Ce professeur, longtemps par\u00e9 des oripeaux de l\u2019expertise acad\u00e9mique, est en r\u00e9alit\u00e9 l\u2019incarnation d\u2019une controverse inextinguible. Conseiller officieux du r\u00e9gime du pr\u00e9sident Juv\u00e9nal Habyarimana, dont il fut \u00e0 la fois le lobbyiste z\u00e9l\u00e9 et l\u2019avocat tacite dans les cercles diplomatiques europ\u00e9ens, Reyntjens n\u2019a jamais su ni voulu se d\u00e9partir de ses attaches id\u00e9ologiques. <\/p>\n

Sa plume, loin d\u2019\u00eatre celle d\u2019un acad\u00e9mique impartial, s\u2019apparente \u00e0 celle d\u2019un militant, porteur d\u2019un h\u00e9ritage politique marqu\u00e9 par les relents du Parmehutu et d\u2019une nostalgie non dissimul\u00e9e pour l\u2019ancien ordre ethno-nationaliste.<\/p>\n

La communaut\u00e9 scientifique s\u00e9rieuse des historiens l\u2019a depuis longtemps rel\u00e9gu\u00e9 aux marges, d\u00e9non\u00e7ant le caract\u00e8re ouvertement biais\u00e9 de ses analyses. Non content de s\u2019opposer aux \u00e9vidences document\u00e9es par la justice internationale et par les travaux rigoureux des historiens, il a multipli\u00e9, durant trente et un ans, les tentatives d\u2019inversion des responsabilit\u00e9s, jusqu\u2019\u00e0 contester l\u2019\u00e9vidence m\u00eame de la planification et de l\u2019ex\u00e9cution du g\u00e9nocide contre les Tutsi. <\/p>\n

En \u00e9rigeant la suspicion en m\u00e9thode et en nourrissant un discours qui trouve \u00e9cho dans les cercles \u00e9troits du n\u00e9gationnisme militant, il a trahi les exigences \u00e9l\u00e9mentaires de probit\u00e9 intellectuelle.<\/p>\n

Son dernier ouvrage, \u00e0 charge contre le Rwanda, n\u2019est que l\u2019ultime d\u00e9clinaison de cette ligne id\u00e9ologique obstin\u00e9e : une entreprise de d\u00e9l\u00e9gitimation, b\u00e2tie sur le soup\u00e7on syst\u00e9matique, la d\u00e9naturation des faits et la complaisance envers les h\u00e9ritiers politiques de l\u2019ancien r\u00e9gime g\u00e9nocidaire. <\/p>\n

La petitesse de son audience confin\u00e9e \u00e0 une chapelle n\u00e9gationniste qu\u2019il alimente et dont il se nourrit souligne d\u2019ailleurs son isolement croissant dans l\u2019espace acad\u00e9mique.<\/p>\n

Que l\u2019Institut Egmont, haut lieu de r\u00e9flexion diplomatique, ait choisi de lui refuser la l\u00e9gitimit\u00e9 d\u2019une tribune, n\u2019est pas un simple geste circonstanciel : c\u2019est une affirmation de principe. Car nul prestige institutionnel ne saurait \u00eatre offert \u00e0 un homme dont l\u2019itin\u00e9raire illustre, avec constance, le m\u00e9pris des victimes, la complaisance envers les bourreaux et l\u2019obsession d\u2019un r\u00e9cit invers\u00e9. <\/p>\n

Reyntjens n\u2019est pas seulement controvers\u00e9 : il est disqualifi\u00e9, par sa trajectoire, de tout r\u00f4le dans les enceintes o\u00f9 se pense et se fa\u00e7onne la diplomatie du monde\u00a0contemporain.<\/p>\n
