The party has been reduced to playing second fiddle in its own supposed opposition role, thanks in no small way to the political havoc wrecked by the FCT Minister and immediate past Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, who has unwittingly turned the PDP into a willing support arm for the ruling APC.With the recent look of things and how the system is, can Goodluck Jonathan be the Trump card in Nigeria's politics come 2027?The conversation will go on live on Let's Talk as Richard Badung hosts Longkat Ephraim.

Life sometimes has a funny way of turning out. Sometimes a dire situation presents itself and the outcome is much better than we could have ever imagined. In this particular case, it took a mother to show her true love, courage and support and possibly willingly risk jail time to prove  to her son that she loved him with her whole heart.  While convalescing at home, Chisom finally was courageous enough to come out to his loving parents. Bedridden and home bound after his initial collapse, he was convinced it was time to open up to his parents about his sexuality. At a most vulnerable time in his life, he was scared and nervous about telling his parents the truth, that he was gay.  He was certain that both his parents loved him unconditionally but  was afraid this was going to be too much for them.  "Knowing that my parents loved me so much, made it that much easier to come out to them and be open with them," added Chisom. His mother's response was " I know, I've always known," says my guest.On a grander scale, writing a personal essay about being a member of the LGBTQ community and  having his story published in the NY Times Modern Love Column was frighting.  Possibly the whole world could read it and find out the truth, that Chisom was a member of the gay community. Chisom's essay is an endearing story of his parent's love for their son. His mother, who's name is Gift, is exceptionally open and honest and loving of her son, regardless of his sexual preference. One can only hope, that everyone struggling with coming out to their loved ones, will receive the same openness and acceptance.Chisom's message to his mother "You are a rock star.

In 2015 Goodluck Jonathan became the first Nigerian president to concede election defeat. It allowed the transfer of power to the opposition party in Africa's biggest democracy - a country that had hitherto experienced vote-rigging and violence. His special adviser on media and publicity Dr Reuben Abati tells Josephine McDermott about the moment when the president phoned his opponent Muhammadu Bahari to congratulate him on winning the election.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

As we all delve deeper into the neoliberal vortex, a common coping mechanism is the tendency to look back nostalgically at the “good old days" — wishing for a return of bygone eras when more ‘competent', ‘kind hearted' or ‘decisive' leaders held the reins. While romanticizing past presidents appears to be a global phenomenon, there is a particular version in Nigeria that is especially sickening — insofar as the leaders in question (those that held power during the 4th Republic [1999 — present]) were among the architects of the current madness. All this begs the question: why are we so quick to forgive and forget with past presidents? Why the sudden pining for the return of Goodluck Jonathan? We examined the habit of romanticizing past tenures and why people struggle to situate bygone leaders within a policy and ideological trajectory. We also try to understand why presidents loom so large in Nigerian public discourse relative to, say, finance ministers… And then finally, after all our grammar, we succumb to the stupid game and each reveal our own rankings of the worst presidents in the 4th Republic. Stick around to the end to find out who is Mege's least favorite, and let us know what you think/if you agree.

