es, la C\u00f4te d’Ivoire servira de base arri\u00e8re humanitaire et logistique pour les rebelles, facilitant le transit de marchandises, de carburant et de cadres politiques, tout en fermant les yeux sur le commerce transfrontalier qui finan\u00e7ait la guerre.<\/p>\n
Le Burkina Faso de Blaise Compaor\u00e9 : Le bras arm\u00e9 et les fili\u00e8res de mercenaires
\nSi la C\u00f4te d’Ivoire offrait le territoire de transit, le Burkina Faso du pr\u00e9sident Blaise Compaor\u00e9 a fourni les hommes et le savoir-faire militaire indispensable aux premiers succ\u00e8s de la r\u00e9bellion.
\nL’axe de Tripoli : Blaise Compaor\u00e9, arriv\u00e9 au pouvoir en 1987, entretenait d’excellentes relations avec le colonel Mouammar Kadhafi. C’est tout naturellement que le Burkina Faso s’est impos\u00e9 comme le pivot logistique de l’aide libyenne.
\nLes \u00ab\u00a0volontaires\u00a0\u00bb burkinab\u00e9s : Des centaines de soldats et de mercenaires burkinab\u00e9s, aguerris et parfaitement entra\u00een\u00e9s, ont \u00e9t\u00e9 envoy\u00e9s sur le terrain pour encadrer les recrues de Charles Taylor et participer directement aux combats contre les forces de Samuel Doe. En \u00e9change, ce soutien offrait au r\u00e9gime de Ouagadougou un acc\u00e8s privil\u00e9gi\u00e9 aux r\u00e9seaux financiers et, plus tard, aux ressources mini\u00e8res de la r\u00e9gion, consolidant la puissance financi\u00e8re de l’entourage pr\u00e9sidentiel.<\/p>\n
Le r\u00f4le ambigu des r\u00e9seaux internationaux et le trafic des ressources
\nAu-del\u00e0 des soutiens \u00e9tatiques africains, la r\u00e9bellion de Charles Taylor a b\u00e9n\u00e9fici\u00e9 de la complaisance, voire de la complicit\u00e9 active, de r\u00e9seaux d’affaires internationaux. Pour acheter des armes, Taylor avait besoin de devises. Il a transform\u00e9 les territoires sous son contr\u00f4le (surnomm\u00e9s \u00e0 l’\u00e9poque la \u00ab\u00a0Taylorland\u00a0\u00bb) en une v\u00e9ritable \u00e9conomie de comptoir.
\nDes entreprises europ\u00e9ennes et asiatiques ont continu\u00e9 d’acheter du bois pr\u00e9cieux et du caoutchouc provenant des zones rebelles, fournissant des millions de dollars de revenus directs au Front National Patriotique du Liberia. De plus, la France et d’autres puissances occidentales ont longtemps maintenu une diplomatie prudente, voyant initialement dans la chute du dictateur Samuel Doe une issue in\u00e9vitable, avant que la barbarie du conflit ne devienne impossible \u00e0 ignorer.<\/p>\n
L’histoire du soutien \u00e0 Charles Taylor d\u00e9montre que les guerres civiles ne naissent jamais en vase clos. Sans les bases arri\u00e8re ivoiriennes, les troupes burkinab\u00e9s et les circuits commerciaux internationaux, la r\u00e9bellion lib\u00e9rienne n’aurait probablement \u00e9t\u00e9 qu’une escarmouche frontali\u00e8re vite \u00e9touff\u00e9e.
\nLa diplomatie des relations personnelles et des ranc\u0153urs familiales vous semble-t-elle encore dicter certaines alliances politiques en Afrique aujourd’hui ? Comment analysez-vous le r\u00f4le de la C\u00f4te d’Ivoire et du Burkina Faso dans cette crise historique ?<\/p>\n
