Résumé




Au cours des 50 dernières années, la région de l'Afrique australe a connu plusieurs épisodes de conflits violents, et le Mozambique ne fait pas exception. La perspective dominante du Nord global sur la transition vers la démocratie insiste sur le renforcement d'une version eurocentrique de la modernité, symbolisée par une transition linéaire vers un système juridique unique et l’identité nationale. Ce dominant modèle international de justice reproduit la violence sous forme d'épistémicide, et la privatisation de la violence. Si les tribunaux ne peuvent pas mettre fin aux guerres civiles, quelles sont les alternatives ? Le but de cet article, qui se focalise sur le Mozambique et se fonde sur des entretiens et des données d'archives, est de déterminer dans quelle mesure divers processus de réconciliation nationale, qui sont presque invisibles et silencieux, peuvent trouver leur expression dans les approches de réconciliation nationale. Une attention particulière est mise sur l'analyse des initiatives menées (dans les années 1970 et 1980) pour s’occuper des « traîtres de la révolution » à travers l’organisation de rencontres publiques qui ont produit des pratiques de réconciliation nationale alors peu connues. Dans un tel contexte les limites du discours sur la « juridiction universelle » et des sanctions pénales contre les auteurs de violences sont sans doute mieux comprises et les alternatives peuvent se manifester plus fortement et s’exprimer de façon plus radicale.