En Côte d'Ivoire, le pouvoir ne semble pas vouloir donner suite à la demande de l'opposition d'ouvrir un dialogue inclusif sur ce qu'elle appelle les « défaillances » du système électoral. Par ailleurs, le pouvoir laisse aux députés d'opposition la responsabilité de déposer ou non une proposition de loi en faveur de l'amnistie des opposants qui, à l'heure actuelle, ne peuvent pas être candidats à la présidentielle d'octobre 2025. Amadou Coulibaly est ministre de la Communication et porte-parole du gouvernement ivoirien. Il répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. Et tout d'abord, il s'exprime sur la deuxième édition du SICA, le Salon international du contenu audiovisuel, qui s'ouvre demain, mardi 5 novembre, à Abidjan. RFI : En Afrique, l'industrie audiovisuelle est dominée par deux pays anglophones : le Nigeria et l'Afrique du Sud. Quelle est votre ambition ? Amadou Coulibaly : Notre ambition est de positionner la Côte d'Ivoire, pays francophone, justement, dans cette industrie audiovisuelle et cinématographique. Nous pensons que nous en avons les moyens. Nous avons les infrastructures qu'il faut, nous avons les hommes qu'il faut, nous avons le matériel qu'il faut. Il est important, donc, que la Côte d'Ivoire qui, pendant longtemps, a été la plaque tournante de la musique au niveau du continent, puisse occuper également cette place au niveau du cinéma et de l'audiovisuel. Telle est notre ambition donc.Alors concrètement, le SICA, le salon qui s'ouvre mardi 5 novembre va réunir quelque 250 professionnels.Oui.Donnez-nous un peu leur profil ? Qu'est-ce que vous attendez d'eux ? Ce salon va réunir aussi bien des producteurs, des réalisateurs que des acteurs et des acheteurs. Nous voulons constituer un marché qui va permettre justement de pouvoir échanger des marchandises entre réalisateurs, producteurs et différents acheteurs. Nous avons pratiquement une trentaine de chaînes de télé qui seront présentes, aussi bien des chaînes africaines que des chaînes européennes ou américaines, comme Natyf TV du Canada et TV5 Monde, Canal+. On aura aussi des speakers. Nous aurons Alex Berger, producteur de la série à succès Le bureau des légendes. Nous aurons aussi un producteur turc qui vient, Isef, qui va nous partager son expérience. Donc, c'est quasiment le monde qui se retrouve. Nous avons plus d'une vingtaine de nationalités qui seront présentes donc en Côte d'Ivoire à l'occasion de ce SICA. Au Nigeria, le succès de Nollywood, c'est-à-dire du cinéma local, doit beaucoup aux aides de l'État. Par exemple, en 2010, le président Goodluck Jonathan a lancé un fonds d'intervention de quelque 200 millions de dollars avec l'aide de deux banques nigérianes. Qu'est-ce que peut faire l'État ivoirien pour ses producteurs, pour ses réalisateurs ? L'État a déjà pris des initiatives, il s'agit maintenant d'augmenter ces initiatives de l'État. Au niveau du cinéma par exemple, il y a le Fonsic, qui est le Fonds de soutien à l'industrie cinématographique. Au niveau de l'audiovisuel, il y a les compétences de l'ASDM, qui est l'Agence de soutien au développement des médias, qui a été élargie pour prendre en compte la production audiovisuelle. Justement, l'ambition du SICA, c'est de faire participer le privé. Vous faites bien de souligner qu'au Nigeria, c'est avec l'aide de deux banques privées que l'État a pu décupler son soutien à l'industrie cinématographique. Donc, nous voulons faire connaître cet écosystème au secteur privé, notamment aux banques, assurances et autres sociétés privées, afin qu'elles viennent soutenir l'État dans cette initiative. D'ailleurs, nous aurons deux panels sur les financements : un panel avec les financements publics et des acteurs publics comme le Fonsic, l'ASDM et la BNI, qui est une banque publique, et un autre panel exclusivement réservé aux banques privées, panel qui sera animé par un avocat d'affaires. Selon un récent rapport de l'Unesco, le secteur de l'audiovisuel et du cinéma représente déjà en Afrique quelque 5 millions d'emplois. Quelle est votre ambition ? Il faut que la Côte d'Ivoire puisse faire du cinéma un secteur qui soit véritablement pourvoyeur d'emplois et créateur de richesse. Les quelques indications que nous avons au niveau du pays indiquent que ce secteur contribue à environ 3% au PIB. Nous avons l'ambition de faire augmenter cette contribution au PIB. Et au moment où le chef de l'État a décrété donc une année de la jeunesse, nous pensons que le cinéma peut également apporter sa contribution en termes de création d'emplois pour les jeunes. Donc le cinéma et l'audiovisuel ont leur place et nous ambitionnons donc de l'occuper pleinement. Mais ne faut-il pas pour cela qu'il y ait des narratifs africains qui intéressant les producteurs internationaux ? Vous êtes là en plein cœur d'une des raisons pour lesquelles nous organisons ce SICA. Oui, l'Afrique a un narratif à proposer au monde et les échanges que vont faciliter le SICA vont permettre à l'Afrique de proposer ce narratif. Mais nous restons ouverts. C'est pourquoi nous parlons d'échange. En termes