Résumé
Cette contribution pose la question de savoir si le Nouveau partenariat pour le développement de l'Afrique (NEPAD), à travers sa Commission e-Affique et son programme de sciences et technologies pour les TIC, pourrait offrir de nouvelles possibilités aux minorités indigènes africaines marginalisées, qui leur permettraient de s'impliquer activement dans le processus de développement. L'auteur y pose la question de savoir si le NEPAD reconnaît le pouvoir des TIC au-delà du simple accès à l'information, particulièrement leur potentiel à servir de ressources aux opprimés, en leur permettant de mener un combat pour l'autodétermination; la ques tion consiste également à savoir si le NEPAD est prêt à aller au-delà de la question de l'accès, et à aborder la question du pouvoir et de l'Internet, ainsi que l'accès à d'autres TIC. Est-il possible qu'en Afrique les TIC deviennent de nouveaux centres de résistance et d'oppression? Cette présentation laisse penser qu'il est bien évident que pour les minorités ethniques marginalisées, telles que les Basarwa et les San du Botswana, ce nouveau forum et l'Internet en particulier, ne seront qu'un nouvel outil de plus destiné à taire les voix des masses.
