Cowztry'a Economic-P~litical-Social Condition Aasessed Harshly
(MAR(~iES TRUPICAUX ET MEDITERRANEENS, 10 Oct 80)....w� Cl~ut tiinc;o then everything has been done to prevent the United Nations and the
- (~AU f'rc~m continuing to be c~ncerned about the problem of Mayotte, an infcctious
fiinrii plutitnd in t}ie continent's flank. Again last 2 May the "Islamic Republic of
thn Cnmores" sont the secrutary general of the United Nations a reassuring message
, :~ttirming that "pusitive elements had occurred since December 1979 in the dialo~r be-
tiweo~t the Comoros and France, in order to seek a solution to the problem af the
Cnu~ori~n islr~~icl of Mayotte" and that "concrete measures really capable of leading to
gradu~l intogration oE Mayotte into the Comorian body had been taken." It must be
s~tid that ~11 these attempts at "dedramatization," on the part of a state directed
tincl infiltr~tc~d by mercenaries and a disgrace to Africa, scarcely attained their
gnal. Uespito the op~~osition of France, which emphasized that "The Island of
Maynttn was Fr.ench Uy virtue of the principle of self-determination and that the
Unitdd Nations did riot have to intervene in the internal affairs of this territory,"
tlio burnau of the Goneral Assembly of the international organization decided, l~y 18
vc~tns c~nd 7 t~bstentions, to put the question of "the Comorian island of Mayotte" on
i C:; ~gund~ aggin.
11n l~clvanc~ci riaso
I~dr tiltd C inic b~itig it seoms that nothing can develop without France's agreemen~.. i~or
M~yntte, lc~t us riot forget, is still the advanced base for the French navy on nc~
r~u~.~ n� t}~c gi~int c~il tatikers. Tlte Mayotte lago~n, in fact, is one of tlie largest
- in the wnrl~l, ~nd almost tha entire Frenc}t ~~avy could find refuge there. On ttie oc-
c;usion df Paul Dijoud's visit a co~tcentration of vessels had been arranged, with
most ot tho rronch Indian Ocean fleet.
Ar.~oi�dittg to tl~o lieutenant on t}ie s}iip, "Pansart," all of these vessels are assur-
ing L�li~ ~Icfonse of Mayotte and of one of the hot spots of the globe, the oil railway
i:ii;~C ('ollnws tho Mozambiquc: Canal.
lidw~:vur, tl~c worcls of Paul Dijoud, whether they concern the need to "democrat~ ze"
j~ali,tic~l life In Mayotte or to prepare for "closex cohabitation of the Mahorese
witli the Comorians," acc~u~re their full meaning when one is aware that the govern-
mc~nt iti 1'aris--or at the very least certain French circles--are seeking a less
nve;rtl.y col.onial and merc~~nary in both cases. It is known, in fact, that where the
M~iyatt~~ pr.oblem 15 concerr~ed France is almost totally isalated in Africa, where no
oa~c.~ I1Fl:i ucki~owlcdged the influence of the referendums and self-determination as be-
i.ng i~i f~vnr af rn~inta.ix~ing the colonial protectorate. On the other hand it :is known
thut t.t~d regime of "Preside~nt" Ahmed Abdallah is being more and inore openly ques-
t. ior~ea l~y u population th~it does not want to hear mercenaries rnentioned. The 111C1-
~ dents l.~st August that pitted the "president's" son against the rebelling population
- uricl tll~ nlocted re~~resentatives of the island of Anjouan showed that every day the
situnti~n is t~ecoming increasingly explosive in the Comoros, where about 100 arr~sts
huve l~eon mude in recent weeks.

Perie ,]EUNE AF'RIQUE in French 8 Oct 80 po 22-25
~Article by Sennen Andriemirado: "8 okesse 8etween Giscard and Hauphouet"]
~TEx.t] One year efter losing his throne, forgotten in the Ivory Coest
Wnere he lives in a gilded exile which he owes to Felix Houohouet-8aigny,
Jeen-6ede1 8okasea i~ not politicelly dead, in Frence. All he has to do
ie meke wevee in Abid,jan, end his imprecetions znd calls Por revenge are
h~erd in the winge and recesses of French politics during this pre-election
~eriod. On 9 September, during a f ifty-eight minute telephone call ta the
pari9 editorial 9teff of the CANARD ENCHAINE, he stirred.up the murky
depthe of en electoral camp2lgn in which it seert~s that the presidential
cendidetee end p7rticularly the out-going president will be spared
nothing. During this telephone conver9ation, the former emperor of Cental
Africe diecusaed nothing but his personel involvements with his former
"deer reletion."
- Nothing wee seid about the politicel reaeons for his ouster. At most he
cleimed thet the number of etudents messacred et 8angui in Januery and May
of 1979 wae exeggereted. At moet he esked for the creation of an inter-
netionel cortmiesion of ".nquiry to give him e hearing. 8y contrast, he
wee perticularly talketive ebout hi s peculiar reletiona with Giscard
d'Eeteinp's femily. "Yes~ [I gave] three times fdiamonds] to Giscard end
ance to hie wife. rhet makes four times... And to his cousina as well.
You cennot imegine whe~t I hended over ta thet f anily." His thinking
cloudeci by his diemonds, ewere that after his ouster in the night of 2Q -
to 2~ September, the French f anily "moved out" everything there wes in hts
E~~rengo pelece, he exclaimed: "They took from me in a pot, a big pot.
l,lell, there were 14,OU0 diamands in this pot. In the diplometic pouch
with the combinetion lack, there heve been 2,700 cut diamands." (NOLR)�

