DROGUE (4) : DES QUARTIERS AUX CARTELS

ARTICLE Drogues, trafics, des quartiers aux cartels Kokoreff Michel MULTITUDES CAIRN En ces temps de crise mondiale, les marchés des drogues illicites sont particulièrement dynamiques. L’offre de cannabis et de cocaïne s’est démultipliée depuis la fin des années 1990 à travers des réseaux de distribution et de revente nombreux et complexes. Alors que l’héroïne a connu un net déclin en Europe,…

¿Arde Francia? En Francia estamos en un momento fascista... esto puede medirse por el posicionamiento político de los sindicatos policiales... Desde los años 70 todos los disturbios urbanos en Francia han seguido el mismo patrón: un joven negro o de raza árabe muere como resultado de una interacción violenta con un agente de policía... Los problemas sociales siguen siendo los mismos y se acumulan... a los que se superponen las causas etnorraciales, con ese sentimiento de exclusión que les acompañan, el racismo, la islamofobia, las discriminaciones de todo tipo, en particular los controles discriminatorios conocidos como au faciès [por el color de la piel]... alimentadas por la lógica de guetización que la política de renovación urbana no ha conseguido romper... Y luego están las causas políticas, es decir, el hecho de que la política urbana se haya abandonado por completo desde François Hollande, y su entierro por parte de Macron... las respuestas políticas serán decisivas. ¿El ejecutivo va a dejar que la situación se encone para legitimar su discurso de orden o va a tomar medidas enérgicas? En en el clima político actual, ¿es posible esto? Pues otro factor es la extrema derechización del poder

Le mythe de la jeunesse :Nouveauté, rebéllion, progrès technologique, Publicité

Pourquoi, lorsque les médias, éditorialistes et édiles culturels parlent de contre- culture, elle est souvent associée a un phénomène de mode ?

Laissons la parole à Michel kokoreff (Sociologue), préface de “les barjots”de Jean Monod, cité par Rémi Pépin

“En fait on se complais a disserter sur la “différence” ou sur la “nouveauté” des jeunes pour mieux les asservir. c’est que leur différence est corrélative du monde technique grâce au quel on compte bien les récupérer.”

“Si les jeunes sont nouveaux, le mythe de la jeunesse, lui, est toujours remarquablement statique, d’avatar, en avatars, il ne fait que renforcer sa fonction toujours identique: désamorcer le conflit de génération.”

Rémi Pépin, “rebelles, une histoire du rock alternatif”, 2007, p 248

France's 'invisible disaster': how heroin devastated the banlieues in the 1980s

Nasser was the first to go, back in 1984. His eyes were often bloodshot and he seemed to sweat a lot, his friends noticed. He had fallen for heroin. That was shortly after the 1983 March for Equality and Against Racism (also called the Marche des Beurs), the 30th anniversary of which has just been celebrated. Nasser went into Paris to join the march with his mates from the Bosquets estate at Clichy-sous-Bois, north-east of the capital. Nordine was the next to become a user, two years later. Both have died since, one in hospital in 1989, the other in 1993, of an overdose. Years later Mohamed Mechmache, the head of the community organisation ACleFeu, is still furious. At one point he stumbled on his cousin with a needle still hanging from his arm. Much as many other members of his generation, he is convinced "the authorities did nothing" to stem the plague of heroin, then HIV-Aids, which devastated France's estates.

Thousands lost their lives unnoticed, just like Nasser and Nordine. But the health authorities have published neither statistics nor reports on this tragedy. Indeed until now few university researchers have focused on the explosive mixture of drugs, Aids, sink estates and immigration. But things are at last changing. France's National Research Agency (ANR) has just awarded funding to Anne Coppel and Michel Kokoreff, two sociologists specialising in drug addiction. Their mission is to write a history of heroin, in order to obtain a clear picture of what they describe as an "invisible disaster", which they started investigating several years ago.

In the early years of President François Mitterrand's first term of office, drugs were plentiful and freely available not only in middle-class circles, but also for kids on out-of-town estates. Despite rampant unemployment and poverty, there was still a glimmer of hope as France's banlieue youth suddenly entered the political fray with the Marche des Beurs, asserting their right to a place in society. And just like everyone else, they wanted some fun too.

On Saturday nights they would dress up and visit their mates, riding in a Citroën DS saloon if one of them was lucky enough to have a factory job, or in a more humdrum Peugeot 504 borrowed from someone's father. Then they would drive to the Kiss Club or the Poney in Paris, or the Métropolis in Rungis (among the few clubs that would admit second-generation immigrants). There they could taste anything they fancied. Nasser and Nordine would go "wild" on these outings, Mechmache says. "With their mates they would smarten up, then at about 10pm a string of cars would tour the Bosquet estate at Clichy-sous-Bois, hooting their horns," he says.

Imported from Amsterdam and distributed in Paris, heroin gradually spread through the banlieue estates. It soon proved deadly in high-rise blocks where poorly educated or unemployed youths wasted away their time. A drug "to forget", heroin put an end to physical misery and sent users floating off on a cloud, well away from reality. In just three days they would be hooked. "To begin with they would disappear to shoot up. But after a bit we'd see them all over the place, in the stairwells and halls, the bike shed, up on the roof with the washing lines. We used to collect the syringes on the football pitch before starting to play," Mechmache recalls.

