Plusieurs fois, l\u2019excellent article de 24 heures du 23 mars \u00e9voque l\u2019exp\u00e9dition \u00bb punitive \u00bb de l\u2019arm\u00e9e anglaise en 1897. Punitive ? Le roi ne voulait pas que les anglais dirigent son pays. Alors \u00ab on \u00bb a d\u00e9truit et pill\u00e9 sa ville comme \u00ab on \u00bb exige aujourd\u2019hui ou au temps de la r\u00e9publique de Mossadegh que les Iraniens ob\u00e9issent \u00e0 Washington et \u00ab donnent leur p\u00e9trole \u00bb. C\u2019est toujours les vainqueurs qui \u00e9crivent l\u2019histoire. Ils ont expliqu\u00e9 que les B\u00e9ninois faisaient des sacrifices humains et qu\u2019il fallait les civiliser. Toutes les horreurs que les Europ\u00e9ens ont commises en Afrique ont \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9sent\u00e9es comme la vocation g\u00e9n\u00e9reuse d\u2019aller civiliser des sauvages. Or, un explorateur portugais a visit\u00e9 B\u00e9nin City au 17e <\/sup>si\u00e8cle et la description qu\u2019il en fait est extraordinaire. Un royaume form\u00e9 d\u00e8s le XII e si\u00e8cle. Prot\u00e9g\u00e9 par un mur plus long que le c\u00e9l\u00e8bre mur de Chine. Des habitants d\u2019une propret\u00e9 extraordinaire alors que les courtisans de Versailles ne se lavaient pas ayant peur de l\u2019eau. Toutes les maisons ouvertes parce que le vol n\u2019existait pas. Ce n\u2019est pas le seul royaume remarquable que les europ\u00e9ens ont d\u00e9truit en Afrique. Au 16e<\/sup> si\u00e8cle, le royaume du Mali respectait des r\u00e8gles qui sont comparables \u00e0 la d\u00e9claration universelle des droits de l\u2019homme\u2026 Ces v\u00e9rit\u00e9s sont cach\u00e9es. Si vous voulez en savoir plus sur la longue et prestigieuse histoire de l\u2019Afrique noire avant la colonisation, il va falloir vous lever de bonne heure. Je ne trouve aucun livre en librairie. Peut-\u00eatre les trouverai-je en biblioth\u00e8que ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
