    En l’absence de sources fiables et non biaisĂ©es, les articles de presse peuvent servir Ă  Ă©valuer quelques causes de mortalitĂ© spĂ©cifiques, Ă  condition qu’une analyse politique des relations entre la presse et le pouvoir politique soit parallĂšlement conduite. TestĂ©e sur des donnĂ©es recueillies dans un quotidien majeur du Kenya, la mĂ©thode proposĂ©e permet l’analyse gĂ©ographique et historique des dĂ©cĂšs dus Ă  la violence policiĂšre, aux violences communautaires et au banditisme. Elle permet en outre d’identifier les divergences entre les discours parus dans la presse sur l’insĂ©curitĂ© et la violence politique, et la rĂ©alitĂ© des dĂ©cĂšs rapportĂ©s dans cette mĂȘme presse.In the absence of reliable and unbiased sources in most African countries, press reports can serve to evaluate some specific causes of death, on condition that a political analysis of the relation between the press and the political power is conducted. Tested on data collected from a leading Kenyan newspaper, the method proposed here is used to conduct a historical and geographical analysis of deaths due to police violence, community clashes and banditry. It also helps to point out the discrepancies between the press discourses on insecurity and political violence, and the reality of deaths reported by the very same press.ou
