noire<\/a> comme de l’encre.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tIl ne reste plus \u00e0 chacun qu’\u00e0 jouer perso et \u00e0 tenter de colmater quelques br\u00e8ches encore contr\u00f4lables sur le front des relations publiques. C’est le cas de l’OTAN en tant que telle, qui se plaint de plus en plus que les pays-membres \u00e9talent sur la place publique leurs divisions, leur acrimonie, leur refus de solidarit\u00e9 et ainsi de suite; qu’ainsi, la question des renforts en Afghanistan devient un enjeu colossal qui impr\u00e8gne tous les actes et initiatives de l’OTAN; qu’ainsi on fera du sommet Vilnius un \u00e9chec parce qu’aucune annonce de renfort n’y sera faite, alors qu’il n’\u00e9tait pas question qu’une telle d\u00e9cision sorte du sommet de Vilnius. Ce que le Times<\/em> pr\u00e9sente ici, cette critique publique des pays-membres par les services de communication du secr\u00e9tariat g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, est assez rare pour \u00eatre not\u00e9 avec int\u00e9r\u00eat.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abGermany confirmed that it would send around 200 extra combat soldiers to northern Afghanistan to replace a Norwegian unit, but said that it would not move the troops to the south.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe appeal caused some anger in an already divided alliance. Nato officials said that the constant highlighting of the rifts in the alliance over troop deployments to Afghanistan was undermining all the achievements made over the past year. These public rifts and talk of crisis in the alliance are doing the Taleban’s work for them, one official said.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThere were never going to be decisions made in Vilnius about more troops for Afghanistan because it’s just an informal meeting, but now it will be seen as a failure because no one is expected to come forward with offers, another official said. The sense of crisis was made worse by news from Ottawa where the Canadian parliament is split over whether Canada’s 2,500 troops in Kandahar in southern Afghanistan should be recalled next year. Stephen Harper, the Prime Minister, was reported to be threatening to go to the polls if parliament voted against extending Canada’s troop commitment.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tMais l’OTAN a assez d’exp\u00e9rience dans le domaine des relations publiques, notamment depuis la guerre du Kosovo, pour savoir que l’information et la communication sont des mati\u00e8res hautement flexibles et caoutchouteuses, qui changent avec l’air du temps et selon les vents dominants. Certes, Vilnius n’avait pas formellement cette question des renforts en Afghanistan \u00e0 son agenda mais nul n’ignore que, ces derni\u00e8res semaines, cette question s’est impos\u00e9e \u00e0 tous les agendas. Par cons\u00e9quent, Vilnius devrait, aurait d\u00fb, puisqu’il semble qu’il n’y aura rien, s’emparer de cette question et lui donner une conclusion favorable \u00e0 l’Alliance. Si ce n’est pas le cas, la r\u00e9union sera effectivement per\u00e7u comme un \u00e9chec et elle le sera effectivement parce que, devant l’urgence des \u00e9v\u00e9nements, l’agenda initial aura \u00e9t\u00e9 respect\u00e9. Et l’on sait bien, enfin, pourquoi cet agenda initial a \u00e9t\u00e9 respect\u00e9<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
