d\u2019accords secrets ou de nominations strat\u00e9giques.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Samuel Simene, ancien d\u00e9put\u00e9 de Kisangani et ex-vice-ministre des Finances en R\u00e9publique D\u00e9mocratique du Congo, a trouv\u00e9 de l\u2019autre c\u00f4t\u00e9 du fleuve un terrain d\u2019influence \u00e0 sa mesure, discret, complexe, et souvent opaque.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight:

\u00e9tait un technocrate respect\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Form\u00e9 \u00e0 Kinshasa et pass\u00e9 par la direction g\u00e9n\u00e9rale des douanes (DGDA), il s\u2019\u00e9tait taill\u00e9 une r\u00e9putation d\u2019homme rigoureux et habile dans la n\u00e9gociation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sa nomination comme PCA du Guichet unique du commerce ext\u00e9rieur avait confirm\u00e9 son influence croissante dans la haute administration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mais derri\u00e8re l\u2019image polic\u00e9e du gestionnaire se dessinait d\u00e9j\u00e0 un autre visage celui du strat\u00e8ge qui savait utiliser les institutions comme tremplin pour tisser un r\u00e9seau d\u2019alliances \u00e9conomiques et politiques.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>La travers\u00e9e du fleuve<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">En 2021, alors que les tensions politiques \u00e0 Kinshasa s\u2019aiguisent, Samuel Simene, traverse discr\u00e8tement \u00e0 Brazzaville.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Officiellement, il est present\u00e9 comme consultant dans de structures locales du Congo voisin.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Officieusement, il devient un interm\u00e9diaire cl\u00e9 entre les deux capitales, facilitant des transactions commerciales, des transferts de devises et parfois\u2026 des arrangements plus troubles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00c0 Brazzaville, son carnet d\u2019adresses ouvre des portes que m\u00eame certains ministres n\u2019osent pousser.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>L\u2019homme des cercles ferm\u00e9s<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Samuel Simene, fr\u00e9quente les d\u00eeners priv\u00e9s des hauts fonctionnaires, les loges feutr\u00e9es d\u2019h\u00f4tels diplomatiques et les villas discr\u00e8tes du quartier de Mpila.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Les initi\u00e9s parlent d\u2019un \u201cclub du fleuve\u201d, un cercle restreint d\u2019hommes d\u2019affaires, de militaires et de conseillers politiques des deux Congo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">C\u2019est l\u00e0, entre whisky rare et promesses de contrats, que se redessinent les \u00e9quilibres \u00e9conomiques de la r\u00e9gion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Personne ne sait vraiment \u00e0 quel point Samuel Simene, p\u00e8se \u00a0mais tous savent qu\u2019il est \u00e9cout\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Les affaires floues<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ses d\u00e9tracteurs l\u2019accusent d\u2019avoir mont\u00e9 des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s-\u00e9crans pour des march\u00e9s publics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">D\u2019autres parlent de son r\u00f4le dans des circuits d\u2019import-export o\u00f9 la fronti\u00e8re entre l\u00e9galit\u00e9 et contournement fiscal se brouille.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aucune preuve formelle n\u2019a jamais \u00e9t\u00e9 publi\u00e9e, mais les rumeurs persistent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Et dans les capitales du fleuve, les rumeurs ont souvent plus de poids que les proc\u00e8s-verbaux.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Une influence sous surveillance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00c0 Kinshasa, certains le d\u00e9crivent comme un
