Un des grandes th\u00e8mes des lamentations hexagonales et germanopratines, c’est l’insupportable marginalisation de la France, son notable manque d’influence dans le concert remarquablement dynamique et soud\u00e9 des (autres) alli\u00e9s, parce que la France n’est pas assez europ\u00e9enne d’une mani\u00e8re atlantiste, pas assez pro-am\u00e9ricaine, vraiment un peu trop fran\u00e7aise, etc. Le g\u00e9missement vaut pour toutes les mati\u00e8res et toutes les enceintes, mais il vaut naturellement et pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment pour l’OTAN bien entendu (l’OTAN et comment en sortir, ce p\u00each\u00e9 capital de la France).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\tVoici donc, comme illustration de la justification de ce jugement g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, un exemple de cette marginalisation et de cette non-influence de la France dans l’enceinte jug\u00e9e si importante de l’OTAN.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\tLe sujet qui nous importe est dans le fait que l’OTAN, habile et avis\u00e9e comme toujours, a conclu que l’Afrique est d\u00e9sormais un terrain strat\u00e9gique essentiel. (Curieux: les Am\u00e9ricains ont conclu cela il y a quelques semaines. Comme les grands esprits se rencontrent.) L’annonce est faite que la NATO’s Respond Force (la NRF, o\u00f9 le contingent majoritaire est fran\u00e7ais, pr\u00e9cision int\u00e9ressante) effectuera sa premi\u00e8re grande manuvre dans les \u00eeles du Cap Vert, l’ann\u00e9e prochaine. C’est le SACEUR, le g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Jones, qui l’a annonc\u00e9 le 13 avril, expliquant : \u00ab NATO should be prepared to engage in missions anywhere it needs to go.<\/em> \u00bb. L’exercice, LiveEx06<\/em>, durera autour d’un mois, avec plusieurs milliers de soldats de la NRF: \u00ab LivEx06 will be a real good final exam for the NRF.<\/em> \u00bb (Jones).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tLe r\u00e9cit des manuvres diverses qui ont pr\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 cette d\u00e9cision est r\u00e9sum\u00e9 par ce commentaire sur le sujet. On pourra juger du r\u00f4le et du poids de la France dans cette occurrence :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\u00ab The announcement by Gen. James L. Jones ended a dispute between the US and France. France blocked a U.S. proposal earlier this year to hold the exercise in Mauritania. France wants to limit NATO’s influence in Africa, and the decision to hold the exercises in the archipelago nation is a compromise which reflects this concern as it reflects the U.S. concern to develop greater military involvement in Africa.<\/em> (…)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb France has been wary of greater NATO involvement in Africa, where this country has traditional interests. Paris would prefer to see outside military involvement led by the EU. Last year, NATO quietly dropped an offer to provide backing for African peacekeeping efforts in Sudan’s western Darfur region after France objected. Instead, the EU is giving logistical support to a mission by the African Union. Jones reflected this situation when it said NATO’s military headquarters has done prudent planning in case it is called upon to prepare a mission in Darfur, but officials said the alliance could not act without a request from the African Union.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 14 avril 2005 \u00e0 12H30<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Un des grandes th\u00e8mes des lamentations hexagonales et germanopratines, c’est l’insupportable marginalisation de la France, son notable manque d’influence dans le concert remarquablement dynamique et soud\u00e9 des (autres) alli\u00e9s, parce que la France n’est pas assez europ\u00e9enne d’une mani\u00e8re atlantiste, pas assez pro-am\u00e9ricaine, vraiment un peu trop fran\u00e7aise, etc. Le g\u00e9missement vaut pour toutes les… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4503,583,584],"class_list":["post-66324","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bloc-notes","tag-afrique","tag-jones","tag-otan"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66324","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=66324"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66324\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=66324"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=66324"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.dedefensa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=66324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
