FLASH 🔴 Disparition d'un groupe de tambourinaires venus du #Burundi en #Suisse: le @BurundiGov "tient l'Ambassade de #Belgique à #Bujumbura pour seule responsable des conséquences de l'octroi des facilités à des personnes qui veulent ternir l'image du Burundi"
Le @BurundiGov s’étonne "de la facilité avec laquelle l'Ambassade de #Belgique au #Burundi a délivré les visas à des gens sensés allés représenter le Burundi sans qu'ils n'aient présenté de document officiel" alors que l'@BelgiumInBuja est minutieuse "quand il s'agit d'officiels"
COMMUNIQUÉ 🔴 Rappelant que "la #Belgique délivre les visas au #Burundi pour les courts séjours au nom des membres de la zone #Schengen", les ambassades de l'#UE "nient toute volonté de nuire à l’image du Burundi" dans l'affaire des tambourinaires burundais disparus en #Suisse

Conspiracy against #Burundi's image?

@BurundiGov denounces an uncanny chain of events and the likely involvement of #Belgium embassy authorities in a case of "disappearance" of Burundian drummers, recently reported by Swiss newspaper "La Liberté".

2/n
Key elements :
- A group of drummers were granted the *NORMALLY HIGHLY SCRUTINIZED* Schengen visa through the #Belgium embassy
- for the purpose of representing #Burundi at a cultural event in #Swiss
- WITHOUT any supporting documents from #Burundi-an authorities
3/n
@BurundiGov denounces steps seemingly taken to circumvent local authorities involvement in an event representing #Burundi's image on the international stage, with the complicity of #Belgium embassy personnel.

C’est avec amertume que je prends cette plume trempée dans mon sang versé innocemment le 13/10/61 pr écrire à mes frères 🇧🇮s victimes jusqu’à l’heure actuelle de la haine alimenté pr le virus colonial, mais qui se dressent tjrs avec héroïsme pr défendre mon héritage.
@RFI
Chers frères burundais, ne me trahissez pas. Qui de vous ne connaît pas qu’avant la colonisation les Burundais étaient un seul peuple on ne peut plus uni, obéissant à un seul roi et un seul Imana?

FLASH 🔴 Pour l'ambassadeur du #Kenya au #Burundi, Kenneth N. Vitisia, "avec le #Referendum2018, les Burundais ont exprimé leur volonté de se choisir leur destin. Chacun a eu l'opportunité de dire exactement ce qu'il en pensait, ce qui était une très bonne chose"
Amb. Kenneth N. Vitisia (@KenyaEmbBurundi): "Avec ce #Referendum2018, je suis également heureux d'avoir constaté que la campagne électorale a été plutôt animée, que Rwasa a fait campagne pour le Non, ce qui est une indication que le #Burundi a progressé en termes de démocratie"
🔴 Kenneth N. Vistisia, Ambassadeur de #Kenya à #Burundi: "Même après le #Referendum2018, ceux qui pourraient avoir des griefs peuvent venir les présenter dans le dialogue inter-burundais mené par l'#EAC sous @WMkapa. Je crois que le besoin de violence a disparu depuis longtemps"

No surprise,
Posing at, attending #Burundi radicals opposition meetings, @RFI's @rutwesdras confirms (again) relentless anti-ruling party bias that has been noticed throughout @RFI's coverage of #Burundi

Dear @rutwesdras @AFP @AFPAfrica, @RFIAfrique @RFI and others,
will you update your article on #Burundi refugees who recently came from #Rwanda with comments of said refugees ?
or are you planning a full article on this matter ?
Video testimonies of refugees COMING BACK to #Burundi were completely ignored by the same medium
🤔but today, -written- refugees testimonies suddenly matter again to @RFI @AFPAfrica @rutwesdras

: "while the Nkurunziza government has accused regional actors (aka #Rwanda) of meddling to fuel conflict in the country, these allegations have remained largely false."

It is now (very) safe to ignore @issafrica from credible knowledge sources on #Burundi
Let's recall this:
#Burundi has showed 35 pieces of evidence to the @_icglr accusing #Rwanda of fueling #BurundiCrisis,
The @_icglr is the same organ which investigated on #Rwanda's accusations against #Burundi, of hosting Interhamwe (No proof found)
However, #Rwanda conveniently refused to allow @_icglr to investigate #Burundi's claims (which, again, are already backed by 35 pieces of evidences.)
Apparently, this is enough for @priyal_singh & @issafrica to conclude that the claims are false.
