WARNING AGAINST A NEW TUTSI GENOCIDE IN PREPARATION IN BURUNDI
WARNING AGAINST A NEW TUTSI GENOCIDE IN PREPARATION IN BURUNDI
We are bringing to your attention our organization's deepest concern about the advanced
preparations of a new genocide against the Tutsi community of Burundi, as ascertained
in the appended document; and we hereby request the Government of Canada to take
appropriate measures.
We believe therefore that this alert will be a reminder of our organization's relentless
calls to end the atypical case of Burundi, a country where the United Nations and the rest
of the International community were tricked into admitting a Special Chamber within the
domestic judiciary, with some of judges being appointed by the CNDD-FDD regime; all
this happening while it is public knowledge that the ruling party in Burundi is not only an
offspring of the very organization that perpetrated the October 1993 genocide against
the Tutsi, but also was found by another UN Investigation Commission of Inquiry
(S/1998/777) to be part of a genocidal network operating in the East-African Great
Lakes Region, in tandem with the ex-FAR and the Interahamwe militias.
Yours sincerely,
Emmanuel Nkurunziza
Secretary,
AC Genocide Canada,
NEW GENOCIDE AGAINST BURUNDI TUTSI IN
PREPARATION
Short of making the inventory of all the signs, one can point out some of the
most salient facts that should alert any well intended person on a
programmed genocide which has reached its final stages of preparation.
The situation in Burundi in 2015 is so concerning because it is strangely
similar to that which prevailed in Rwanda on the eve of the 1994 Genocide.
The deployment of Hutu militiamen armed with guns and machetes on the
hills of the countryside and in urban neighborhoods, is organized in such a
way that none of them is affected in their province or town of origin. The
aim of this strategy is to ensure that the assailants do not hesitate to kill a
Tutsi that they know, and above all, that they are not identified by the
victims.
It should be noted that today, as in the past, the genocide against Tutsi is
masterminded, planned and funded by secret organizations taking
advantage of a corrupt or politically cornered regime. It is executed by
young Hutu who had been previously trained ideologically and
systematically drugged before and at the time of action, and who are
afterwards paid to the task like mercenaries.
In these times where social unrest and political uncertainty are expertly
maintained by the CNDD-FDD regime in Burundi, it is obvious that
another genocide is its advanced stages of preparation. We thus make an
urgent appeal to all signatories and sponsors of the Arusha Agreement, to
dispatch from the UN, AU and EAC, without delay, disuasion forces in
sufficient number and well equipped, with clear ROE, and who will remain
until the safety and rights of the Tutsi community are finally recognized
and protected.
