Burundi: Kabezi Population Harassed By Dissidents

Bujumbura — The population of Gakungwe in Kabezi commune was ill-treated yesterday morning by the so called FNL dissidents who were recently relocated there after the visit the mediation team and the national defence army made to Rugazi and Randa last week in order to survey the situation in these waiting areas.

These dissidents, who are supposed to be guarded by the national defence forces, intimidated and beat the population of Gakungwe and also stole their livestock and destroyed their farms. This incident follows the attack that targeted these dissidents on 21 October, causing more than 30 deaths according to various sources.