d'échange, nous avons par exemple une coproduction africaine et européenne qui est aujourd'hui sur une plateforme. Et je veux parler de Bienvenue au Gondwana, tourné en Côte d'Ivoire et en France avec des acteurs français, des acteurs ivoiriens et des producteurs français, je parle des frères Altmayer. Donc, vous voyez, il y a une collaboration qui est possible et le SICA veut être la plateforme qui ouvre cette collaboration, qui tient compte du narratif africain. Amadou Coulibaly, vous voulez aussi que la Côte d'Ivoire devienne un lieu de tournage incontournable. Mais vous savez bien que, quand un producteur cherche un pays pour tourner, la première question qu'il se pose, c'est combien ça coûte ? Alors s'il vient chez vous, est-ce qu'il va devoir payer des droits de douane et des taxes ?Déjà, ce qu'il faut savoir, c'est qu'avec la politique mise en place par le président de la République, l'investissement en Côte d'Ivoire est très incitatif. Il y a des dispositions qui ont été prises pour rendre attractif le pays. Mais je suis d'accord avec vous que le secteur de l'audiovisuel reste un secteur particulier et nous sommes en train de travailler de façon à mettre en place un dispositif qui soit adapté à ce secteur-là, de sorte à pouvoir exonérer tous ceux qui sont intéressés à venir tourner en Côte d'Ivoire. Donc, exonérés de certains frais. Nous y travaillons et très bientôt, nous ferons une proposition au gouvernement pour que notre pays soit encore plus attractif du point de vue du cinéma et de l'audiovisuel.Tout à fait autre chose, monsieur le ministre. Le 21 septembre, 15 partis politiques de l'opposition, dont le PDCI de Tidjane Thiam, ont écrit au gouvernement pour lui demander d'ouvrir un dialogue inclusif afin de « corriger les défaillances du système électoral ». Qu'est-ce que vous répondez ? Je voudrais rappeler que nous avons eu une dernière phase du dialogue politique qui a été ouvert de décembre 2021 à mars 2022. Au cours de cette phase, l'un des premiers points qui a rencontré l'adhésion de toutes les parties, ça a été de dire que, aujourd'hui dans notre pays, les institutions sont toutes installées et fonctionnent normalement. Il a été convenu que toutes les questions relevant du fonctionnement de certaines institutions leur soient adressées. Nous sommes aujourd'hui un État véritablement démocratique, nous sommes un État de droit. Je peux comprendre que, à une certaine époque, on s'en référait au tout-puissant président de la République, mais aujourd'hui les institutions fonctionnent. Donc, moi, j'inviterai l'opposition, pour certaines de leurs préoccupations, à s'adresser aux institutions qui en ont la charge, et, relativement à cette question, je pense que l'opposition peut s'adresser à la Commission électorale indépendante. L'opposition affirme que dans sa composition, la CEI, la Commission électorale indépendante, n'est ni équilibrée ni impartiale. Est-ce que vous seriez prêt à envisager une réforme de cette CEI ? Je rappelle, en citant ce dernier dialogue politique, que c'est à l'issue de celui-ci que le PPA-CI [de Laurent Gbagbo] a intégré la Commission électorale indépendante. C'est donc dire que tout peut se régler au niveau de la Commission électorale indépendante. Mais je pense qu'il n'est pas juste de prétendre que cette Commission n'est pas équilibrée. Au contraire, l'opposition y est majoritaire, puisqu'ils ont cinq représentants et la société civile en a six, dont deux du barreau et un de la magistrature. Évidemment, elle a beau jeu de dire que le représentant du chef de l'État ou du ministère de l'Intérieur sont proches du pouvoir, mais je rappelle que, lorsque Laurent Gbagbo était au pouvoir, il avait un représentant aussi bien de la présidence et un représentant du ministère de l'Intérieur. Ce sont des dispositions qui existaient bien avant que le RHDP n'arrive au pouvoir. Vendredi dernier, sur RFI et France 24, vous avez pu entendre l'opposant Charles Blé Goudé qui lançait un appel au président Ouattara pour qu'il fasse passer une loi sur l'amnistie afin que lui-même puisse être candidat l'an prochain. Pensez-vous que cela est envisageable ? Une fois de plus, je le répète, nous sommes un État de droit où toutes les institutions sont installées ou fonctionnent. Je suis toujours surpris qu'aujourd'hui, on veuille toujours en revenir au chef de l'État, alors qu'il y a des institutions qui fonctionnent. L'Assemblée nationale est le lieu où on peut faire également des propositions de loi. Il me semble que l'opposition est très bien représentée à l'Assemblée nationale. Elle pourra bien sûr introduire une proposition de loi à ce niveau, parce que les lois que le chef de l'État peut prendre sont encadrées aujourd'hui. Et est-ce que le RHDP au pouvoir serait prêt à voter une telle proposition de loi ? Mais il faut que déjà elle arrive sur la table de l'Assemblée. Et après ? Et après, le jeu démocratique va s'imposer et puis il appartiendra aux députés, qui sont les députés de la nation, une fois qu'ils ont voté, de juger de l'opportunité d'adopter cette loi ou pas.

