Thank you for the question.
The Burundian government shows no intention of changing things. Therein lies the danger. The government uses the state apparatus to oppress the people. This apparatus includes, as you just mentioned, the ministry of the interior and public security, starting with the minister of the interior himself, who is responsible for the national police, whose abuses are well documented. There are also the abuses of the national intelligence service. People are often abducted by the officers from that service. It is usually in those rooms that people are tortured or they disappear and never return. We see vans with the plates of the national intelligence service abduct people in broad daylight, and we never see them again.
The serious part is that bodies are no longer found in the streets like before, because there was a lot of pressure from the international community, which suggests that people are often buried in mass graves, for instance.
There are the national police and the national intelligence service. The ministry of justice does not bring those responsible to justice and is often in cahoots with the Burundian government. As I said earlier, the prosecutor general asked that four lawyers who are against torture be eliminated. There is also the president's office and communications service. Basically, those are the major institutions that are involved.
You must understand that there is total control over the entire state apparatus. Even those who initially do not agree are basically forced to follow the government's instructions out of fear of being repudiated or of reprisals. This trend applies right across the government.
