Bujumbura — After the last communiqué of the spokesperson for the government which many analysts considered as not researched, another minister of the same government comes with another viewpoint.
The security minister, Police Commissioner Alain Guillaume Bunyoni, says that the cause of the growing violence is the weapons that are held illegally. Today, he held a press conference in which he acknowledged that members of the security and defence forces who have gone astray also play a great role in the escalating insecurity. The security minister says that other measures to fight down violence will be issued soon.
On Monday, the information minister and spokesperson for the government, Mrs Hafsa Mossi, said that PALIPEHUTU-FNL is the first cause of the growing insecurity in the country. Her words differ from those of the security minister. Frodebu party did not take long to reject that the words of Mrs Hafsa Mossi. Recently, this party accepted that there exists a pro government militia whose aim is to terrorize political opponents of the CNDD-FDD on the eve of the 2010 elections. The Security minister rejects the existence of this group.