The Electoral Commission of South Africa hopes to maintain its track record of running free and fair elections. International observers are adamant that this will be the case. They say there is a lot to learn from South Africa. Former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan is leading the Electoral Institute for Sustainable Democracy for Africa to observe elections in South Africa. The former statesman has vast experience in observing elections as he has led many missions since he left office.

People are trapped under rubble in the Lagos church compound. The eyes of the world are now on TB Joshua. Beneath the collapsed building is 23-year-old Princess, from South Africa. Her mother says she's told: “just pray”. Disciple Emmanuel goes to the scene. “You could hear people, and their voices are fading. From louder, it's getting weaker.” As suspicion about the cause of the collapse intensifies, Nigeria's president, Goodluck Jonathan, flies in to offer his condolences to TB Joshua and the bereaved families.

Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission says a federal high court has ordered the final seizure of properties owned by former petroleum resources minister Diezani Alison-Madueke. This is the latest court ruling related to corruption allegations against her - charges she denies. Ms. Alison-Madueke served as Nigeria's petroleum minister between 2010 and 2015 and was a key figure in the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan. The assets being seized include houses and cars worth $3m.

Pas de décisions immédiates hier (samedi 4 juin) à Accra (au Ghana), mais les chefs d'État de la Cédéao ont demandé aux juntes militaires de Guinée, du Mali et du Burkina Faso de faire des avancées d'ici le prochain sommet prévu dans un mois, le 3 juillet. Jean-Claude Kassi Brou préside la commission de la Cédéao. Au micro de Christophe Boisbouvier, il explique à quelles conditions le Mali pourra voir alléger les sanctions et à quelles conditions le Burkina Faso pourra y échapper. Rfi: Pas de nouvelles décisions sur le Mali, le Burkina Faso et la Guinée, peut-on parler d'un sommet pour rien ? Jean-Claude Kassi Brou: Non, pas du tout. Ce n'est pas du tout un sommet pour rien. Je commence d'abord par le Burkina Faso. Vous savez que le 25 mars 2022, il y a eu un sommet extraordinaire qui avait examiné la situation du Burkina et qui avait estimé que le chronogramme de la transition, de 36 mois, décidé initialement, n'était pas acceptable. Il avait donc décidé de sanctions économiques et financières qui devaient prendre effet le 25 avril s'il n'y avait pas de progrès. Les autorités ont alors indiqué à la Cédéao qu'elles souhaitaient avoir une mission d'évaluation pour voir la situation du pays, en matière humanitaire et sécuritaire. Cette mission a eu lieu et ce rapport a été présenté au sommet. Cette initiative a fait que les sanctions n'ont pas été appliquées et, aujourd'hui, le sommet a pu réexaminer la situation et a pris note des avancées faites dans le domaine de la sécurité. Les progrès en termes de sécurité dans certaines localités ont permis le retour de certains déplacés mais, tout de même, on note que la situation sécuritaire reste encore très difficile. Le sommet a donc demandé que les efforts se poursuivent et que la situation du Burkina soit réexaminée le 3 juillet. Trois ans, c'est trop ? Oui, c'est trop ! Le sommet a dit clairement que ce n'était pas acceptable, qu'il fallait revoir le calendrier, en avoir un beaucoup plus acceptable. On parle d'une médiation éventuelle de l'ancien président du Niger, Mahamdou Issoufou. Oui, ça a été également une décision du sommet. Je crois que cela avait déjà été évoqué, il y a trois mois, et le sommet a désigné le président Mahamadou Issoufou pour prendre la tête de la médiation, pour faciliter le retour à l'ordre constitutionnel. Sur le Mali, ce samedi midi, de retour de Bamako, le médiateur nigérian Goodluck Jonathan vous a donné un schéma de sortie de crise. Quel est ce schéma ?   Il y a eu effectivement une visite du médiateur qui a fait son rapport. Vous savez que la Cédéao avait indiqué qu'une transition de 12 à 16 mois était suffisante mais les autorités maliennes avaient estimé qu'elles avaient besoin de 24 mois. On avait déjà fait un gros effort de rapprochement parce que, si vous vous rappelez, on était parti de pratiquement 5 ans au départ et 12 mois, donc malgré les progrès, on n'y était pas encore. Le sommet a demandé au médiateur d'essayer de finaliser les discussions pour permettre une levée progressive des sanctions. C'est-à-dire que le médiateur va retourner à Bamako pour voir si un compromis est possible entre 24 et 16 mois, d'ici le 3 juillet ? Il y a eu des progrès, je pense qu'il y a eu des avancées, mais une fois qu'on aura l'accord complet, il y aura la levée des sanctions. Il y aura un mécanisme de suivi qui va être mis en place pour aider nos frères maliens dans la gestion de ce processus de transition jusqu'aux prochaines élections. Le report de toutes ces décisions au 3 juillet n'est-il pas aussi dû au fait que les chefs d'État ne sont pas d'accord entre eux ? Nous avons 12 pays, puisque 3 sont suspendus qui ne participent pas. Il y a beaucoup d'échanges, beaucoup de points de vue mais au niveau de la Cédéao, on a un principe : c'est le consensus. Oui, mais quand même, ce samedi, le Niger et la Gambie sont restés sur une position de fermeté à l'égard des autorités maliennes, alors que le Togo a montré une très grande indulgence. Comment concilier les points de vue aussi opposés ? Toutes les décisions de la Cédéao reposent sur le consensus. Nous ne disons jamais - et d'ailleurs, vous n'allez jamais voir cela dans nos rapports des sommets – quelle a été la position de chaque pays. Non, jamais. D'ailleurs, lors d'une réunion, vous pouvez avoir un pays qui prend une position et, après les échanges, qui module sa position et après un troisième tour, se rapproche … On ne regarde jamais la position d'un pays. On regarde les arguments avancés, l'analyse qui est faite puis, les chefs d'État. C'est par consensus que les chefs d'État arrivent à prendre des décisions et c'est ce qui fait la force de notre communauté. C'est vraiment très rarement que vous allez voir des votes. Ça renforce la solidarité et l'esprit de communauté. 