~okeeea w~nts two things: to return ta hi~ country (on his throne, very
likely), b~t elso to tell his story, in order to denounce the betrayal of
Frence in generel and Giacard in perticuler. He said that "Delpey must
be allowed ta speak. He knows everything from A to Z." But Roger Delpey,
e Calonial Army veteran whom he met in Indochina and w~nted to turn into
hi~ right-hand men and the universal messenger of his revenge, cannot
speek.
Arreated on '10 Mey 19E0 as he left the Libyan Embessy in Peris, Delpey is
ot the Sente Prison, cherged with "complicity with agents of a foreign
power, of euch a neture ae to be hermful to France's diplomatic situstion."
He ellegedly made contact with Libya to finence 8okassa's revenge canpaign
egeinst Frence: publicetion of a white paper end distribution of ~ecret
documenta turned over to him by the deoposed emperar.
According to hie attorneys however, nothing in the pretria~ files supparts
the ellegetion thet Delpey had any "complici~y" with "a f~reign power", a
motive which ~~ould briny his cese under the jurisdiction of ttie State ;
5ecurity Court. After his arrest, Delpey was questioned three times: on ~
1~, 14, end 25 June. Nothing since. Procedure is at a stanCstill. All i
it t~ok wes Bokasse's reawakening, f'or the French press to rememher Roger
Delpey, who has been reduced to silence es in "the gocd old Ba9tille days"
- according to same commentetors.
C~mpromi9ing
~ut what knowledge cen Delpey have which would account for s~ch silence?
'ff~e femoue confidences af Bokesse. In May 197:~, he offered his services
to "His Ma,jesty" who at the time w~s abandoned by his former friends for
not heving known how to kill moderately and discreetly. On 16 August, t`~e
report nf the "investigation certvnittee" of Africen ~urists wes published.
The monerch knew he wee "~'inished." 8etween 20 and 3'1 August, he
eummoned Delpey who ceme ta 8angui 2nd is b~lieved to have secured ~87
documents WhiCh were compromising for the French presidential f~mily.
Buke~ee hed underatood that France had decided to overturn him. One
month leter, it wes done.
F'louted Huebend
When he learned of this on 21 September during a stopover in Libya he
~sserted to ~ome Libyans that he was leaving for an of�icial visit ta
F'rancel he depo9lted a large anount oF money in a Tripoli bank.
Oelpey leter meintained that ne made contact with the Libyans ?n in-
~tructione from Bokessa and for the sole purpoee of unfreezing this
money. He did heve three meetings with the former monerch in his Abid~an
exile: in October and December 1979, then in February 1980. He wes even
suppaeed to meet a mysterious Zairian businessman settled in Libya who
would heve been able to release Bokassa's account. But the meeting never
took plece.

So on 17 April ~nd 3 Mey '1~80, Delpey went to the Libyan cmbassy in Paris
to sffect negotietions himself. On 10 Mey he went back. As he left, he
wes errested by the OST (Directarete of Territoriel 5ecurity). This was
b~ceuse in th2 meentime, the French presidency had leerned the neture of
e meesege which Delpey wes beginning to distribute, and hed decided to
put e etop to it. at a meeting in Nice of the Seventh French-African
Summit (8-10 May 1960), Giecard pereonally learned from his peers ~hat
Delpey wes supp~sed to have trensmitted e letter from 8okasse to several
Africen heads of etete. What did ~his letter say? Nothing extraordinery
really, ebout French-African relations, let alone high-level policy in
France. Giscard d'Esteing did not sufficiently esteem his r'ormer
"reletion" to entrust him with state secrets. Bokaesa's letter is in his
awn image. It ie whining, vindictive, vengeFUl, sorc+id: a vialent
indictment ec~einst Giscerd's Frsnce. For that matter the former tvrant
here claime thet he wee already supposed to be deposed in Mey 1979, end
thet his prime minister, Henri Maidou, and his vice-prime minister,
Alphonse ~Soyembe, were riving in to French pressure when they hastily
algned hia deposition. He ex~resses indignetion that, contrery to
promises mede to him by Rene ~ourniac (who was then government advisor on
qfrican affairs end had vainly asked him to ehdicete), he was turned ~way
from Frence where he sought refuge "es a Frenchman" in reality the
promiee hed became irrelevant since its condition wes abdication end not
_ ouater. Nevertheless 8okassa considers himself the victim not only of a
b~treyel but of ingratitude es well.
Yn hia letter, he even etresses thie ingratitude more then the betrayal,
_ by meking ecurriloue revelations about Giscerd d'Estaing, going ae f er as
to eeaert that rel~tions between the French president and the Central
Africen empress were more than friendly. Considering himsel`' betrayed as
en emperor end flouted as a spouse, Bokassa demands a conf'rontation with
Giecerd, no more end no le9s.
Exploeive Menuscript
The letter weg no longer distributed after Delpey's arrest on 10 May.
Neverthelese Giscerd was not out of trnuale: the 187 documents supposedly
. held by Uelpey could not be found. On 26 June, the accused told investi-
qetors thet the~,; never existed. Anather problem was to get. hold of
2n
even more explosive document: Bok~ssa's memoirs, the manuscriot of which
wae aeid to heve left Abid~an without reeching France It had to be
look~d for, this time ahroad.
_ The SDECE (Foreign Intelligence and Counterintelligence Service),
epecialized in investigetions abroad, took over from the OST. Its search
led it firet to 8elgium and Switzez~land, two French-speaking countries
whoee libe:elism often makes it possible to publish wor!~s whose distri-
- butinn ie forbidden in Frar~ce. But no Belgian or Swiss publisher '~2d