There were endless illustrations of their wretched existence: strung-out teenagers selling their parents' TV to buy that day's "stuff"; mothers sending kids back to their home village in north Africa to get off the drug; physical decline that parents could not understand; prison sentences for many, bringing deeper addiction; accidents leading to blood tests and the discovery of encroaching illness. Such scenes were repeated all over the sink estates around Paris, Lyon and Marseille. "In 93 [the Seine-Saint-Denis department] intravenous [injection] was very widespread and contamination spread like it was networking," says Nelly Boulanger, former head of the Arcade organisation.

"Everyone passed round syringes just like a joint … We thought [Aids] was a gay disease. No one told us how serious it was and the risks people were taking," says Ahmed Kerrar, a sports instructor at the Paris suburb of La Courneuve, who lost about 15 friends.

"Mums would never go out without their jewels, never let go of their handbag for fear their boys might nick them to buy heroin," says Yamina Benchenni, who used to run a group for mothers trying to cope with drugs on the Flamants estate in Marseille.

But the families were too ashamed and kept quiet. The first to wake up to the scale of the disaster were a few general practitioners. Didier Ménard, a family doctor at Les Francs-Moisins, Saint Denis, was horrified. "The first HIV-positive drug addicts started appearing in 1985-86. As very few of us would treat them, they came in from all over the eastern suburbs. We did what we could, making it up as we went along, trying unauthorised replacement substances," Ménard says.

Drug addicts in Paris in 1996 Heroin proved deadly in the high-rise blocks of French cities where poorly educated or unemployed youths wasted away their time. Photograph: Sipa Press/Rex Features At the time hospital departments were adamant that the only solution was enforced withdrawal and psychiatric supervision. It was forbidden to distribute syringes and opioid or morphine substitutes. The French Order of Physicians (the medical association) would strike off doctors who broke the rules. Some medical centres formed networks, on the sidelines of the health service that was deaf to their warnings.

"The public health service and many of our colleagues avoid addicts like the plague, and it's even worse if they're based in the banlieue. We were treated like dealers in white coats," says François Brun, who works at a health centre at La Busserine, Marseille.

"The social security had ample warning, but it made no difference," Boulanger says. In many cases the sick became outcasts, victims of a form of social xenophobia.

"At the time there was collective denial. A few of us tried to raise the alarm, but the moment we mentioned Aids and drug addiction, they accused us of playing into the hands of the far right," Coppel explains. With no policy on stopping the spread of Aids – the first schemes for exchanging syringes were only authorised in 1991, with replacement substances following three years later – the Aids virus went on taking a fearful toll. "We wasted five years. It was a hecatomb," Ménard alleges.

The word crops up whenever we talk to those involved during those dark years. How many drug addicts died of Aids on French housing estates? With no official statistics, the phenomenon was ignored for several years. There are just the patchy figures collated by isolated doctors and a few non-government organisations working in the suburbs. "Up to 2000 it was the main cause of death at my Francs-Moisins surgery," Ménard says. Kokoreff, a sociology professor at Paris-VII University, refers to eyewitness accounts gathered in Hauts-de-Seine, at Asnières, Bagneux, Gennevilliers and Nanterre. "On some estates not a single family was spared, either through overdoses, Aids or suicide," he says. "All these deaths are drug-related."

A study commissioned by Orly town council listed 210 heroin users in 1986; 10 years later half of them had died. Delafontaine hospital, a large facility north of Paris, registered 10 such deaths in 1988. Three years later the figure had reached 300. "We had five horrifying years during which 80% of our patients died," says Dr Denis Mechali, a hospital registrar at the time.

But reports by the health authorities make no mention of the death toll. "The first ethnological surveys carried out by the ministry of health highlighted the importance of sharing syringes in the spread of the disease, but little was done to help these underprivileged groups," says Marie Jauffret-Roustide, a researcher at the National Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm). She believes the lack of representatives, in contact with the media and policymakers – unlike gay organisations such as Aides or Act Up – was a major disadvantage for youths on the estates. Reda Sadki, who headed the Comité des Familles organisation for many years, endorses this view. "Only in 2001 did posters for the Aids-prevention campaign start featuring coloured or north African people," he says.

Farida Ben Mohamed survived this catastrophe, perhaps because she only started using heroin five years after Nasser. HIV-positive, she is on therapy. The daughter of a Moroccan labourer, she explains that her life changed course one night in October 1980, when her brother was killed by a police officer. Everything went wrong after that. She began using alcohol, cannabis and heroin, wandered from place to place on the Flamants estate and the northern quarters of Marseille, and did time for shoplifting and drug-peddling offences.

Ben Mohamed found out she was HIV-positive in 1993 when she went to a an accident and emergency unit for a sprain. She has been certified as an invalid for the past six years. "I saw everyone from my generation dying off," she says. "I wouldn't be here without my parents, who went out looking for me in the bars." Now prevention schemes are standard practice, but drugs have nevertheless become an industry on some estates. "We mustn't let young people go under, like they did with us," she says. Her tall but emaciated figure, her sunken eyes and jutting cheekbones are testimony to her tragic tale.