In this episode of #Adu&TheGuru, the hosts had Prof Joseph Abugu (S.A.N) & Charles Kalu as guests. They analyzed various trending conversations as, how money is the determiner of the #2023generalelectionsprimary, explaining how aspirants used money and cars to solicit for votes. They also discussed other things from the possibilities of Goodluck Jonathan emerging as the consensus candidate from the #APCPrimaries, to posing and analyzing the question 'How independent is the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC?' and more.

In this session of #ThePeoplesPerspective, Trust hosted the show, talking on three major stories that made rounds in the news, the Lynching of Deborah in the north, Goodluck Jonathan's reaction to the fulani getting him the presidential ticket without him being aware from the get go, emiefele went to court to request an injunction to be a part of the APC primaries, which was denied.

As the 2023 elections draw near, the scramble for power has intensified.Amidst the most recent surprising and not so surprising moves, reports of an  unknown group purchasing the 100 million Naira APC nomination form for Goodluck Jonathan is one of those that stand out.In this episode of Nigeria Daily, we uncover the true identity of the unknown group.

The election fever is here so we has more political events. Top on the list is President Buhari's unexpected silence of the APC's presidential form. Former President, Goodluck Jonathan spoke on his possible presidential quest and there was a nollywood glamorous wedding

Life sometimes has a funny way of turning out. Sometimes a dire situation presents itself and the outcome is much better than we could have ever imagined. In this particular case, it took a mother to show her true love, courage and support and possibly willingly risk jail time to prove  to her son that she loved him with her whole heart.  While convalescing at home, Chisom finally was courageous enough to come out to his loving parents. Bedridden and home bound after his initial collapse, he was convinced it was time to open up to his parents about his sexuality. At a most vulnerable time in his life, he was scared and nervous about telling his parents the truth, that he was gay.  He was certain that both his parents loved him unconditionally but  was afraid this was going to be too much for them.  "Knowing that my parents loved me so much, made it that much easier to come out to them and be open with them," added Chisom. His mother's response was " I know, I've always known," says my guest.On a grander scale, writing a personal essay about being a member of the LGBTQ community and  having his story published in the NY Times Modern Love Column was frighting.  Possibly the whole world could read it and find out the truth, that Chisom was a member of the gay community. Chisom's essay is an endearing story of his parent's love for their son. His mother, who's name is Gift, is exceptionally open and honest and loving of her son, regardless of his sexual preference. One can only hope, that everyone struggling with coming out to their loved ones, will receive the same openness and acceptance.Chisom's message to his mother "You are a rock star. You are a gift to me. And I love you very much. Words can't describe how much I love you and how much you mean to me. Everything I do, I do it for you. You are always there for me and you always support me. You always tell me to shoot for the stars".**In February 2021, Chisom has hired to be the Deputy Editor and Culture and Technology reporter  of @Livingfree_UK.  https://livingfreeuk.org/"Living Free UK is a registered community interest company founded in 2018 out of the struggles of millions of LGBTIQ+ Africans who are still battling with their sexuality and gender identity, especially in countries where it is still illegal to live their truth and in some cases lose their lives while trying to find liberty and acceptance.Our main aim is to provide support and validate the lived experiences of LGBTIQ+ Africans, people seeking asylum, and refugees. As research shows, there are 72 countries where homosexuality is still a crime and even in the UK, LGBTIQ+ Africans experience immense difficultly when finding a safe space to express themselves freely and openly without fear of racism, afrophobia, or prejudice of any kind. Some are also unable to return home because of the danger that awaits them.**Now a budding journalist and recent nominee for a journalistic award- this is from Chisom's LinkedIn Acct. (March 2022)"Yesterday  was the Future Awards Africa, and I was nominated for the journalism prize and was also the second youngest nominee in the awards. While I didn't win, I'm grateful for the opportunity to be seen.As a young journalist covering policies and minority groups in Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa, the work I do can be pretty dangerous, but getting nominated for this is a "stepping stone," as my ma put it. Also, I did receive a certificate of nomination, so yay!!Here is to more extraordinary things in 2022 and beyond because I am just getting started." https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/nigeria/10570304/Nigeria-passes-law-banning-homosexuality.htmlThe Act to Make Provisions for the Prohibition of Relationship Between Persons of the Same Sex, Celebration of Marriage by Them, and for Other Matters Connected Therewith, also known as the Same Sex (Prohibition) Act 2006, was a controversial draft bill that was first put before the both houses of the National Assembly of Nigeria in early 2007.

