Thank you very much.
There wasn't much time. All international NGO activities were suspended a week ago. As you can see, if we stand idly by there's a good chance that there will be a genocide in Burundi. The government is trying to get rid of all the troublesome witnesses by chasing them out of the country.
When the African Union decided to send soldiers to protect us the Burundian government protested. The African Union stopped protecting the people.
Even Tanzania, which is part of the East African community along with Kenya and Uganda, supports the government of Burundi. Tanzania took in the largest number of Burundian refugees at more than 200,000 and is currently forcing them to return to Burundi. Lately, the police have been burning down the stands where refugees were able to conduct a bit of business in the camps.
The biggest tragedy in Burundi is that we feel abandoned by those who are supposed to protect us.
