Abstract
EnglishThis article focuses on the comparative history of Saharan law enforcement units in two former French colonies, during the period when national institutions were being established. By examining the daily life of these units, as well as the debates that their organisation prompted, we can highlight the contrasting effects of late colonial policing in two different post-colonial situations. After the colonial authorities failed to standardise a confusing and highly unusual situation, the first Nigerian and Mauritanian governments inherited the sensitive question of how to redistribute the colonial income of the arms service. francaisCet article a pour objet l’histoire comparee des unites sahariennes de maintien de l’ordre dans deux anciennes colonies francaises, a l’heure de la construction des institutions nationales. L’examen du quotidien de ces unites ainsi que des debats suscites par leur organisation montre que les politiques de l’ordre de l’Etat colonial tardif, tout en obeissant a des logiques comparables, ont des effets contrastes d’une situation postcoloniale a l’autre. Apres que les autorites coloniales ont echoue a uniformiser une situation confuse et faite d’exceptions, les premiers gouvernements nigerien et mauritanien heritent de la sensible question de la redistribution de la rente coloniale du service des armes.
