Johannesbourg, le 4 septembre 2019 – Greenpeace Afrique d\u00e9nonce la signature surprise d’une lettre d’intention de la CAFI par les pr\u00e9sidents fran\u00e7ais et congolais donnant le feu vert au forage de p\u00e9trole dans les tourbi\u00e8res [1].<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

La lettre d’intention<\/a> entre l’Initiative des for\u00eats d\u2019Afrique Centrale (CAFI<\/a>) et la R\u00e9publique du Congo a \u00e9t\u00e9 sign\u00e9e [2] seulement deux semaines apr\u00e8s que le r\u00e9gime congolais a c\u00e9l\u00e9br\u00e9 la “d\u00e9couverte” d’un gisement p\u00e9trolier dans la zone des tourbi\u00e8res qui, selon le r\u00e9gime, pourrait quadrupler la production nationale du p\u00e9trole. L’accord recommande seulement qu\u2019on\u00a0 \u00abminimise les impacts\u00bb des forages p\u00e9troliers dans les tourbi\u00e8res.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Par ailleurs, les passages de la lettre d\u2019intention sur la \u00abgouvernance foresti\u00e8re\u00bb reproduisent des d\u00e9cennies de relations publiques des bailleurs pour les multinationales du bois et passent sous silence la corruption profond\u00e9ment enracin\u00e9e dans le secteur.

 <\/p>\n

\u00abL\u2019interdiction de drainage \u00e0 grande \u00e9chelle pr\u00e9vue par l\u2019accord ne ferait rien, si jamais elle \u00e9tait appliqu\u00e9e, pour emp\u00eacher les activit\u00e9s en pleines tourbi\u00e8res des entreprises p\u00e9troli\u00e8res et gazi\u00e8res<\/a>. Bien que le statut actuel des blocs p\u00e9troliers de Total dans la Cuvette Centrale – l’un au c\u0153ur des tourbi\u00e8res, l’autre couvrant la totalit\u00e9 d’un parc national – ne soit pas clair, Macron aura une excellente occasion de le clarifier aujourd\u2019hui – lors de sa rencontre avec le PDG de Total!\u00bb, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Ir\u00e8ne Wabiwa Betoko, Responsable S\u00e9nior de la campagne for\u00eat. “Greenpeace Afrique d\u00e9nonce fermement cet accord – toutes les activit\u00e9s industrielles doivent \u00eatre interdites dans les tourbi\u00e8res”, a conclu Wabiwa Betoko.<\/p>\n