Nigeria's former President and Chair of the Economic Community of West African States Council of the Wise, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, says the sub-region would not accept the five-year transition period proposed by the military government in Mali because it is too long. Jonathan says military regimes had become an aberration in the sub-region and could no longer be tolerated. Jonathan stressed that the proposal for a five-year transition period for the military regime by the Malian parliament was unacceptable because the time was not only too long but also untenable.

President Goodluck Jonathan, the Vice President until President Yar'Adua's death in May 2010 sought a mandate in his own right triggering a debate about the zoning of the country's highest office. This election also offered a flash of the changes in Nigeria's political system as the prominent opposition was now formed by two newly formed parties: Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), and the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN). The elections would also produce a wave of violence which threatened to impact the progress of Nigeria's democracy.

Today on the Big Issue we'll be discussing the dust raised by insinuations in the political circle of plans to draft former President Goodluck Jonathan into the 2023 presidential race.

President Muhammadu Buhari has pledged to assist Mali in every way possible within the ambits of the Economic Community of West African States. The president made the promise when he received a special envoy from Mali's Minister of Territorial Administration and Decentralization, Colonel Abdoulaye Maiga at the State House. Buhari says that every country has its issues and even Nigeria had fought her own civil war, it is impossible to know the totality of the internal politics within Mali. He also met with the head of the ECOWAS Mediation Team and former President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan in a parley, at the statehouse.

