Mohamedou Ould Slahi est un \u00e9crivain, conf\u00e9rencier et b\u00e2tisseur de ponts c\u00e9l\u00e9br\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019international, reconnu pour son r\u00e9cit de vie impressionnant et son talent unique \u00e0 cr\u00e9er des liens entre les personnes, les cultures et les perspectives.<\/p>\n
Mohamedou est n\u00e9 en 1970 \u00e0 Rosso, en Mauritanie, dans une famille d\u2019\u00e9leveurs de chameaux. \u00c0 18 ans, gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 une bourse d\u2019\u00e9tudes, il part en Allemagne pour \u00e9tudier l\u2019ing\u00e9nierie \u00e9lectrique \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Duisbourg (aujourd\u2019hui Universit\u00e9 Mercator). Il m\u00e8ne une vie ordinaire jusqu\u2019en 2001, ann\u00e9e o\u00f9 son destin prend une tournure dramatique.<\/p>\n
En 2001, dans le contexte des attentats du 11 septembre \u00e0 New York, Mohamedou est arr\u00eat\u00e9 en Mauritanie en tant que suspect et finit par \u00eatre d\u00e9tenu dans le tristement c\u00e9l\u00e8bre centre de Guant\u00e1namo Bay.<\/p>\n
Il restera au total quatorze ans en d\u00e9tention, sans jamais \u00eatre officiellement inculp\u00e9. Durant sa captivit\u00e9, il subit des mauvais traitements extr\u00eames : privation de sommeil, variations de temp\u00e9rature, interrogatoires intensifs, isolement prolong\u00e9 et m\u00eame des \u00ab ex\u00e9cutions simul\u00e9es \u00bb. Malgr\u00e9 tout, Mohamedou continue de chercher la connexion, l\u2019espoir et le sens. C\u2019est pendant cette p\u00e9riode qu\u2019il \u00e9crit \u00e0 la main, en anglais, ses m\u00e9moires mondialement connues, *Guant\u00e1namo Diary*, une langue qu\u2019il a apprise et ma\u00eetris\u00e9e en captivit\u00e9. Le livre devient un best-seller international, traduit en plus de 25 langues, et sert de base au film c\u00e9l\u00e8bre *The Mauritanian* (2021).<\/p>\n
Bien qu\u2019un juge f\u00e9d\u00e9ral ait ordonn\u00e9 sa lib\u00e9ration imm\u00e9diate en 2010, cette d\u00e9cision est contrecarr\u00e9e et sa d\u00e9tention se poursuit jusqu\u2019en octobre 2016, sans qu\u2019il ait jamais \u00e9t\u00e9 inculp\u00e9.<\/p>\n
L\u2019engagement infatigable de Mohamedou pour la paix et la justice lui a valu de nombreuses distinctions internationales.<\/p>\n
La douleur est un langage que tout le monde comprend \u2014 c\u2019est un pont qui relie.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Depuis sa lib\u00e9ration en 2016, Mohamedou Ould Slahi s\u2019engage avec conviction pour promouvoir le dialogue, les droits humains, le d\u00e9veloppement personnel et la connexion sociale. Depuis 2021, il r\u00e9side aux Pays-Bas, o\u00f9 il collabore avec diverses organisations sur des projets contribuant au lien social et \u00e0 la compr\u00e9hension mutuelle. Son engagement, notamment dans la production th\u00e9\u00e2trale Yara\u2019s Wedding, refl\u00e8te sa volont\u00e9 de d\u00e9passer les diff\u00e9rences culturelles et de r\u00e9parer les fractures sociales.<\/p>\n
Ce qui rend Mohamedou unique, c\u2019est son incroyable r\u00e9silience et son choix de pardonner. Il croit que m\u00eame les exp\u00e9riences les plus sombres peuvent \u00eatre transform\u00e9es en source de connexion, de compassion et de d\u00e9veloppement personnel. Son histoire touche non seulement \u00e0 cause de l\u2019injustice qu\u2019il a subie, mais surtout parce que, malgr\u00e9 tout, il choisit l\u2019humanit\u00e9.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
