Etienne Fakaba Sissoko est un économiste malien, professeur à l'université de Bamako et voix critique de la Transition. Après avoir publié fin 2023 un livre dans lequel il dénonçait la « propagande » des autorités de transition, Etienne Fakaba Sissoko a été condamné notamment pour « atteinte au crédit de l'État » et a passé un an en prison. Etienne Fakaba Sissoko avait déjà été emprisonné pendant six mois, deux ans plus tôt, sans aucune condamnation.Libéré fin mars, Etienne Fakaba Sissoko est désormais exilé, de passage en France. Tenir, témoigner, lutter : durant sa détention, le chercheur a écrit plusieurs livres dont Le trône des illusions (mai 2025, L'Harmattan). Un roman, une fiction, où le Mali de transition transparaît à chaque page. Les personnages et les situations collent au réel… sauf pour la fin, où l'auteur imagine la chute du régime. Etienne Fakaba Sissoko est l'invité Afrique de RFI, au micro de David Baché. RFI : Votre roman se passe dans le pays imaginaire de Gayma, sous un régime militaire putschiste autoritaire, le protagoniste Sabu est « un professeur devenu résistant », qui comme vous écrit, dénonce, est emprisonné… Je ne fais pas la liste des personnages dont on reconnaît facilement à qui ils correspondent : pourquoi avoir écrit un roman, et pas un essai politique sur le Mali de transition ? Etienne Fakaba Sissoko : Déjà, le fait de me retrouver en prison était dû à un essai politique que j'avais écrit : « Propagande, agitation, harcèlement, la communication gouvernementale sous la transition militaire ». Et donc, puisque la lutte aussi, c'est des phases, j'ai voulu essayer autre chose que d'appeler les choses par leur nom, tout en laissant la possibilité au lecteur de savoir exactement à quoi on fait référence. À lire aussiMali: après un an passé en détention, l'universitaire Étienne Fakaba Sissoko a été libéré Vous décrivez dans votre livre des scènes très touchantes, en prison, qui réunissent d'anciens ministres et des jeunes militants, avec des discussions politiques, des désaccords, mais aussi un amour de la patrie et une forme de fraternité. C'est-ce que vous avez vécu, dans la prison de Kenioroba ?  Aujourd'hui effectivement oui, lorsqu'on pense à ces moments douloureux, je pense encore Adama Ben Diarra dit « Ben le cerveau », je pense à Ras Bath, à « Rose la vie chère », Clément Dembélé, Kalilou Doumbia, Adama Sangaré, l'ancien maire de Bamako… tous ces résistants qui se retrouvent aujourd'hui en prison et qui ont été des soutiens mutuels. On vivait les mêmes injustices, les mêmes privations de liberté et donc la seule alternative pour tenir, c'était justement de se nourrir de ces rêves pour le pays et surtout de ces débats que nous avions au quotidien. Donc c'était une fraternité effectivement, comme vous le dites, mais c'était surtout des moments profonds de réflexion pour l'avenir de notre nation. À lire aussiMali: l'économiste Etienne Fakaba Sissoko attend toujours son procès en appel Vous définissez le régime militaire de Gayma, le pays de votre roman, comme « un empire de répression et d'illusion ». C'est ce que vous pensez de la Transition malienne ? Pas que de la transition malienne. De toutes les transitions aujourd'hui au Sahel : que le lecteur soit du Niger, du Burkina ou du Mali, il saura retrouver les traits des pays qui répriment les libertés fondamentales, les libertés individuelles, qui dissolvent les partis politiques. Des régimes autoritaires qui se donnent des mandats à durée indéterminée, qui n'acceptent plus la critique et qui, finalement, se retrouvent dans des pays divisés où les populations se regardent en chiens de faïence. Et tout cela dans un contexte d'insécurité, de pauvreté extrême. Et l'illusion ? L'illusion, c'est le fait de croire que tout cela peut perdurer. Le fait de croire qu'avec la répression, on puisse se maintenir au pouvoir pour 5 ans, pour 10 ans, sans résultat probant. L'illusion, c'est surtout de penser que les populations resteront dans cette situation-là. Et aujourd'hui, nous sommes dans cette illusion-là qui est entretenue par nos autorités militaires, qui ont pris goût aux délices du pouvoir. L'illusion, c'est tout le narratif qui est présenté aujourd'hui aux populations. La