Pour l'avenir du Mali, le sommet extraordinaire de la Cédéao, dimanche prochain à Accra, sera sans doute décisif. C'est pourquoi Goodluck Jonathan, l'envoyé spécial de la Cédéao, vient le préparer dès ce mercredi à Bamako. Les dirigeants de l'Afrique de l'Ouest vont-ils accepter une transition militaire de cinq ans au Mali ? À priori, non. Mais attention, avec les divisions au sein de la Cédéao, tout peut arriver, nous explique Niagalé Bagayoko, chercheuse au Réseau africain pour le secteur de la sécurité, basé à Accra. RFI : « La transition doit faire des réformes institutionnelles structurantes pour que les futures élections soient équitables », dit le rapport final des Assises nationales de Bamako. Qu'est-ce que vous en pensez ?  Niagalé Bagayoko : C'est l'un des volets qui, d'un point de vue déclaratoire, pourrait être le plus crédible selon moi dans la mesure où l'on s'aperçoit que les cycles électoraux successifs suscitent de moins en moins l'adhésion des populations, que l'on est face à une sorte de désillusion démocratique, et que donc l'idée que la mise en œuvre de réformes doit primer sur l'organisation des scrutins peut s'entendre. Ce qui est le plus problématique en revanche, ce sont les délais prévus pour la mise en œuvre. Parce qu'un délai de cinq ans, en réalité six ans et quelques mois depuis l'arrivée au pouvoir de la junte, est véritablement problématique. Cela excède même la durée d'un mandat électif dans un grand nombre de démocraties.  Et la presse malienne de souligner le fait également que le colonel Assimi Goïta devrait tirer la leçon de l'histoire qui montre que tous ses frères d'armes qui ont pris le pouvoir par la force en sont ressortis par la petite porte. Est-ce que c'est si vrai que cela ?  Alors, c'est vrai dans une certaine mesure, mais ils sont quand même demeurés au pouvoir pendant de très longues années. Si l'on prend le cas de Moussa Traoré qui a effectivement quitté le pouvoir seulement au bout d'une vingtaine d'années. Moussa Traoré qui, d'ailleurs, est demeuré, paradoxalement ou non, jusqu'à son décès récent, une figure perçue comme très crédible et comme un recours éventuel en termes de conseil ou d'orientation politique. Le cas d'Amadou Toumani Touré est différent puisque lui-même avait choisi de laisser le pouvoir aux civils et il est revenu par le biais d'un scrutin démocratique. Et si l'on prend le cas d'Amadou Sanogo, il n'a effectivement pas pu prolonger son passage au pouvoir, mais il a bénéficié d'une amnistie. Donc, je ne partage pas totalement cette analyse.  Et, est-ce que les 23 ans de régime du général Moussa Traoré peuvent être le modèle du colonel Assimi Goïta et du Premier ministre Choguel Maïga ?  Je pense que c'est extrêmement difficile, mais que tout l'enjeu se situe là en réalité. Parce que ce qui est au cœur de la situation malienne aujourd'hui est de savoir ce qu'est réellement la démocratie, parce que bien entendu le contexte international n'est absolument pas le même que celui dans lequel a exercé ses fonctions Moussa Traoré, mais l'on s'aperçoit d'un durcissement sur la scène internationale plus généralement qui pourrait suggérer qu'en effet des pouvoirs plus autoritaires s'installeront. Cela dit, aujourd'hui, à l'heure des réseaux sociaux, à l'heure où un certain nombre d'organisations de la société civile ont acquis une certaine liberté de parole, si ce n'est d'influence, il pourra, à mon avis, être extrêmement difficile de s'inspirer de l'expérience de Moussa Traoré.  Ces Assises nationales de Bamako ont été boycottées par de grandes coalitions de l'opposition, mais malgré tout, est-ce que la junte et son Premier ministre Choguel Maïga ne bénéficient pas tout de même d'une certaine base populaire ?  Il semble que oui, indéniablement. Ce qui caractérise l'actuel régime au pouvoir au Mali est à la fois une grande habileté d'un point de vue diplomatique, sur la scène internationale, mais aussi la capacité à répondre à certaines des aspirations populaires qui ont provoquées les manifestations massives qui ont conduit à la destitution du président IBK. Je pense notamment à la mise en œuvre de cette politique en matière de lutte contre la corruption qui est extrêmement populaire, tout comme de l'intention manifeste d'élargir les partenariats stratégiques avec les différents acteurs internationaux. Mais il n'est cependant pas certain que la junte réponde à toutes les attentes, et notamment d'un point de vue sécuritaire parce qu'aujourd'hui c'est quand même l'enjeu majeur.  Dimanche se tiendra un sommet extraordinaire de la Cédéao sur le Mali. Qu'est-ce que vous en attendez ?  Je pense que ce sommet est absolument crucial. Non pas seulement pour le Mali, mais pour la Cédéao elle-même. Parce que l'on parle très souvent du sentiment qui se manifeste contre la France, contre la Minusma, contre les acteurs internationaux en général, derrière lesquels on voit une instrumentalisation, mais on parle beaucoup moins de ce rejet de plus en plus massif dont fait l'objet la Cédéao en raison des contradictions entre son mandat et les objectifs qu'elle s'est fixée et les décisions prises. De manière très concrète, la Cédéao, à travers la vision 2020 qui avait été adoptée en 2007, avait résolu de passer d'une Cédéao des États à une Cédéao des peuples. Et on s'aperçoit, à l'inverse, qu'il s'agit d'une organisation dont les décisions sont de plus en plus intergouvernementales et qui contribuent à asseoir, si ce n'est des coups d'États, en tout cas des manipulations ou des changements constitutionnels qui sont peu conformes notamment au protocole de 2001 sur la démocratie et la bonne gouvernance. Donc, il s'agira de voir dans quelle mesure ce sommet permettra à la Cédéao de jouer sur cette ligne de crête extrêmement étroite entre des sanctions crédibles et qui puissent être efficaces, parce que touchant au cœur du fonctionnement de l'État malien, sans se mettre à dos les populations maliennes ou plus largement celles de la sous-région.  