\u00c0 Linga, des notables l’ont dit tout haut, comme le rapportait Radio Ndeke Luka le 7 ao\u00fbt : trop de familles centrafricaines d\u00e9pensent davantage pour enterrer leurs proches que pour les soigner de leur vivant. Le constat n’a rien d’anecdotique. Il touche \u00e0 une contradiction que beaucoup, en Centrafrique, connaissent sans oser la nommer : la mort co\u00fbte plus cher, et suscite plus de mobilisation collective, que la maladie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Des fun\u00e9railles peuvent engloutir l’\u00e9quivalent de mois de revenus d’un m\u00e9nage modeste : cercueil, tissus de deuil, repas pour des dizaines voire des centaines de personnes, transport, sonorisation. Pendant ce temps, le m\u00eame malade qui aurait eu besoin d’une consultation, d’un traitement ou d’une \u00e9vacuation vers un centre de sant\u00e9 mieux \u00e9quip\u00e9, attend, faute de moyens rassembl\u00e9s \u00e0 temps. On trouve, dans l’urgence du deuil, des sommes qu’on ne trouvait pas dans l’urgence de la maladie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Il serait injuste d’y voir seulement de l’insouciance ou un mauvais calcul des priorit\u00e9s. Ce d\u00e9s\u00e9quilibre est aussi social : la fun\u00e9raille est un moment collectif, o\u00f9 la communaut\u00e9 enti\u00e8re se mobilise, o\u00f9 l’honneur d’une famille se joue au regard du voisinage. La maladie, elle, reste souvent une affaire priv\u00e9e, v\u00e9cue dans la discr\u00e9tion, parfois dans la honte, loin des solidarit\u00e9s qui s’activent pourtant si vite lorsqu’il s’agit d’inhumer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mais cette hi\u00e9rarchie m\u00e9rite d’\u00eatre interrog\u00e9e, pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment parce qu’elle a un co\u00fbt humain. Chaque franc mobilis\u00e9 apr\u00e8s un d\u00e9c\u00e8s est un franc qui, mobilis\u00e9 un peu plus t\u00f4t, aurait peut-\u00eatre permis d’\u00e9viter ce m\u00eame d\u00e9c\u00e8s. Les notables de Linga ont raison de le rappeler : soutenir un proche malade devrait mobiliser au moins autant d’\u00e9nergie collective que l’organisation de ses fun\u00e9railles. Ce n’est pas moins de respect pour les morts qu’il faudrait, mais davantage d’attention pour les vivants, tant qu’il en est encore temps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ce n’est pas non plus une affaire de tradition fig\u00e9e, contrairement \u00e0 ce que l’on entend parfois. Les pratiques fun\u00e9raires \u00e9voluent, comme \u00e9voluent les solidarit\u00e9s familiales et villageoises. Rien n’emp\u00eacherait une communaut\u00e9 de d\u00e9cider, collectivement, de plafonner ses d\u00e9penses de deuil pour r\u00e9orienter une part de cet argent vers une caisse de solidarit\u00e9 sant\u00e9, activable d\u00e8s qu’un proche tombe malade. Ce serait moins spectaculaire qu’un enterrement grandiose. Ce serait, sans doute, bien plus utile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
