Kemi Seba arrêté : Le silence assourdissant de Nathalie Yamb et l'enregistrement audio sur l’AES qui a fuité
It's an open secret. Pan-African activist Kemi Seba was arrested on Monday, April 13th in South Africa along with his son Khonsou. Both men are currently being held in pretrial detention in South African prisons.
Kemi Seba is accused of attempting to illegally enter Zimbabwe via the Limpopo River. The activist allegedly paid 250,000 rand to François Van der Merwe, an intermediary, to help him cross the river. Mr. Van der Merwe is also in custody.
A rather quiet "big sister in struggle and heart"
The arrest of Kemi Seba has sparked numerous reactions, as well as a lack of response. Among the most striking absences is that of Nathalie Yamb. The activist, whom Kemi Seba often calls his "big sister in struggle and in spirit," has not commented at all on the misfortunes of her "friend." This raises several questions.
Why has the Swiss-Cameroonian woman decided to remain completely silent regarding Kemi Seba's fate? Is it a strategic choice? Have relations between the two activists cooled? Why? These are all questions that remain unanswered for the time being.
"Nathalie, she's always posting on social media. I don't do that."
In any case, an audio recording released this Saturday, April 18th, by the YouTube channel "Décrypter l'Afrique" (Deciphering Africa) is surprising. In this recording, a voice resembling that of Kemi Seba can be heard openly criticizing the leaders of the AES (African Economic and Social Agency).
"Nathalie, she's always posting on social media. I don't do that, I'm not interested. Saying: 'I'm with this minister,' it's ridiculous. And besides, to tell you the truth, my positioning... what I'm telling you is dangerous, but I think I can trust you and say that I only speak to you," the voice said to her interlocutor, in whom she clearly had confidence.
She continued: “You can count the number of times I sing the praises of the AES. Have you heard me sing the praises of the AES much? I have my reasons. When they offer me a diplomatic passport, I know what they expect of me. If I start telling you what's on my mind, for me, it's dangerous, because for me, we led a revolution, and now there are military men who have seized the revolution we made and secured their positions as presidents by relying on the Pan-African movement… I won't set foot in Mali again because we led the revolution. Assimi took power; at first, he pretended to be with us, and in the end, brother, he sidelined all the people who supported him,” declared the voice, which sounded similar to Kemi Seba's.
If these remarks truly come from a Pan-African activist, one can easily assume that he is no longer in good standing with the countries of the Economic and Social Association (ESA). This may be hastening his downfall.
