We're talking about Burundi where the situation on the ground makes it very difficult. I think the leverage you have in supporting the work on the ground is very limited.
Surprisingly, there are still some people who are able to operate in the country and continue to do some work. I think we need to find these people and to try to be able to find ways to support them. Often it can be through, for example, capacity building at the regional level. I think that is what we try to do and what we see. The connection with other human rights defenders and other organizations at the regional level is critical in being able to put the issue on the table and to provide some network of support and solidarity.
Now, with the role that civil society can play in Burundi, I think we also have to be realistic, even in the current situation right now. The government is not very open to hearing from anybody. From the international sphere, there have been many attempts to push the government, including recently also from the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights. They made some strong statements. I think there needs to be very different levels and obviously, there needs to be some pressure diplomatically to push the government.
We hope that it can work, but I think there is no guarantee at this point to move forward.
