“…Pour entériner cette alliance, Garega recourt à la procédure de serment, qui prend 40. Cette situation n'est pas sans rapport avec ce que décrit Ian Fowler (1993) à Babungo au regard de la donne coloniale, où très tôt l'exercice du pouvoir est marqué par l'antagonisme accru du souverain et du dignitaire dépositaire de l'autorité coutumière et rituelle.
