Le livre rend hommage à Rose Lokissim, une figure emblématique de la résistance contre la dictature de Hissène Habré au Tchad. Rose, l’une des premières femmes soldats d’élite dans le pays, s’est opposée au régime brutal et fut arrêtée, torturée, et finalement exécutée en 1986.Son courage et sa détermination ont marqué l’histoire, notamment par ses efforts pour documenter les conditions inhumaines des détenus dans la prison de la DDS, la police politique du régime. À travers des poèmes, l’auteur retrace le parcours de Rose, de son emprisonnemen à sa mort tragique, tout en célébrant son esprit indomptable et son engagement inébranlable. Les vers de Neldé illustrent non seulement le calvaire de Rose mais aussi celui de milliers de victimes de la dictature d’Hissène Habré. Le livre explore ainsi la mémoire collective des Tchadiens, avec l’espoir que les martyrs de cette période sombre ne soient jamais oubliés. L’œuvre est reconnue comme un hommage aux héros méconnus, notamment aux femmes courageuses qui, comme Rose, ont affronté la tyrannie et laissé un héritage de dignité et de force. Le titre, Fleur de la présidence, joue avec le contraste entre la beauté de la rose et l’horreur du régime. Par ce recueil, l’auteur perpétue la mémoire de Rose, faisant écho aux grandes voix de la poésie engagée.This book pays tribute to Rose Lokissim, an emblematic figure of the resistance against Hissène Habré’s dictatorship in Chad. Rose, one of the first elite female soldiers in the country, opposed the brutal regime and was arrested, tortured, and ultimately executed in 1986. Her courage and determination have left their mark on history, particularly through her efforts to document the inhumane conditions of detainees in the DDS prison, the regime’s political police. Through poems, the author traces Rose’s journey from her imprisonment to her tragic death, while celebrating her indomitable spirit and unwavering commitment. Neldé’s verses illustrate not only Rose’s ordeal but also that of thousands of victims of Hissène Habré’s dictatorship. The book thus explores the collective memory of Chadians, with the hope that the martyrs of this dark period will never be forgotten. The work is recognized as a tribute to unsung heroes, especially courageous women who, like Rose, confronted tyranny and left a legacy of dignity and strength. The title, 'Flower of the Presidency,' plays on the contrast between the beauty of the rose and the horror of the regime. Through this collection, the author perpetuates Rose’s memory, echoing the great voices of politically engaged poetry.
