Burundian rebels killed

i think that is bad.

You just don't know what they are doing to the population. I hope that you will get some more info on the situation on the groung for you to make a more informed judgement.

Best regards

this for the amber legere , i honestly think that u should u mouth when u judge my country .

i am rwandan am very to know that the stupid rebels were killed in burundi kill some more please

yeah kill some more!
I am Burundian, but i live in England, and during my recent holiday there there were many bombings in pubs by rebels. Many people died and it was quite unsafe to travell at night. If it wasn't for the stupid rebels, Burundi would be a great place to live.

I am burundian too, I live in NY and I am tired of going back to Burundi and see that things are just getting worse. No electrity for two days? What?!

Iam burundi live here in holland,Iwish all rebel are kiled and all of us go back home and build our country.

Well, those rebels are going to be part of the government and have been granted amnesty...now what do you think about that?
Burundi is going down in my opinion but hey, as usual it's only going to be public knowledge when mass people are killed. What a shame.

Dear my friend and all member who share idea,view and opinion.
Now our country are get little better.now is time to surport our government to build our country.
Burundi it's has lost billion of billion of dollar from civil war.
Me and you late take this opportunity and share knowlage to develop our country.
It's not a good time to blame rebel or any one.it's time to deliver to those are needs.
How many provence in burundi doesn't have water.power supply.school and hospital?
We dont need to blame any one we have to blame our self. for late things go wrong day and night.
We Burundians. we need to help our country not to blame rebel.
Since we are here in europe.america and else where in the global what we have been done for our country?
What I believe if you dont clearn your house no body from out side will come to do for you.We need to show before get help.

trust me their so stupid

funny how someone mentionned we should support our government..that's what every citizen of any country should do. But what if the government doesn't support you but instead is guilty of the worst human rights abuses? What if that government doesn't seem to be working for the people (like it supposed to?)

aii i went back home to claim my land trust me there are other mugabes in burundi eh, they have stolen land and there is no way one can get it back, coz as they say, once an exile always an exile even in your own country!!...unbelievable

The best Way to get peace is not vageance but there must be Forgiveness why to be happy once you see you brother killed the conflict will not cease if we do not confess and talk by offering forgiveness to one another.
Souvenez vous "Si l'humanite n'arrete pas la guerre,la guerre en soit arretera l'humanite.

I have all and only respect to President Nkurunziza the best leader of Burundi since Ndadaye. I just came from Burundi, the President is going a marvelous job. Hutus can finally enjoy freedom in the country.

hahaha..Sibomana you must be living in a cave or smething! You're certainly not talking about the Burundi I know..marvelous job? Are you crazy?

He's stealing millions from the population that is so poor it's ridiculous, he keeps on fighting with the different parties, people die and the war still isn't over ( just last week, there was some fighting going on in case you haven't heard).
Paradis sur terre eh?
And oh please, if he freed the Hutus as you're saying, pourquoi vous vous entretuez still? Coz the ones dying in Bujumbura rural, Bubanza and Muyinga aren't tutsis and the ones killing them aren't tutsis either...Think about that.

Lali why are you so bitter and angry???Burundi has been in war for so many years and H E President Nkurunziza has the toughest job in the country. Put yourself in his shoes, you are the head of a country with the lowest per capita GDP in the world, and yes Hutus are not unified they are fighting each other but so are tutsis. Tutsis have 9 main opposition groups, that is not unified. Bagaza and Buyoya still can’t sit at the same table without fighting each other. Our President is trying his best to bring the country together yet individuals such as yourself possess this uneducated mindset and think that Burundi should over the course of one night look like switzerland. Most people fighting in Burundi right now are not doing it for freedom they want power and money for themselves. Nkurunziza’s government is 60%Hutu and 40%t Tutsi. Buyoya’s was 99% Tutsi. If he wasn’t trying to bring unity he would appointed 100% of Hutus in the government as Buyoya and Bagaza did before Ndadaye. Tutsis are 14% of the population and in my book deserve 14% representation not 40%, yet you still aren’t satisfied with the 40% e.g. look what happened to Ndadaye who was the most moderate President one can have. It apparently seems that the only satisfaction that most Tutsis(not all, unlike you I actually believe in befreinding people of different tribes) will only be satified with a 100% tutsi government. That is the same thing some of the FNL want, a 100% Hutu government but our President is for diversity and against that. But more importantly you have the right to your opinion and so do I, that’s what democracy is about, agree to disagree without physical violence.

