Meeting with Sapouy's Kogl-weogo (Burkina Faso)
Rencontre avec les Kogl-weogo de Sapouy (Burkina Faso)
LePictorium_0145766.jpg
Sapouy, Burkina Faso, March 14th, 2016. Meeting with Sapouy's Kogl-weogo (Burkina Faso)
Kogl-weogo, literally "defenders of the bush" in the MorƩ language, are grouped in association in order to form rustic militias. Their purpose is to fight against thieves in rural areas, where the police isn't always active and where they blame justice for not doing its job by letting free too easily presumed thieves, because of a lack of evidence.
Kogl-weogo, with the support of the rural people, are chasing after criminals that stole, hold and sometimes kill innocents citizens to judge and punish them themselves.
Kogl-weogo, with their will to bring justice themselves, are bullying and torturing criminals until they confess. They are attached to a tree, feet and fists joined, for days where members of the association will torture them. This method can also bring death to thieves.
Those armed militias composed of ordinaries people are becoming a real problem in Burkina Faso because of their increasing number. The interrogation aorund this matter is a real topic and confrontations in Sapouy have been between police members and Kogl-weogo who were reunited in order to defend their cause after the arrestation of a few members of the Kogl-weogo group in the Fada area.
The government isn't giving his opinion at this moment. Some are seeing in this armed group, dangerous and hardly controllable people that aren't following rules and the law of the country.
Furthermore, confusion could spring between members of the Kogl-weogo group and djihadists who have attemped a terrorist attack in september, so 2 months ago.
Sapouy, Burkina Faso le 14 mars 2016 Rencontre avec les Kogl-weogo de Sapouy. Les Kogl-Weogo, littéralement les « défenseurs de la brousse » en moré, se sont regroupées en association pour former des milices villageoises dont le but est de lutter contre les voleurs dans les zones rurales, là où la police n’est pas toujours présente et où ils reprochent à la justice de ne pas faire son travail en libérant trop facilement des présumés voleurs, souvent faute de preuves. Les Kogl-Weogo, soutenus par les populations des campagnes, mènent une traque acharnée afin d’arrêter, juger et punir les bandits qui volent, braquent et parfois tuent d’innocents citoyents. Les Kogl-Weogo bien décidés à faire justice eux même, martyrisent, torturent jusqu’à ce que les voleurs reconnaissent les faits. Attachés à un arbre, ces derniers peuvent rester attacher pieds et poings liés subissant durant des jours les sévisses des membres de la sécurité appartenant à l’association, là aussi cela peut aller jusqu’à la mort. Ces milices populaires et armées se multiplient aujourd’hui au Burkina Faso et cela pose forcément problème. Le débat fait grand bruit, et des affrontements ont eu lieu ici même à Sapouy entre forces de l’ordre et Kogl-Weogo qui s’étaient réunis ce jour là pour défendre leur cause suite à l’arrestation de plusieurs membres quelques jours auparavant dans la localité de Fada. Le gouvernement ne prend pour l’instant pas position, et cela lui est reproché car certains y voient en eux, des groupes armés, difficilement contrôlables, ne respectant pas les lois et la justice du pays. De plus la confusion pourrait vite être faite, en cette période où à peine remis d’une tentative de coup d’état en septembre, le Burkina a subi une attaque terroriste il y a deux mois, et fait actuellement la chasse aux djihadistes.
