Un ressortissant suisse venu effectuer une prospection mini\u00e8re et le militaire charg\u00e9 de sa protection ont \u00e9t\u00e9 tu\u00e9s le 30 juillet lors d’une attaque arm\u00e9e pr\u00e8s de Damara, \u00e0 une cinquantaine de kilom\u00e8tres au nord de Bangui, selon des informations rapport\u00e9es par l’Agence France-Presse et confirm\u00e9es par des sources judiciaires locales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Les faits se sont d\u00e9roul\u00e9s sur le chantier minier de Gbango-Carri\u00e8re, situ\u00e9 sur l’axe de Damara, \u00e0 18 kilom\u00e8tres de la ville. Selon un haut responsable de l’arm\u00e9e centrafricaine cit\u00e9 par l’AFP sous couvert d’anonymat, le ressortissant suisse a \u00e9t\u00e9 tu\u00e9 avec son \u00e9l\u00e9ment de s\u00e9curit\u00e9, un sous-officier des Forces arm\u00e9es centrafricaines (FACA). D’apr\u00e8s les pr\u00e9cisions apport\u00e9es par Radio Ndeke Luka, les deux hommes ont d’abord \u00e9t\u00e9 enlev\u00e9s par des hommes arm\u00e9s avant d’\u00eatre retrouv\u00e9s sans vie au village d’Imohoro. L’attaque est attribu\u00e9e \u00e0 des bandits arm\u00e9s non encore identifi\u00e9s \u00e0 ce stade de l’enqu\u00eate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Les corps des deux victimes ont \u00e9t\u00e9 transf\u00e9r\u00e9s \u00e0 Bangui. Le procureur de la R\u00e9publique pr\u00e8s le tribunal de grande instance de Damara, Josu\u00e9 Ogbolo-Bougnade-Besson, a confirm\u00e9 l’ouverture d’une enqu\u00eate judiciaire visant \u00e0 \u00e9tablir les circonstances exactes de l’attaque et \u00e0 identifier les auteurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 civile qui s’alarme<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cet assassinat a suscit\u00e9 une r\u00e9action rapide de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 civile centrafricaine. L’Observatoire pour la gouvernance d\u00e9mocratique en Centrafrique (OGDC) a d\u00e9nonc\u00e9 une d\u00e9t\u00e9rioration de la situation s\u00e9curitaire aux abords de la capitale. Son coordonnateur, Elys\u00e9e Nguemal\u00e9, a appel\u00e9 les autorit\u00e9s \u00e0 prendre des mesures urgentes pour prot\u00e9ger les populations et les personnels \u00e9trangers pr\u00e9sents dans les zones d’exploitation mini\u00e8re, alors que les attaques arm\u00e9es se multiplient dans la p\u00e9riph\u00e9rie de Bangui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
L’affaire relance les interrogations sur la s\u00e9curisation des sites miniers isol\u00e9s en R\u00e9publique centrafricaine, r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement cibl\u00e9s par des groupes arm\u00e9s, dans un pays o\u00f9 plusieurs zones rurales \u00e9chappent encore largement au contr\u00f4le effectif de l’\u00c9tat. Cet \u00e9pisode survient alors que d’autres incidents ont \u00e9t\u00e9 signal\u00e9s ces derniers jours dans le pays, notamment dans le Mbomou, o\u00f9 des habitants de la localit\u00e9 de Nzako font \u00e9tat d’une s\u00e9rie d’enl\u00e8vements attribu\u00e9s \u00e0 des \u00e9l\u00e9ments de l’Arm\u00e9e de r\u00e9sistance du Seigneur (LRA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La secousse provoqu\u00e9e par la mort du prospecteur suisse intervient dans un contexte o\u00f9 les autorit\u00e9s centrafricaines m\u00e8nent, depuis la fin juillet, une op\u00e9ration de d\u00e9mant\u00e8lement des barri\u00e8res ill\u00e9gales tenues par des hommes en armes sur plusieurs axes routiers du pays, officiellement destin\u00e9e \u00e0 s\u00e9curiser la circulation des personnes et des biens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
