On peut comme en Rd-Congo se faire passer pour un musicien d'un groupe international. Au Cameroun, voici l'itinraire, plus courant, d'un jeune candidat  l'migration aujourd'hui en France, tel que racont par son frre.</p> <p class="story-body">En descendant le perron de l'ambassade d'Allemagne  Yaound, "Casimir" transpire  grosses gouttes. En ce jour pluvieux d'aot 2002, il ne fait pourtant que 18. On vient, pour la troisime fois, de lui refuser un visa d'entre dans l'espace Schengen. Comme beaucoup de jeunes Camerounais, il rve de l'Eldorado europen.</p>  <p class="story-body">Un mois plus tard, un ami lui conseille d'entrer en contact avec un rseau qui a fait son affaire de ce genre de problmes. Il le rassure : "Ce sont des gens qui travaillent en collaboration avec le commissariat de l'mi-immigration. Tout ira bien". C'est ainsi que Casimir apprend qu'il va voyager avec le passeport d'un tudiant camerounais vivant en Allemagne. La photo du vritable propritaire du document sera tout simplement remplace par la sienne. Le passeport est "authentique" et valable un an.</p> <p class="story-body">Le dmarcheur dcolle donc avec soin la photo originale et un complice au service de l'migration se charge de mettre un tampon sec du Commissariat sur la nouvelle. Il en cotera deux millions de F CFA (3000 euros)  Casimir. La plupart du temps, car ce jeune homme n'est pas un cas unique, les agents de l'mi-immigration reoivent entre 300 000 et 500 000 F CFA pour les services. Le reste va eu dmarcheur et au propritaire du passeport.</p> <p class="story-body">A ce stade rien n'est encore gagn car il reste  passer entre les mailles du filet,  l'aroport, le jour du dpart. "On a 50% de chances de russir", murmure le dmarcheur croyant rassurer la mre de Casimir. Il prodigue ses conseils au garon : "Sois relax et rassurant, souris  chaque contrle et, surtout, n'oublie pas ton nouveau nom (celui qui figure sur le passeport falsifi)".</p> <p class="story-body">Casimir sait alors que l'opration peut lui coter trs cher. S'il se fait pincer, il risque un an de prison ferme au minimum et une amende. Nanmoins, il va tenter sa chance. Sous escorte d'un policier gratifi d'un pourboire, il emprunte un chemin inhabituel pour atteindre le salon d'accueil. Le policier l'avise d'entre de jeu qu'en cas de contrle il niera bien sr toute participation  l'affaire. Pour Casimir, tout s'est bien pass. En s'enfonant dans le sige de l'avion qui le conduit  Paris, il a sans doute laiss chapper un gros soupir de soulagement.</p> <p class="story-body">Mais au pays, l'affaire n'est pas finie. Le dmarcheur se dit qu'il pourrait encore tirer profit de la confiance qu'il vient de gagner auprs de ses clients. "Ton fils a t arrt par la police  Paris et il faut 50 000 F CFA pour dbloquer la situation dans les brefs dlais", raconte-t-il  la mre de Casimir ds le lendemain matin. Rat ! Le nouveau laurat, trop heureux d'avoir atteint sa terre promise, avait dj tlphon  ses parents pour annoncer qu'il tait arriv  bon port.</p> <p class="story-body">L'intermdiaire rcuprera nanmoins le passeport pour le renvoyer  son lgitime propritaire. Le tout par courrier express.</p> <p class="story-body">Et le cirque recommencera avec un nouveau candidat.</p> <p class="story-body">Commanditaires franais et rabatteurs camerounais</p> <p class="story-body">Dans les annes 1997-1999, un autre rseau s'tait dj illustr dans la vente de visas au Consultat de France  Douala.</p> <p class="story-body">La chose tait notoire et la grille des prix bien connue : un million de F CFA pour un visa de 30 jours, le double pour 90 jours. Les agents du consulat, vritables commanditaires de ces oprations, s'abritaient derrire des Camerounais qui leur servaient discrtement de rabatteurs.</p> <p class="story-body">Ceux-ci accostaient les candidats  l'migration en leur proposant, moyennant finances, de leur monter des dossiers corrects qu'ils se chargeraient personnellement de dposer au consulat. Les demandeurs de visas n'avaient qu' se prsenter pour retirer leur passeport. "Le flou partait de l car la norme veut que le demandeur de visa se prsente personnellement avec son dossier", tmoigne sous anonymat un employ de ce consulat.</p> <p class="story-body">C'est grce  ce rseau qu'un Camerounais de 32 ans doit sa prsence  Parme en Italie. "J'avais dj essuy deux refus de visa quand un ami de mon pre nous a parl de ce rseau, raconte-t-il. Mon pre est entr en contact avec un monsieur qui a demand d'apporter mon dossier avec une somme d'un million de F CFA. Deux jours aprs, j'ai obtenu un visa de 21 jours".</p> <p class="story-body">Mais le bouche  oreille ayant trop bien fonctionn, le rseau a fini par tre victime de son succs. Ayant eu vent de l'affaire, l'administration franaise a discrtement relev de leurs fonctions les fonctionnaires impliqus.</p> <!-- end story layout piece here --> <br clear="all" /> <table width="480" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tr><td align="center"> <hr align="left" size="1" width="480" /> </td></tr> <tr><td align="center" class="basic-ninety"> <a href="/browser_sethome.html" class="blue"><strong>Faites d'allAfrica.com votre page d'accueil</strong></a>   </td></tr>  <tr>   <td align="center">     <hr align="left" size="1" width="480" />   </td>  </tr>   <tr><td align="center"> <span class="text-nav"> <b> <a class="blue" href="#top">Dbut&nbsp;de&nbsp;page</a>&nbsp;| <a class="blue" href=http://allafrica.com/stories/200303060616.html>English&nbsp;Site</a> | <a class="blue" href="/howto.html">Plan&nbsp;du&nbsp;Site</a> | <a class="blue" href="/whoweare.html">Qui&nbsp;Nous&nbsp;Sommes</a> | <a class="blue" href="javascript:void 0" onMouseOver="window.status='Publicit'; return true;" onclick="window.open('/media_kit/frames.html?page=main', 'Publicit', 'scrollbars,toolbar=no,location=no,nonresizable,width=600,height=600,left=0,top=0').focus()">Publicit</a>&nbsp; </b> </span>  <tr><td align="center"> <hr align="left" size="1" width="480" /> </td></tr> <tr><td align="center" class="copy"> <a class="blue" href="/copyright.html"><u>Copyright</u></a> &copy; 2003 Le Pays.