Donc vous êtes contre un éventuel blocus économique du Mali ?  Toute la difficulté des sanctions économiques est précisément le fait qu'elles touchent avant tout les populations davantage que les dirigeants. La Cédéao a adopté récemment des mesures qui touchent un nombre limité de personnalités, quand je dis limité c'est un nombre qui est relativement large, et cela de manière inédite puisqu'il s'agit de 150 personnes, dont les biens et les avoirs et les possibilités de voyager ont été restreints. Mais on voit très bien que cela n'a absolument pas empêché les autorités actuelles de prendre des décisions qui vont à l'encontre des demandes de la Cédéao. Donc, effectivement, les mesures les plus efficaces sont celles qui touchent le plus grand nombre de Maliens, mais attention pace que le rôle des opinions publiques, le rôle de la colère et de l'exaspération populaire devient, à mon avis, le facteur central de l'évolution actuelle de la gestion de la crise malienne et plus largement de la crise sahélienne.  Et quelle est l'alternative à un blocus économique ?  Il y a, en réalité, extrêmement peu de solution. C'est là que l'on voit la problématique posée par tout le décalage entre l'arsenal institutionnel et juridique, qui a été construit depuis les années 2000 dans le cadre de la Cédéao et de sa mise en œuvre, si l'on regarde l'ensemble de ces textes, y compris le protocole dont je parlais, qui est additionnel au mécanisme de gestion des conflits lui-même adopté en 1999 et aux différents codes de conduite des forces armées et de sécurité. Tous les éléments existent d'un point de vue formel. Mais on s'aperçoit que leur mise en œuvre n'a finalement jamais, véritablement, été appliquée, donc on se retrouve face à une situation dans laquelle les possibilités d'action sont extrêmement restreintes. Aujourd'hui, je crois malheureusement que l'on s'achemine vers des régimes davantage autoritaires, sans doute beaucoup moins respectueux d'un certain nombre de pratiques démocratiques, mais dont il ne faut pas croire qu'ils pourront s'éterniser au pouvoir, puisqu'une fois de plus, je pense qu'il faut qu'ils répondent aussi aux attentes des populations dont l'exaspération pourrait aussi, très rapidement, les balayer.  Donc en fait, vous prônez la clémence pour les dirigeants ouest-africains qui se réuniront dimanche prochain, c'est ça ?  Non, absolument pas. Moi, je pense qu'il faut absolument appliquer les principes qui sont consignés dans les textes et être extrêmement ferme dans leur imposition. Mais je ne suis pas certaine qu'ils puissent être suivis d'effets étant donné l'ensemble des contradictions que l'on a vues dans la prise de position d'instances comme la Cédéao ou comme l'Union africaine au cours des dernières années.  Oui, c'est-à-dire que vous pensez qu'il y a des divisions au sein de la Cédéao, avec des États inflexibles comme le Niger, et des États peut-être plus compréhensifs à l'égard de la junte malienne comme le Sénégal ?  Absolument, comme le Sénégal, comme le Togo, que l'on peut citer également. On voit très bien que le camp le plus inflexible n'est pas forcément majoritaire à l'intérieur de l'organisation. Et c'est là que l'on en revient à la logique intergouvernementale dont je parlais, où le type d'accession au pouvoir des différents présidents actuellement en place ne peut que peser sur les décisions qu'ils sont amenés à prendre par la suite.  Et si la Cédéao cède à la junte malienne sur cette transition de cinq ans, est-ce qu'elle ne devra pas céder aussi à la junte guinéenne ?  Tout à fait, c'est à cela que je pensais. C'est pour cela, à mon avis, que l'enjeu de ce sommet est tout aussi important pour l'avenir de la Cédéao elle-même que pour celui du Mali. Aujourd'hui, il en va de la crédibilité de tout ce qui a été construit pendant une vingtaine d'années, qui est mis à l'épreuve des faits, et il est attendu, effectivement, de l'ensemble des acteurs de voir s'ils sont capables de mettre en application les principes qu'ils prônent pour leurs voisins de la sous-région, sans pour autant se les appliquer à eux-mêmes.  Lors des travaux de conclusions des Assises nationales de la semaine dernière, les Russes ont été applaudis à Bamako. Les Occidentaux dénoncent publiquement l'arrivée du groupe Wagner au Mali, mais sans annoncer le retrait de la force Barkhane ou de la force Takuba. Est-ce à dire que la junte au pouvoir à Bamako est en train de réussir son pari de faire cohabiter soldats français et mercenaires russes ?  C'est là que l'on voit tout le danger qu'il y a eu à fixer sans arrêt de nouvelles lignes rouges qui ont finalement toujours été franchies par les autorités maliennes, que ce soit lorsque la France a exigé que toute négociation avec des groupes jihadistes soit exclue ou lorsqu'elle a demandé à ce que le calendrier électoral soit respecté. Et de nouveau aujourd'hui, en ce qui concerne l'arrivée de ce groupe, en effet, la déclaration du 23 décembre qui a été adoptée par un grand nombre de pays européens, quinze, plus le Canada, est effectivement étonnante puisque, alors qu'il avait été répété notamment par la France qu'elle quitterait le Sahel ou enfin en tout cas qu'elle ne pourrait absolument pas cohabiter avec le groupe Wagner, cette déclaration affirme que la France, les partenaires européens, resteront dans le pays. Donc, oui, à mon avis, il s'agit d'une victoire diplomatique pour la junte malienne de ce point de vue-là. Mais est-ce que cela pourra tenir d'un point de vue opérationnel ? Là encore, on pourra se poser la question dans la mesure où l'on voit très bien que le grand nombre d'acteurs sécuritaires internationaux d'ores et déjà présents sur place a eu les plus grandes difficultés à coordonner ses actions les unes avec les autres. Et l'on peut douter que cela s'améliore avec l'arrivée de ce nouvel acteur.
