SOUTIEN DES INTELLECTUELS AFRICAINS A ACHILLE MBEMBE/AFRICAN INTELLECTUALS SUPPORT MBEMBE
Ludovic L.
a lancé une pétition à destination de
ANGELA MERKEL, CHANCELIÈRE ALLEMANDE/GERMAN CHANCELLOR
Depuis plusieurs semaines en Allemagne, un lobby politique conservateur et/ou d'extrême droite accuse injustement le professeur Achille Mbembe d'antisémitisme sur la base d'une interprétation biaisée de certains de ses écrits et de son positionnement intellectuel sur la question palestinienne en rapport avec l’État d'Israël. Achille Mbembe a déjà souligné le caractère abject d'une telle accusation et reçu le soutien de plusieurs intellectuels du monde (y compris Allemands et Juifs) qui y voient une intrumentalisation politique de l'antisémitisme. Qui a bien lu Mbembe sait qu'il est un humaniste qui déconstruit intellectuellement toute "politique de l'inimitié" partout, en commençant par l'Afrique. La présente pétition vise à donner de la visibilité au soutien des intellectuels africains pour Achille Mbembe et à promouvoir la liberté académique. La pétition est assortie d'une Lettre adressée à la Chancelière
Angela MERKEL et au Président Frank STEINMEIER. La Lettre est un appel à rouvrir le
dialogue interculturel sur les fondements éthiques de la lutte contre
l'antisémitisme et les racismes.
ENGLISH: Over the past few weeks, Professor Achille Mbembe has been the target of concerted and baseless attacks by a concervative and right-wing political lobby in Germany. He is unjustly accused of antisemitism on the basis of a biased interpretation of some of his writings and of his intellectual position on the Palestinian question in relation to the state of Israel. Achille Mbembe has underlined the abject nature of such an accusation and received the support of several world class scholars (including German and Jewish scholars) who see this saga as a political instrumentalization of antisemitism. Mbembe is a humanist who intellectually deconstructs any "politics of enmity" anywhere. This petition aims to give visibility to the support of African intellectuals for Achille Mbembe, to promote academic freedom and to reject any form of political instrumentalization of antisemitism. The petition is accompanied by a letter addressed to the Chancellor Angela MERKEL and President Frank STEINMEIER. The Letter is a call to reopen the intercultural dialogue on the ethical foundations of the fight against anti-Semitism and all forms of racism.
