Opposition à la confiscation du pouvoir dans La Maladie du pouvoir de Marcelin Mokonodji

Bad governance, especially the confiscation of power, is decried in many African countries. African writers have created protest characters who orient the thinking of the people towards a mass movement. This is how Idouba, the President of the Republic of Bebané is presented in La Maladie du pouvoir by the Chadian playwright Marcelin Mokonodji as a bad leader against whom the lower classes, at its head Dongron, fights every day for a liberation. Total bad governance, corruption, favoritism, injustice and changing the constitution. How does the author stage the opposition to the confiscation of power? There is a vigorous opposition in the text between the leaders and the ruled, caused by mismanagement. The study of the ideology of these two groups of actors will allow us to see why the confiscation of power ends in a popular revolt. Literary psychoanalysis makes it possible to study this conflict of classes and individuals like Sartre commitment theory. The confiscation of power is ultimately a socio-political crisis against which political leaders and leaders of civil society never give up. This work is an invitation to take a leap from the population vis-à-vis the leaders who do not want to leave power by democratic way.
