Dafroza Mukarumongi Gauthier est morte ce m\u00eame jour \u00e0 Reims, \u00e0 72 ans, des suites d\u2019un cancer. Avec son \u00e9poux Alain, elle avait consacr\u00e9 pr\u00e8s de trente ans \u00e0 faire juger les personnes soup\u00e7onn\u00e9es d\u2019avoir particip\u00e9 au g\u00e9nocide contre les Tutsi en 1994 et r\u00e9fugi\u00e9es en France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taubira se souvient de leur premi\u00e8re rencontre, place Vend\u00f4me. Ministre de la Justice, elle accueillait Fatou Bensouda, procureure de la Cour p\u00e9nale internationale, alors qu\u2019elle avait d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de renforcer le p\u00f4le parisien charg\u00e9 des crimes contre l\u2019humanit\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elle connaissait d\u00e9j\u00e0 le Rwanda, ses militants de la m\u00e9moire, les tribunaux gacaca. Elle s\u2019\u00e9tait effondr\u00e9e dans les bras de rescap\u00e9es qui, \u00e9crit-elle, \u00ab avaient plus de courage que moi \u00bb. Chez Dafroza, elle d\u00e9couvre \u00ab cette force sans tapage, sans aigreur, juste, sans faille. Exigeante. Redoutable. \u00bb Puis pr\u00e9cise : \u00ab discr\u00e8te ? Non. R\u00e9serv\u00e9e. \u00bb Une retenue qui n\u2019avait jamais affaibli son exigence absolue de justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Derri\u00e8re cette r\u00e9serve, une histoire travers\u00e9e par la violence. N\u00e9e \u00e0 Butare le 4 ao\u00fbt 1954, Dafroza perd son p\u00e8re dans les massacres de 1963 et conna\u00eet l\u2019exil en 1973. Ing\u00e9nieure chimiste, mari\u00e9e \u00e0 Alain depuis 1977, elle \u00e9l\u00e8ve leurs trois enfants en France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En f\u00e9vrier 1994, \u00e0 Kigali, sa m\u00e8re la presse de repartir aupr\u00e8s d\u2019eux. Le 8 avril, celle-ci est assassin\u00e9e dans la paroisse o\u00f9 elle s\u2019\u00e9tait r\u00e9fugi\u00e9e. Des dizaines de proches p\u00e9rissent \u00e9galement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D\u00e8s 1996, Dafroza et Alain parcourent le Rwanda, recueillent des t\u00e9moignages, constituent des dossiers. Ils fondent, en novembre 2001, le Collectif des parties civiles pour le Rwanda. Leur conviction : une justice sans vengeance, pour permettre aux rescap\u00e9s de se reconstruire. Le collectif contribuera \u00e0 faire juger huit hommes en France, dont sept d\u00e9finitivement condamn\u00e9s. En 2017, le Rwanda honore le couple de l\u2019Impeta y\u2019Igihango, l\u2019ordre national de l\u2019amiti\u00e9 exceptionnelle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taubira retrouve aussi Dafroza dans les coulisses d\u2019un concert de Ga\u00ebl Faye. Ga\u00ebl lui apprend que Dafroza est malade. Elle redoutait, \u00e9crit-elle, \u00ab cette nouvelle qui finit par s\u2019imposer \u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puis l\u2019hommage revient \u00e0 la famille. Dafroza avait tant \u0153uvr\u00e9 pour faire entendre les absents. Dans la lettre de Taubira, une phrase suspendue dit combien il est difficile, d\u00e9sormais, de parler d\u2019elle au pass\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
