 <\/p>\n

\u200bDe passage au Cameroun \u00e0 l\u2019invitation de son \u00ab fr\u00e8re \u00bb Samuel Eto\u2019o, l\u2019ancien pr\u00e9sident de la Conf\u00e9d\u00e9ration Africaine de Football (CAF), Ahmad Ahmad, s\u2019est longuement confi\u00e9 \u00e0 nos reporters Neilley Claude Ebessa et Macdella Eyong Bessong. Entre nostalgie, bilan de son mandat et vision d\u2019avenir, l\u2019ex-patron du football africain livre un plaidoyer vibrant pour la souverainet\u00e9 du continent.<\/p>\n

\u200b<\/p>\n

\u200bC\u2019est un homme serein, presque apais\u00e9, que nous avons rencontr\u00e9. Malgr\u00e9 un emploi du temps charg\u00e9 et des obligations imminentes aupr\u00e8s de ses partenaires, Ahmad Ahmad a tenu \u00e0 honorer l\u2019invitation de celui qu\u2019il appelle affectueusement son fr\u00e8re, Samuel Eto’o. Entre les deux hommes, la complicit\u00e9 ne date pas d’hier.<\/p>\n

\u00a0D\u00e8s le d\u00e9part, j\u2019ai \u00e9t\u00e9 conscient qu\u2019on ne peut pas d\u00e9velopper le football africain sans ces l\u00e9gendes \u00bb,<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

nous confie-t-il d’embl\u00e9e. Pour lui, le succ\u00e8s du football mondial repose sur cette harmonie entre administrateurs et techniciens du terrain.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u200bLe cri du c\u0153ur pour la souverainet\u00e9 africaine<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u200bAu fil de la discussion, Ahmad Ahmad ne cache pas son analyse sur l\u2019\u00e9tat actuel de l\u2019institution qu\u2019il a dirig\u00e9e. Son message est clair : l\u2019Afrique doit se r\u00e9approprier son destin.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Je dis ce que j\u2019entends : les Africains doivent reprendre leur Conf\u00e9d\u00e9ration en mains \u00bb, lance-t-il avec conviction.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u200bAlors que l’image du football continental est parfois malmen\u00e9e, il appelle \u00e0 une solidarit\u00e9 sans faille autour de l\u2019actuel pr\u00e9sident, Patrice Motsepe. Pour l\u2019ancien dirigeant malgache, l\u2019entraide est le seul rempart contre les influences ext\u00e9rieures qui pourraient ternir l\u2019image du continent.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u200bLe football, bien plus qu’un jeu : un moteur politique<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u200bPour Ahmad Ahmad, le ballon rond d\u00e9passe largement les limites du rectangle vert. C’est un levier de d\u00e9veloppement social que les politiques africains ne devraient pas ignorer. Citant l’int\u00e9r\u00eat croissant de leaders mondiaux, comme Emmanuel Macron, pour le sport en tant qu’outil diplomatique et \u00e9conomique \u00e0 Nairobi, il regrette une certaine forme de timidit\u00e9 chez les d\u00e9cideurs du continent.<\/p>\n

\u200bIl n’est pas intelligent de ne pas profiter de cette opportunit\u00e9, surtout du pouvoir politique, pour d\u00e9velopper notre continent. Le sport est un levier majeur pour l’\u00e9panouissement de la jeunesse. \u00bb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u200bUn h\u00e9ritage assum\u00e9 malgr\u00e9 les temp\u00eates<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u200bLorsqu’on l\u2019interroge sur la fin mouvement\u00e9e de son mandat, Ahmad Ahmad reste philosophe. Homme de foi, il dit s’en remettre \u00e0 son destin. Il rappelle qu’en arrivant \u00e0 Addis-Abeba, il avait annonc\u00e9 que sa pr\u00e9sidence serait celle de la \u00ab rupture \u00bb apr\u00e8s des d\u00e9cennies de gestion monolithique.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u200bS\u2019il reconna\u00eet que son d\u00e9part s\u2019est fait dans un climat de tension, il reste fier du travail accompli :<\/p>\n

Quoi qu\u2019on dise, il y a l\u2019h\u00e9ritage, on ne peut pas l\u2019effacer. \u00bb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Il souligne notamment une r\u00e9ussite majeure, souvent ignor\u00e9e : la transformation statutaire de la CAF.<\/p>\n

Aujourd’hui, aucune conf\u00e9d\u00e9ration au monde n\u2019a un statut l\u00e9gal comme la CAF. C’est une ONG dot\u00e9e de pouvoirs diplomatiques r\u00e9els. \u00bb<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u200bL’amour ind\u00e9fectible pour le Cameroun<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u200bEnfin, l\u2019ancien pr\u00e9sident n\u2019a pu cacher son \u00e9motion face \u00e0 l\u2019accueil que lui r\u00e9serve syst\u00e9matiquement le public camerounais. Que ce soit lors de ses p\u00e8lerinages \u00e0 la Mecque ou dans les rues de Yaound\u00e9, les t\u00e9moignages d’affection des Camerounais le touchent au plus haut point.<\/p>\n

Ces compliments qu\u2019on m\u2019adresse, \u00e7a me va droit au c\u0153ur \u00bb,<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

conclut-il, avant de r\u00e9it\u00e9rer sa gratitude envers Samuel Eto\u2019o, rappelant que leur soutien mutuel est le fruit d\u2019un parcours commun au service du football.<\/p>\n

\u200bUne chose est certaine : bien qu’il ne soit plus aux commandes, Ahmad Ahmad garde un \u0153il attentif et passionn\u00e9 sur le football africain, avec l\u2019espoir de voir le continent enfin \u00ab reprendre du poil de la b\u00eate<\/em> \u00bb.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
