Currently, Burundian refugees who are in countries bordering the region—for example, in Tanzania—are very threatened. Sometimes, they are forcibly sent back to the country without their consent.
That is why we are asking Canada to support the United Nations High Commissioner for refugees in its work with host countries to guarantee the civilian security of Burundian refugees. I am here referring to refugees in Tanzania, who are threatened and send us messages every day to alert us. So we are sounding the alarm and asking Canada and the rest of the international community to help the HRC in its attempt to guarantee the civilian security of Burundian refugees.