question de la lutte contre l'insécurité. Nous avons suivi Kayes qui est tombée… À lire aussiMali: la Cour d'appel confirme la condamnation et la peine de prison d'Étienne Fakaba Sissoko Les attaques jihadistes tout le long de la frontière sénégalaise et mauritanienne, et notamment dans cette ville de Kayes. Exactement, et ces sept attaques qui se sont tenues simultanément dans ces régions-là montrent combien l'insécurité a gagné du terrain. Mais quand vous écoutez les autorités, vous avez l'impression que tout se passe bien. L'illusion, c'est surtout de dire qu'au Mali tout va bien, alors que les populations n'ont pas à manger trois fois par jour. L'illusion, c'est surtout de croire que nous avons un pays qui se développe lorsque que la moindre des choses qui est l'électricité, nous ne l'avons pas. Donc oui, l'illusion, c'est le narratif servi par les autorités maliennes actuellement. Dans votre livre, les habitants ont peur et n'osent pas critiquer le régime. Est-ce que c'est vraiment le cas, selon vous, au Mali ? Est-ce que la Transition n'est pas populaire, malgré les difficultés ? Si la Transition était populaire, elle aurait organisé les élections, comme elle a organisé le référendum il y a quelques années. Lorsqu'on est populaire, on n'a pas peur de se confronter au suffrage universel. Les militaires qui sont au pouvoir ne vont pas aux élections parce qu'ils savent qu'ils n'ont pas le soutien du peuple malien. Le rejet est tel que c'est impossible aujourd'hui pour les autorités actuelles, notamment Assimi Goïta, de se confronter au suffrage universel. Mais les objectifs de la Transition : sécuriser le pays, faire du Mali un pays souverain qui décide pour lui-même, ce ne sont pas des objectifs légitimes ? Des objectifs légitimes oui, mais lorsqu'on a passé cinq ans déjà dans une transition et qu'on n'est pas arrivé à lutter contre l'insécurité et que finalement, on se retrouve dans une situation où c'est l'inverse : l'insécurité qui était d'abord concentrée au nord s'est retrouvée au centre et aujourd'hui, c'est tout le pays, y compris le sud, le sud-ouest, qui sont touchés par l'insécurité. Donc en l'absence de résultats, on ne peut pas confier encore un mandat supplémentaire. C'est pourquoi je dis : quels que soient les objectifs que ces autorités-là vont présenter au peuple malien, ils ont échoué, ils doivent partir. De gré ou de force. À lire aussiMali: la Cour d'appel confirme la condamnation et la peine de prison d'Étienne Fakaba Sissoko Votre livre devient véritablement fiction lorsque le peuple se soulève et finit par renverser le tyran. Vous racontez une insurrection populaire, que vous appelez « la grande convergence », dans les villes et les campagnes, avec des réunions clandestines, et aussi le soutien de militaires désabusés… Ce que vous écrivez, on comprend que c'est peut-être ce que vous souhaitez. Est-ce que vous pensez vraiment que ça peut se passer comme ça ? C'est un vœu pour certains, mais pour moi, c'est un travail. C'est un travail de rassemblement, un travail de discussion, un travail de dialogue avec tous ceux qui aujourd'hui sont des acteurs importants de la stabilité du Mali. Je parle des partis politiques, je parle des groupes armés, qu'ils soient des groupes armés avec des revendications politiques ou des groupes armés avec d'autres types de revendications… Les rebelles et les djihadistes, pour traduire. Absolument. Il faut discuter avec tout le monde, arrêter de faire le faux-fuyant et penser que la guerre à elle seule peut amener la paix dans notre pays. Nous l'avons expérimenté depuis 2012. Jusqu'à maintenant, la situation continue de se détériorer. Il faut trouver autre chose. Vous êtes longtemps resté au Mali, malgré les risques. Vous en avez payé le prix, en séjournant longuement en prison. À présent que vous êtes sorti, vous êtes de passage en France, qu'est-ce que vous allez faire ? Je vais continuer à échanger avec les différents acteurs, tous ceux qui aujourd'hui estiment que le Mali a assez souffert sous cette dictature-là, tous ceux qui adoptent comme principe que la démocratie est la seule voie qui vaille au Mali et qu'il faut se battre pour arracher le pays des griffes de ces militaires actuellement au pouvoir.
