Mr. Speaker, despite an apparent lull in Bujumbura, tensions between the Tutsi and Hutu tribes remain very high following massacres that claimed more than 500 victims. More than 20,000 people have fled to Zaire from Burundi. The president of Burundi admitted this was the beginning of genocide, and meanwhile, our Minister of Foreign Affairs is so optimistic he seems indifferent to what is happening.
Could the Prime Minister indicate what measures were considered last night at a meeting of the UN Security Council to put a stop to the violence in Burundi?
