GESTION INTEGREE DES ESPACES FRONTALIERS : WATHI ET LA FONDATION KONRAD ADENAUER POUR LA PROMOTION D’UN DIALOGUE INCLUSIF AUTOUR DE LA QUESTION

Sécurité des espaces frontaliers au Bénin. C’est autour de ce thème que le Think tank Citoyen pour l’Afrique de l’Ouest Wathi en partenariat avec la fondation Konrad Adenauer a animé sa deuxième table ronde virtuelle sur le Bénin après celle sur la formation professionnelle, l’emploi des jeunes et l’entreprenariat. C’était le mercredi 17 novembre 2021. 

Les échanges ont lieu dans un contexte marqué par un faisceau de constats en lien avec les enjeux économiques, la paix, l’intégration sous-régionale et les effets des changements climatiques sur le cadre de vie des populations. D’entrée de jeu, le représentant résident adjoint de la fondation Konrad Adenauer souligne ainsi l’importance d’une telle réunion : « Discuter de la sécurité des espaces frontaliers au Bénin est donc très important surtout dans un pays connu pour être une terre d’accueil. La question frontalière touche premièrement aux intérêts humains, qu’il s’agisse des implications individuelles ou plus amplement de celles de l’État. Le quotidien des populations vivant dans ces zones est clairement différent de celui des habitants de l’intérieur du pays », affirme Rafael Merz.  Un débat multi acteurs qui cherche à promouvoir une démocratie participative est d’intérêt général avec comme avantage d’aborder des préoccupations qui touchent plusieurs pays africains. « Tous les jours ou presque, nous entendons parler d’attaques au Mali, au Burkina-Faso, au Niger. Il est clair que la sécurité dans chacun des pays de la région, qu’il s’agisse de pays sahélien ou pas, est une affaire collective. Lorsque nous avons une discussion sur la formation professionnelle au Bénin, cela est tout à fait pertinent pour le Sénégal, le Togo et tous les autres pays » confie le directeur exécutif de Wathi, Dr Gilles Yabi.

En plus de la sécurité, une gestion efficace des espaces frontaliers passe par l’emploi des jeunes.

Aujourd’hui, le seul fait majeur noté au Bénin et qui témoigne d’une menace des organisations extrémistes est l’enlèvement de touristes français dans le parc national de la Pendjari en 2019. Pourtant, le Bénin ne devrait pas baisser la garde selon la société civile en restant dans la dynamique d’une vigilance qui intègre les organisations locales : « C’est ensemble que nous devons travailler à la production de notre sécurité. Les organisations locales sont très informées avec des systèmes d’alerte. S’appuyer sur elles peut améliorer l’intervention des Forces de défense et de sécurité. Il faut accentuer le travail de prévention au niveau des communautés qui ne sont pas encore affectées par les violences pour limiter le risque de contagion. Enfin, ne minimisons jamais une source de conflit, aussi petite soit-elle », met en garde la présidente de la coalition nationale pour la paix, madame Batoko-Zossou Fatoumatou

Pour le maire de la commune de Kétou, localité frontalière avec le Nigéria, la question de l’extrémisme violent est subséquemment liée à celle de l’emploi et du chômage dans les zones frontalières. Le désœuvrement, la prise de produits psychotropes, la dissémination des germes de la violence et l’apparition d’un radicalisme, qu’il soit primaire ou non sont, selon Lucie Sessinou Tidjani, le fait d’une jeunesse sans perspectives d’avenir et de réussite sociale. Orienter donc les investissements vers les milieux frontaliers à travers entre autres la création de zones franches économiques spéciales comme c’est le cas dans la commune de Sèmè-Podji, pour absorber la main d’œuvre, permettra de juguler un tant soit peu, les questions de sécurité, peut-on retenir des discussions.

  1. First of all I want to say fantastic blog!

    I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
    I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your mind prior to
    writing. I’ve had a difficult time clearing
    my mind in getting my thoughts out there. I truly do enjoy writing however
    it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted simply just
    trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or
    hints? Many thanks!

  2. Terrific work! That is the kind of information that should be shared across
    the internet. Disgrace on Google for now not positioning this put up upper!
    Come on over and discuss with my web site . Thanks =)

  3. Just wish to say your article is as surprising. The clearness in your
    put up is simply spectacular and that i could suppose you are an expert on this subject.

    feed to stay updated with imminent post. Thank you one million and please carry on the

    about this blog with my Facebook group. Talk soon!

  6. Hi there! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?
    I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform.

    direction of a good platform.

  7. Hey just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren’t loading correctly.
    I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue.
    I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same outcome.

  8. With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into
    any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My
    website has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it looks
    like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization.
    Do you know any techniques to help protect against content from being stolen? I’d definitely appreciate it.

  9. After checking out a handful of the blog articles on your web
    page, I truly like your technique of writing a
    blog. I bookmarked it to my bookmark webpage list and will
    be checking back in the near future. Take a look at my web site too and tell me your opinion.

    shout out from Lubbock Tx! Just wanted to say keep up the good work!

  14. I was curious if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your site?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a
    little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.

    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 pictures.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

    done an impressive job and our whole community will be thankful to you.

  17. Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
    I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything. But think of if you added some great pictures or videos
    to give your posts more, « pop »! Your content is excellent but with pics and videos, this site could definitely be one of the best in its niche.
    Great blog!

    litte more on this subject? I’d be very thankful if you

    iPad and tested to see if it can survive a 25 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My
    apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with
    someone!

  24. Hello, Neat post. There is an issue with your website in internet

    other people will miss your magnificent writing because of this problem.
