Our country has crossed a zone of turbulences consecutive to what it is suited henceforth to call the affair Justin Zongo now practically one month ago. Koudougou, Réo, Poa, Leo, Ouahigouya, Dori, knew demonstrations of protest that entailed the fire of the police stations, of the public buildings, of the seats of the party to the power with unfortunately of the losses in human lives. But how one arrives there?
Flashback: October 15, 1987 around 16h, some shots are sensible to the Council of the understanding. Out of these fed fights, the bad news fell like a cleaver: the Captain President Thomas Sankara is murdered and is buried hastily with several his collaborators in the cemetery of Dagnoin. They fell under the murderous bullets of the persons responsible of the “Front Populaire”. The whole world, Africa especially cried this murder. Some years later, on the death certificate of Thomas Sankara, it is registered " dead of natural death ". It has there that to Burkina where one dies of natural way sifted of bullets.
December 13, 1998, journalist Norbert Zongo is burnt quick with three his mates because of his writings on the "bustles David Ouédraogo", driver of François Compaoré. Under the pressure of the street, one displays his will to return justice while putting an independent investigation commission in place. This file is classified today without continuation. The young Flavien Nébié, the slaughters of Balpouré and Pièla didn't taste in light of the justice.
June 30, 2010 in Dagnora to 16 kilometers of Gaoua, whereas they went to a site of gold of Batié, Arnaud Somé and Yassia Nacanabo have been challenged by a team of patrol of the police. Transferred to the central police of Gaoua, they will be stripped of their clothes, money, jewelry and portable and will be tortured whereas they didn't have any drug in them possession. Following his mate's supplications, Arnaud will be transferred to the regional hospital Center of Gaoua from where he will succumb to his injuries, linked to his bed. But on Radio Gaoua, the authorities explained that Arnaud Somé broke itself the head while falling in a ravine, and that he has been stopped in possession of more than a kilogram of drug. This version truncated of the facts provokes the anger of the populations that demonstrates to ask for the restoration of the truth. A ferocious repression falls on them. Balance, two other youngsters cut down by bullets.
February 19, 2011, Justin L. Zongo, pupil in class of 3rd in a high school of Koudougou dies. Before his death, Justin Zongo had gone by two times to mean to the district attorney that he underwent bodily cruelties in the police station at the time of his questioning. On his medical certificate, it is mentioned effectively that Justin Zongo has been received in the center of health for strokes and injuries. But has the version of the authorities read to the radio as well that to the television of state: "… contrary to the rumors, pupil Justin Zongo died of meningitis… ". The protest of the population of Koudougou is repressed toughly, making the deaths and several injureds.
The logic of the flashback, since still the authorities of the 4th Republic travestied the truth every time on the murders. They always used the sheet of the lie to cover the truth. If they managed it in the past unscathed, they forgot regally that the people of Burkina Faso evolved and is not readier to swallow these snakes. More ever that.
The affair Justin Zongo is the drop of water that made overflow the vase. The methods of our authorities didn't evolve with time. There is the explanation of this big anger of the people of Burkina. Basta! It is necessary that that changes. One can regret the acts of vandalism, the fire and the destruction of public property and private, but one cannot deny to this people its right, and especially its duty to harden the tone so that the lie doesn't become a cardinal value of governance. How to be quiet and to wait silently for the justice of the one that always demonstrated you that he won't ever make it for you?
Closing of the universities, a flight forward
While deciding the closing of the public universities of Burkina, the Government demonstrates its feverishness, its refusal to face the problem and to solve it. As in 2008, one closes, one clears off the students of the cities, one starves them while depriving them of the food of the academic restaurants. But a method applied in 2008 can - it to be applied again literally in 2011 and to produce the same discounted effects? Does one nurture the reflection sufficiently before deciding? The days to come carry in them the answers to my questions. By my window I feel already to blow a new wind: it is soft and cool. Normal, the day was rough and hot.
