Le pr\u00e9sident de la Commission de l’Union africaine, Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, s’est empress\u00e9 de publier une clarification apr\u00e8s la publication d’une photo montrant son porte-parole dans un jet priv\u00e9, photo qui a suscit\u00e9 des critiques \u00e0 l’encontre de l’organisation continentale qu’il dirige.<\/p>\n
L’image, depuis supprim\u00e9e, a \u00e9t\u00e9 publi\u00e9e mardi sur X par le porte-parole de M. Youssouf, Nuur Mohamud Sheekh. On y voyait M. Sheekh assis dans un jet am\u00e9nag\u00e9 en lit, lisant un magazine, des rafra\u00eechissements dispos\u00e9s sur une table.<\/p>\n
La l\u00e9gende de la photo \u00e9tait : \u00ab Au revoir, belle Luanda \u00bb.<\/p>\n
Sur son compte officiel X, M. Youssouf a expliqu\u00e9 que le jet avait \u00e9t\u00e9 mis \u00e0 disposition par le pr\u00e9sident angolais \u2013 qui assure \u00e9galement la pr\u00e9sidence de l’Union africaine \u2013 pour le conduire \u00e0 un engagement ult\u00e9rieur apr\u00e8s son intervention lors d’une r\u00e9union sur le financement des infrastructures africaines \u00e0 Luanda, la capitale angolaise.<\/p>\n
\u00ab Notre Union n’a pas les moyens d’affr\u00e9ter un vol sp\u00e9cial pour la CUA. Je remercie Son Excellence le pr\u00e9sident Louren\u00e7o. La photo de mon porte-parole \u00e9tait inappropri\u00e9e. Je le reconnais \u00bb, a-t-il \u00e9crit. Dans une d\u00e9claration distincte, Sheekh a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 ses excuses pour la publication de la photo, qualifiant son geste d’\u00ab\u00a0inopportun\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n
\u00ab\u00a0Je regrette sinc\u00e8rement d’avoir partag\u00e9 cette photo et les impressions involontaires qu’elle a pu susciter. Ce geste visait simplement \u00e0 t\u00e9moigner de la chaleureuse hospitalit\u00e9 du gouvernement et du peuple angolais\u00a0\u00bb, a-t-il d\u00e9clar\u00e9.<\/p>\n
La photo de Sheekh a suscit\u00e9 une vive indignation, les internautes accusant l’Union africaine d’insensibilit\u00e9. Ils ont notamment \u00e9voqu\u00e9 la r\u00e9action timide du bloc face aux \u00e9v\u00e9nements survenus au Soudan, au Cameroun et en Tanzanie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
