Hier à Paris, c'était l'heure de vérité dans la course pour le poste de Secrétaire général de la Francophonie. L'audition des quatre candidats, par la 47ème session extraordinaire de la Conférence ministérielle de la Francophonie (CMF), a permis à chaque postulant de présenter, pendant 20 minutes, son parcours et sa vision, et de répondre, pendant 35 minutes, aux questions des ministres. Ceci était une première dans l'histoire de la Francophonie, qui a été permise par la réforme de la gouvernance de l'OIF opérée par la Secrétaire générale actuelle, Louise Mushikiwabo.

49 États membres, dont 23 ministres, étaient représentés à la CMF, y compris les Ministres des Affaires étrangères des quatre États ayant présenté des candidats (trois - Mauritanie, Roumanie et Rwanda - en présentiel, et une - RDC- en visioconférence).

À l'issue des auditions, deux conclusions se sont immédiatement imposées:

1) Les présentations de tous les candidats ont été faites dans un esprit très constructif. En effet, les trois femmes africaines et le gentleman européen ont pu dérouler leur programme, sans confrontation aucune entre pays ou candidats. Les même personnes ont d'ailleurs pu échanger, de façon cordiale et courtoise, lors de la réception organisée par le Président cambodgien de la CMF;

2) Un contraste saisissant a quand-même sauté aux yeux de tous; entre d'une part, l'expérience, la compétence et la maîtrise des dossiers de Louise Mushikiwabo, et, d'autre part, celles de ses trois compétiteurs. Mais cela n'enlève rien à l'ambition sincère que tous les candidats ont pu exprimer pour notre organisation commune.

La prochaine étape sera le 20ème Sommet de la Francophonie, qui aura lieu à Phnom Penh au Cambodge les 15-16 Novembre 2026, au cours duquel les Chefs d'État et de Gouvernement vont, sur recommendation de leurs ministres, élire ou réélire le/la Secrétaire général(e) de la Francophonie.

[Presidency | Rwanda @UrugwiroVillage]

“Nowadays, none of us can afford to be indifferent to geopolitical trends. Whether or not you believe that there was a rules-based international order, it is clear that changes are underway, which will affect all of us.

One thing that has not changed, however, is that right and duty of every nation, to ensure the safety of its borders and its people. It is that duty that never changes. Rwanda is no exception. And yet, for reasons that continue to elude us, Rwanda is consistently asked to ignore threats to its security and compromise its national defence.

The conflict in eastern DRC is neither new, nor is it too difficult to understand. It has been prolonged for decades, due to neglect and complacency, notably by those with the power to make the biggest difference in resolving it. Rwanda’s security concerns stem from the continued presence of the FDLR and its violent extremist ideology, which is the ideology of genocide. Unfortunately, that seems to have some backers in the region and beyond, under all kinds of guises.

Rwanda, because of its history and its geography, requires defensive borders. Our defensive measures are aimed at this objective, and nothing else.” President Kagame | Diplomatic Dinner
