Pr\u00e8s de six d\u00e9cennies apr\u00e8s sa disparition, Ahmed Tlili demeure une r\u00e9f\u00e9rence vivante pour le mouvement syndical tunisien. L’UGTT comm\u00e9more chaque ann\u00e9e sa m\u00e9moire, celle d’un homme qui a pay\u00e9 de sa libert\u00e9 et peut-\u00eatre de sa vie son refus de plier face au pouvoir.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

N\u00e9 le 16 octobre 1916 \u00e0 El Ksar, dans la r\u00e9gion mini\u00e8re de Gafsa, Ahmed Tlili est l’une des figures les plus marquantes de l’histoire sociale et politique de la Tunisie ind\u00e9pendante. Disparu le 25 juin 1967 \u00e0 Paris, il laisse derri\u00e8re lui un h\u00e9ritage syndical et d\u00e9mocratique qui continue d’inspirer le mouvement ouvrier tunisien.<\/p>\n

Un militant pour l’ind\u00e9pendance
\n<\/strong>Apr\u00e8s une carri\u00e8re d’enseignant puis \u00e0 la poste tunisienne, Ahmed Tlili retourne \u00e0 Gafsa en 1944, o\u00f9 il s’engage aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s de Farhat Hached dans la constitution de l’Union des syndicats du Sud, d\u00e9fendant en particulier les droits des ouvriers des mines. Son r\u00f4le dans la fondation de l’UGTT, en janvier 1946, sera d\u00e9terminant, lui valant d’\u00eatre \u00e9lu membre de sa commission administrative d\u00e8s le congr\u00e8s constitutif.
\nEmprisonn\u00e9 \u00e0 plusieurs reprises par les autorit\u00e9s coloniales fran\u00e7aises, Ahmed Tlili organise en 1952 la r\u00e9sistance arm\u00e9e pour l’ind\u00e9pendance dans la r\u00e9gion de Gafsa. Arr\u00eat\u00e9 en f\u00e9vrier de la m\u00eame ann\u00e9e pour avoir particip\u00e9 \u00e0 l’Op\u00e9ration de Stah, il ne sera lib\u00e9r\u00e9 qu’en juillet 1954. Son engagement d\u00e9passe les fronti\u00e8res tunisiennes : il soutient \u00e9galement le Front de lib\u00e9ration nationale alg\u00e9rien et plusieurs mouvements de lib\u00e9ration africains.
\nApr\u00e8s l’ind\u00e9pendance, il cumule les responsabilit\u00e9s : tr\u00e9sorier puis membre du bureau politique du N\u00e9o-Destour de 1954 \u00e0 1963, et secr\u00e9taire g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de l’UGTT de 1956 \u00e0 1963. Sur la sc\u00e8ne internationale, il est \u00e9lu vice-pr\u00e9sident de la Conf\u00e9d\u00e9ration internationale des syndicats libres (CISL) et joue un r\u00f4le cl\u00e9 dans la cr\u00e9ation de l’Organisation r\u00e9gionale africaine de la CISL (ORAF). Il contribue \u00e9galement \u00e0 la mise en place de plusieurs soci\u00e9t\u00e9s coop\u00e9ratives qui permettront \u00e0 l’UGTT de consolider son autonomie financi\u00e8re et son ind\u00e9pendance vis-\u00e0-vis du pouvoir politique.<\/p>\n

La rupture avec Bourguiba et l’exil
\n<\/strong>C’est son attachement ind\u00e9fectible \u00e0 la d\u00e9mocratie qui scellera son destin. En juillet 1965, refusant la d\u00e9rive autoritaire du r\u00e9gime, il quitte discr\u00e8tement la Tunisie pour l’Europe, d’o\u00f9 il multiplie les d\u00e9clarations hostiles au pouvoir en place. De son exil, il r\u00e9dige une lettre m\u00e9morable adress\u00e9e au pr\u00e9sident Bourguiba, intitul\u00e9e \u00ab\u00a0Pour la D\u00e9mocratie\u00a0\u00bb, dans laquelle il l’exhorte \u00e0 renoncer \u00e0 la dictature et \u00e0 respecter les libert\u00e9s fondamentales. En repr\u00e9sailles, l’Assembl\u00e9e nationale lui retire son mandat de d\u00e9put\u00e9 en novembre 1966.
\nRentr\u00e9 \u00e0 Tunis en mars 1967, son \u00e9tat de sant\u00e9 se d\u00e9grade rapidement. Il s’\u00e9teint \u00e0 Paris le 25 juin de la m\u00eame ann\u00e9e, dans des circonstances qui ont longtemps aliment\u00e9 les interrogations, certains \u00e9voquant un possible empoisonnement. Rapatri\u00e9 en Tunisie, il est inhum\u00e9 au carr\u00e9 des dirigeants historiques du cimeti\u00e8re du Djellaz, \u00e0 Tunis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