Sibomana,

I didn't imply that Nkurunziza is extremist or that tutsis are somehow discriminated against.
No, what I believe (and as you stated, we are all entitled to our opinions) is that Nkurunziza is not a fit leader.
What we need is a strong president, who would not tolerate as much corruption as there is in the country, a president that would not let his generals dictate the law and order of the country, a President that would unite all the different fighting parties instead of trying to divide them until a constitutional blockage is created...That's what we need.
I'm not saying Nkurunziza is a bad person, he's actually very likable. But a leader? No, sorry.
And before you tell me all the bad things that the previous "tutsi" leaders did, let me save you the trouble: the previous leaders were not benefiting the country either. But just because they did whatever they did does not mean that Nkurunziza needs to be given a pass either.
Burundi needed change. We thought things were going to change back in 2005.
What did? They are still poor, people are still killing each other and there's a lot of tension in the air. Of course, things aren't as bad as they were during the war, but we haven't seen that much progress either two years into the process.

I also don't agree with your assessment that tutsis only need 14% representation. I'm sorry buddy, but they believe that their physical survival depends on their political survival as well. It's not fair and all but hey, if we go by our history, nothing guarantees their protection in case something goes down( circa Burundi october 1993 or Rwanda april 1994). It's just reality man. Until we're all confortable and sure that the other one won't try to kill the other when there's a problem, equal power sharing is needed. As time goes by and we're all able to live peacefully together, things will fall back into their natural place.

Lali, I think you might be putting too much responsibility on the Head of State. He is one man and is limited with his ability to change a nation. Corruption in Burundi is rampant but not as much as that of other African nations e.g Cameroon, Nigeria, Kenya, Zimbabwe etc…But regardless I too am not impressed with the corruption in Burundi. But a more important question is who is to blame? I would accentuate the blame on the people and as you stated, army generals who are guilty of that crime. Burundi is not at the same state as the US or any other stable nation. In the United States the government, or rather the people have established a system of accountability where each branch of government is accountable to the other. So in the US, Congress (the house and senate)is liable to the Executive branch(the office of President), and to the Supreme Court and vice versa for each branch. Most conspicuous however is that the military in the US is under the President, who is the command and chief. In Burundi however, the military is not as unified and its members are loyal to their political parties and not to the Burundi government. For example Burundi soldiers in the Frodebu,Uprona, or CNDD parties are more loyal to their parties than they are to the Burundi government. Consequentially, the rampant corruption can’t not eradicate by the efforts of Nkurunziza alone. The leaders of the various political parties exert more influential that can bring about change and hence it is them who are the primary factor needed to alleviate corruption in Burundi. Nkurunziza is a great leader in my opinion, but say the minister of Finance is FNL and embezzles money, who do you think can influence the minister to halt such corrupt behavior, Nkurunziza or the leader of FNL. In this case I would argue the FNL leader, and thus my hypothesis stands, the political parties exert more control on the level of corruption than the president.

I see...so Nkurunziza isn't amongst the ones robbing the country blind eh? Say sir, whatever happened to that presidential plane again?

Anyway, let's agree to disagree. At least we care enough to follow what's going on back home. Our interpretations of what's going on may be different but hey, c'est la vie. We're having a discussion ( I'll even forgive you for calling me bitter, angry , ignorant and let's see..yeah..close minded)
;)

I have visited Burundi in January 2006 and since then I am interested in the situation in that beautiful country.

I was actually was planning to build a house near lake Tanganyika but a burundian friend says I should wait and see the outcome of the 2010 election as there seem to be tensions in the country etc...

Well,when I read the news there is something I don`t understand.Once,the media used to say that Radjabu was the one causing trouble in Burundi and they said they had tapes testifying that he was insulting the president and inciting people to war etc...But now that he is arrested ,every body is saying that he was innocent,a man fighting for peace etc...Those who were accusing him are now defending him!

Another thing I don`t understand is the rebels fighting to liberate Hutu while the same Hutu are ruling the country!And I have heard that there are even tusti`s among the FNL.

Then,I came to a conclusion that(In General) either Burundians are liars ,saying something they don`t mean or ...please answer me on this.

Indeed,Burundians should stop killing each other because of their ethnic background and focuss more on WORK to develop their country .
