I am just as surprised as you are. I have no answer to that question. I get the impression that they want to show they are not afraid of anything. They want to inflict terror.
As I was saying, no one dares speak up in Burundi. Even when I come here there are people who refuse to have their picture taken with me for fear of those pictures being published and the regime taking that out on their 90-year-old mother.
They are doing this to inflict terror and to prove that they can exterminate us.
